Member Testimonials
For many years we have enjoyed many of the programs that have been offered at the St-Thomas YMCA. We love to come and exercise and go for a swim.
We all know that COVID has changed the programing, but it will soon return to normal. We look forward to more programs in the near future.
Welcoming to everyone. Modifications available for all exercises. Wide range of activities that has something for everyone. Friendly,obliging staff. Subsidity available to lower incomes making it more inclusive.
Lane swim, and Jenn the Lifegaurd!

Excellent aquafit sessions and instructors. Atmosphere is very friendly and the Y is always very clean.
Kettlebells and other group fitness classes.
The Y's flexibility does an amazing job of meeting my fitness goals. When I am home , I can visit the local Y and when I am away , I can sign up for a virtual class.
Thanks for anticipating the needs of your members.

Swimming 🏊♂️
I love the aquafit. Your staff is wonderful.
The staff are very friendly and bend over backwards to satisfy your needs. The aqua fit classes that I enjoy so very much are a lot of fun and no two classes are the same. Thank you.
First of all, the aquafit program helps keep your body moving. You feel refreshed after the session. There is also the social aspect of sharing stories etc with fellow members.
All ages are included in the activities.
The instructors are wonderful! We are so fortunate in St Thomas
While I only use the pool at the y, I appreciate that the facility is available to all members. The staff are kind and courteous, always ready with a friendly smile. A great way to start my day!
I’ve just recently rejoined the Y after a long layoff due to COVID. My first visit was earlier this week. I was pleased that I was able to do all of the workout activities that I used to . My main focus is maintaining body strength, mixed in with a bit of cardio. The variety of equipment allows me to achieve my goals and only spend a reasonable amount of time doing it.I listen to music during my workout and don’t need to have much, if any, interaction with others.I managed to find a time of day where the workout room isn’t very busy. Looking forward to get back to a good routine while I’m on a break from hockey.
I only attend 2 aquafit classes a week from 11:15-12 so I really can't speak on the other classes. I love this class, well run, good music, very organized. Would love to see this class offered on Mon and Wed as well if you can fit it in. Thanks
Something for everyone
I’m only active in the pool, but it’s a wonderful help for my senior physical well being.
Lifeguards are friendly and conscientious.
Flexible hours
Very clean facility
The instructors are all very upbeat and happy everyday. It is a warm and welcoming organization.
I love the aqua fit program. It is fun and everyone enjoys themselves while having an excellent workout. This program has improved my mobility, health and fitness . It is good to be back at the YMCA in St Thomas after the pandemic lockdown.

Fitness instructors are well trained and very knowledgeable about the exercises we perform
