Member Testimonials
I joined the walking club and I have been very pleased so far. Everyone has been friendly and polite.
I attend the Aquafit classes
Staff
The ability it gives me to maintain strength and good health
Variety of different ones for everyone
The gym is very well equipped and boasts many varied types of equipment. The pool has been great-always a free lane. I enjoy the whirlpool and sauna as well. I haven’t taken a class yet, but note that there are many different types in the studio and the pool. Quite an impressive facility for a town the size of Goderich. And the staff are very friendly and helpful. The only negative so far is the strange way that the change room is organized. It would be chaotic if it were busy.
Lots of variety run by great staff and volunteers.
Excellent building and great staff. I wish we had one in kincardine
There is lots available. Gym equipment is new. Possibly a indoor baseball prep program for local minor baseball. You guys look after our diamonds. Possibly some collaboration for us baseball players who like training all year around

I only have used the pool for Aquafit. I am so thankful for the life guards that have stayed with Goderich YMCA. I know there had been times that they had to close, for a day or two, due to staff shortages. I know of one other Complex in the area (that isn’t a YMCA) that has had to close it’s pool because they can’t retain it’s employees. It’s so sad to see that happening as the community needs that facility
For Aquafit instructors make the workouts fun and different each and every day.
Myself, I use Aquafit as a continuing help to Physio (which I couldn’t access after my stroke in March 2020) it gives me a safety “net” that if I fall while walking, I’ll just float instead of falling. My range of motion and walking is greatly improved when I consistently go, so much so that my doctor complimented me on how well I was getting along at physiotherapy. I said “Thanks but actually using the pool at the YMCA Goderich”. Well he said whatever you are doing it’s working, keep it up!
Thank-you Goderich YMCA for helping me to walk again.
Great programs! Loved the big group at aquafit.
Lifeguards were so friendly.
Yoga class looked good and also the cycling/TRX class looked really interesting too.
Looking forward to coming back.

Thank you, Travis.

Lane swimming during the day.
Everything
The swimming and Aquafit is a life line for many older folks with arthritis etc who need this kind of gentle exercise. Love all the staff and wish they could earn more. Turnover affects numbers.

I am in the Cardio Rehab program and appreciate the availability of YMCA equipment to improve my physical health.
