Member Testimonials
Pool
I enjoy lane swim. The hot tub steam room so I know. Using the Fitness area. I don’t participate in too many other programs. But I can say that the staff that operate the building and work the programs, fantastic and knowledgeable, welcoming, encouraging and supportive to all participants. .
I have been a member at several YMCA’s across the citys of Brampton, Mississauga, Guelph. St .Thomas YMCA. Staff are by far the most welcoming and always willing to assist to the best of their ability, the members of Ymca.
I think St Thomas is in much need of a new YMCA facility. On the corner of Elm and Renaissance is a large open space that I think would accommodate the infrastructure required for a new facility. It would be great to see it have the model of the Mississauga and Guelph Y. offering a plus for both men and women.
Also a child care and play centres with organized activities for ages 8 to 13 similar to the infrastructure model at star Tech in London is great.
A full-size gym that can be divided into three. All the size of what St Thomas offers now. Mississauga why has this model.
A full size, the Olympic pool that also offers a therapy pool. That is three levels.. The wellness centre in Brampton has this model. It was fantastic for seniors and adults that are dealing with arthritic and physiotherapy issues.
The organized activities in the gym at Guelph, YMCA was fantastic for my children for the five years we live there.
They even had theme nights for kids ages 12 to 16 on Fridays.
A larger facility would be able to better accommodate this growing community with young families and seniors.
Lastly, I would hope as we move in the 2025 at the hours could return to pre-Covid times.
Due to these time constraints, I don’t feel like able to utilize the Y to the degree that I would like to.
As my ideal time to use, the Y would be from 8:45 in the evening when all my children are in bed. I would like to access the pool, hot tub and steam and then return home for 10 pm. This used to be my routine time at the Y Pre — Covid .
The activities I'm participating in suit my schedule perfectly. The staff are friendly and welcoming.
Wonderful instructors and great variety of programs
Love the programs ! Please have enough mats for people who would like to join the classes in all studios. New would be nice.
The ymca is great place every staff is pleasant welcoming...I can see every child is having fun .The ymca is great place
I am a staff almost 14yrs come october
I really like the facilities at the gym such as the pool and sauna and all the exercise equipment, though what really stands out is the consistently kind staff at the YMCA in St Thomas. Most recently Alex helped me out with my application and he was incredibly helpful as is the rest of the staff.
Love the aquafit program..the yoga classes, altho I wish there were more. Add more senior programs.
I love the kids programs throughout the year and being able to take them swimming as a family
Older childcare and activities so I can workout while my kids are having fun
They are great fir kids and family.
Teachers
Extremely helpful. Staff explained the options clearly and was able to get what I wanted.
The staffing team is helpful in explaining the layout of the facility also showing me around.
I noticed that the members are polite with to each other.
That’s all I will say for now.
May God blessings be upon you all.
there are a lot of programs that interest me, I'm starting with aquafit - thank you
The sense of community
Ver much
I only use the pool for lane swimming. The staff are always awesome and earns the score of 9. Of all the fitness centers in St Thomas this facility offers a great variety of activities for all ages. I have no interest in the programs given my fitness goals and time available. The facility has really improved its cleanliness since my last review. Great job! Did I mention all the staff I've interacted with are great???🙂
I really enjoyed all of the amenities of the pool and surrounding areas. I was so thrilled to see that there is a sauna and whirlpool, which I enjoyed very much.
I was there to do laps and the aquafit class which was terrific.
The facility was very clean and the staff pleasant and helpful. I will definitely be going here again.
Aquatics!
Great consistent schedule, very clean facilities, friendly & helpful staff
I only use the pool. However, I am aware of all the other programs involved at the Y and recommend those to the families I come in contact with as well as newcomers to our city
Very friendly, knowledgeable and wonderful instructors
My daughter enjoy coming for swim lessons. Right now it’s the only thing we do at the Y. I can’t think of anything I would change at the moment. The aquatic staff are always kind and friendly to my daughter and I. They try to help if any issues. I am happy that they split the swimming levels up more so now there is just a swimmings class which I think gas benifited my daughter.
Thank you!
I love the swimming pool and all the available times.
The pool has never been too busy when I attend.
Very happy with the Y-swim lesson programs.
i love the pool , and meeting the nice people who are members there
I like the variety that the Y offers. There are enough activities/events provided that meets ALL ages. I am a big fan of being able to access the all in one package of the pool, hot tub, steam room and of course the sauna. Few Ys offer all those amenities for the "regular" price. Many Ys who do have all those amenities have a "premium charge."
Great staff!
Already have!
