I enjoy the aqua fit and the staff assistance. That is why I am a member.
I love going to the fitness room. It’s always clean and there are an excellent variety of weight and cardio machines available.
Nice pooL
Friendly, accommodating, helpful staff
I love the group fitness, but I do wish there were more options for classes and times but I am hopeful that will start To pick back up. I also wish there was a group fitness only price as I don’t use the rest of the facility and only attend classes.
When my kids were young I also loved the child minding so that’s a fantastic feature!
People are friendly and encouraging. The programs scale well for level and intensity. The environment is respectful and safe. The equipment is well maintained. The music keeps the energy up. I absolutely love programs at the Y!
Great variety of activities
Nice people
The movement that this old body needs and the social time.
Group fitness classes are a great way to reconnect with like minded people and stay motivated and accountable to my goals
I love the teachers and sense of community. I also really like being held accountable because I’m working out around other people. No judgement, just a good, healthy push to better myself.
Reasonably clean facilities. Friendly staff. Lots of parking. Mostly I just use the pool for lane swimming which is great.
I love the ability to swim, in a lane, listening to music underwater. This is my hallowed place, and I feel it enriches my mind, spirit and body. The staff at the St Thomas branch feel like family, so kind and supportive. I am an immigrant, but it feels like home!
There are a wide variety of quality programs that appeal to all ages and fitness levels. Everyone is welcome here and the environment is fun and non-judgmental. The YMCA is clean and has lots of natural lighting. There is a warm, community feel and generally a wonderful atmosphere.
The staff is so friendly and the facilities are very clean.
Such variety.

I have been at the Y for just over 2 years off and on because of covid.
My time at the Y has been great, the staff have been doing a fantastic job and I thank them all.
I am only her for the gym so I can't speak for other areas but the gym is always clean and ready to use same with the change rooms.
Covid screening is in place and rule posted to follow.
Thanks to all the Y staff for making my trips to the gym enjoyable :)
We’ll organized and fun
The instructor are great the music in aqua fit is fantastic. The staff and Diane and Jen. The reason I come
I love aqua fit. It helps me keep my joints moving. Exercise that is difficult on land seems so much easier in the pool.
Love the aquatics classes. Very talented instructors
I like the Aquafit programs alot I will probably use some the gym machines when this crazy world straighten out.
Outgoing, friendly staff is the most attractive part of the St Thomas YMCA. They are always welcoming, knowledgeable and willing to help in anyway.
Current COVID protocols are appreciated - vaccine check upon entering, socially distanced aquafit and yoga classes with reduced numbers and hand sanitizer readily available.
Recently I had an incident in the pool and Lifeguard Jen was outstanding. She was caring, calming, compassionate and extremely competent. Fellow lifeguard Dave and instructor Diane were quick to come to help. Everyone acted exactly as they had been trained to do. It was reassuring and impressive.
