Member Testimonials
we enjoy the swimming and skating. haven`t been doing much else at the monent due to health issues
Good staff. Nice space both workout, track and gym.
Love and appreciate all the adult swim lane times right now.
Huff and puff hockey
use weight area and walking track. very satisfied with these areas.
There’s something for everyone in our family. Mom does aquafit and multiple yoga classes plus walks the indoor track. Dad walks the track and uses the gym for training. Our son runs on the indoor track and works out at the gym and plays Monday night basketball. So many options! Staff are amazing especially Courtney at the desk!!!!
Classes like TRX
The children are really enjoying their swimming lessons
You offer lots of different programs at all times of day. The facility is clean and all the equipment is in great shape. All the staff are nice and friendly.
I am really enjoying the walking track. I makes a real difference to me. I am so grateful that
you are offering the program.
Thanks so much.
I really enjoy the aquafit classes. The instructors are excellent and make working out fun. It has helped me feel a lot better.
Haven't tried any programs. My activity at the Y is walking the track, which I enjoy doing 3 times a week. I'm planning to start participating in some exercise classes in the fall.
Love it
Your fitness machines are awesome.
The AquaFit instructors are amazing
Your staff at the front desk are The Best!
Thanks
Very happy/excited about the new advanced equipment!!!
Clean
Available 7 days a week
Hockey
I like that there is a variety of activities and programs.
Note that I only participate in the weight training gym and ice rink and will comment on those.
The YMCA Goderich has made tremendous improvements with the latest staff changes. New staff exhibit strong professionalism that was lacking for quite a few years. Recent acquisition of more ergonomic equipment and enlargement of the weight training room has created a very positive environment. Staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, and more than happy to provide professional guidance to those new to resistance training.
The ice surface has been improved considerably, and feedback is welcomed.
Overall best YMCA in Southern Ontario.
everything
They are geared to my personal needs and a schedule
Well “WHERE DO I BEGIN”, as what a “FAN-TAB-U-LOUS” facility for the locale. When you think such a facility in the “Big City” would serve a population of 100k, we’re ever-so-fortunate to have it here serving only 10k people! Then there’s the staff who are always “Professional & Personable”, not always an easy task when dealing with “disagree-ments” and “disagree-able” people!
We’re professionals from the “Big City” who “summer sojourn” here, so we suspend our Y membership “over there” May-October and take out membership “over here”. We could have bought a “cozy country cottage” ANYWHERE on “Ontario’s West Coast”, but it was in no small part due to your Y facilities that we chose Goderich!
As early morn’ “committed” lap-a-holics we certainly enjoy the facilities here, although the night-owls would think we should be “committed” (to the local psychiatric hospital) for taking-the-plunge by 06.00! The added
bonus for us is that it’s a tad less busy with 1-2 per lane, as compared to the “Big City” where it can be 4 “+” per lane!
It’s certainly wunderbar having lanes available 06.00 weekdays, as we can then get on with the “work” of the day such as “Golf-ing, Theater-ing…..etc etc etc” HA! The weekend service I’m afraid is “not what it use to be”, as when we first attended in 2005 the pool opened-with-the-building on Saturday 07.00 & Sunday 08.00. I can’t imagine the difficulty is staffing such a facility from “dawn to dusk” with the limited number of staff available in this small locale, but if we have one request it would be for the return of early morn’ weekend service.
I love all group exercises that I participate in - Cardio Dance - Tuesdays, and Mondays , Thursdays 5.30 pm steps. Also I try to work out regularly in a gym and I like all renovations that were made there this year. I like a swimming pool and hot tub after my swimming. Thanks to all personnel for their work!
Great services and staff
Free pass to use the walking travk
Great summer ice option!!
I like the longer hours at the pool. The track is great for walking. Good for the joints!
It is so different since the pandemic. Before March 2020, I went to the Y for physical activity and for socializing. It was fun.
Now, many people have not returned. Going to the Y is no longer fun. It's just physical activity.
Hopefully this will change once winter comes.
I think the YMCA is an amazing centre's with very nice staff.
