Member Testimonials
Variety of exercise classes
Front desk, instructors, maintenance staff…everyone is friendly and welcoming!! I like that there are different times for my fave program….ie aquafit! I wish they had a class for just deep end aquafit! As a person on a fixed income i appreciated the YMCA working with me to make it affordable. I tell all my friends to try the Y because I love it!
Great pool!
Good sign in and check out procedures- young people are employed
I enjoy coming to the St. Thomas YMCA each week. The crew members have welcoming personalities and are cheerful throughout the building. out of all the Y's I have been to, this is by far one of the cleanest. I always see the housekeeper wiping down items and keeping the changerooms clean.
Time at which the facility opens and closes
I love the family atmosphere and employees that work there, I also like that many things are included in the membership!
Your swimming pool is very nice.
I like the programs with live instructors. Now a days it is hard to find this at any gym. There are so many classes to choose from, plus the pool is an added bonus.
A family was in the pool, and the one little boy had a quite noticeable cold sore on his mouth, and the mother had a cold sore, not quite as big, on her mouth. Which means the sores could of been enfintago but quite possible could of been contagious. I mentioned it to two different life guards but they were afraid to say anything which is quite understandabe. Other swimmers noticed it too and weren't happy about it. I mentioned it at the head desk that maybe a sign should be attached to the poor doors about not entering the pool with any infections or open sores. I know there is a single or notice somewhere, but maybe one should be placed on the pool doors in large print.

It is a place where you find support as a new comer.
The group fitness instructors!
Appreciate the friends and acquaintances I have made both staff and participants. The aqua fit classes are structured and well instructed. Thank you for everyone of the YMCA staff.
The one I take I really enjoy. They have great leaders.
Really enjoy my time playing pickle ball.

Friendly life guards
Aqua fit -leaders who change up their routine.
Staff are friendly & courteous
The gym was straight forward. Clean and organized. It was not operated like a massive daycare centre. Your staff was polite and helpful. I really like this Y and recommend it to others.
All access no matter race, creed or financial situation
Love the aqua fit, the yoga classes & the strength & stretch classes. I'm there 3-4 days a week✨💖✨
Can drop in all day.
Your staff are what makes your facility worth the highest rating. We are just coming back to the St Thomas YMCA after being COVID cautious so we are unable to comment on current programs and activities. However having said that, Melissa, at the front desk was very friendly, welcoming and provided the various membership options. She suggested the best selection for our needs. Because we were members previously, she was able to process our payment quickly and easily. She gave us schedules for all the available programming. On the previous day we met two of your Aquatic staff at the Horton Street market. Jen and Kate encouraged us to visit the Y and get back into the routine of taking good care of our health. We are looking forward to getting back.
Excellent weight room. Clean and lots of wipes available for machines before and after usage.
The class, butvI would like the Aquafit later at 6:30pm
Friendly staff, good programs.
The staff are extremely friendly, always helpful. The programs are amazing, I like that the building is clean.
The lifeguards are always so pleasant, it is a very welcoming environment
I enjoy the pool and aquafit classes. There is variety in the presentations of the different instructors and their music. The only disadvantage is the size of the class and the crowded change rooms. Having a second class in the morning would help the congestion.
The Y does offer a variety of activities to suit many different needs.
Everyone is friendly. The group exercise schedule has a good selection of classes and variety of times.
My kids just love going to the ymca. What else to say?///////////
I love the equipment! Always sanitized & available too use whenever I go
