Aquafit
Love that child minding is available, club is always very clean and schedule always has lots of great stuff going on. Love that there’s a variety of group fitness classes !
More yoga sessions with extra special instructors like Pete and Sarah.
Your programs fit my needs
Your instructors and staff are always well prepared, friendly, knowledgable and attentive to individual needs
Your facitilties are well maintained and clean
I like that they started more hours for the walking program and that they have a variety of programs
The most important attractive points to your programs for me is the caliber of staff running your programs. Every one, I have encontered in my short time in the Goderich Y, has been super and praised by all for their quality of leadership, friendliness and genuine caring attitude. The building is beautiful and so very well kept and attended to without the usual smells of Ys.
The facility is clean and tidy. It would be better if the pool had opening hours from 4 to 7 pm again, to accommodate those people that have to work during the day.
Understanding there is a shortage of life guards.
Love the walking track and the very friendly staff and how well it is maintained
I use the gym and post operation on my knee/leg, hope to be back on the ice.
Pickle ball.
I like using all the machines to work out. Everything is clearly marked with how to use and what areas targeted using such machine. The staff are also helpful to suggest a better use of machine. Front staff are very friendly!
I feel fortunate to have a Y in my community to use and I especially like that it offers a sliding scale to make it affordable for those who struggle financially. i would pay more so that staff could have higher salaries.
Really enjoying the walking track being open to the community.
I mostly use the weights and exercise section of the gym. I also use the pool when it is open and supervised during morning to midday hours.
Free things
It’s all about the staff for me.
I am very happy that the track is available everyday and at various times at no cost to me.
I don't take part in any fitness programs. I swim and I work out on the machines upstairs. This is an excellent facility, very clean and the staff are friendly and professional.
I like swimming but unfortunately I am not able to attend on working days at midday or early mornings, as I work. Please do something about it! It is not fair that we, working members, cannot use swim lanes or hot tub, though we a paying. Please open a swimming pool for us!
Thanks.
Spacious workout area and variety of equipment
I haven't been able to take advantage of all programs as yet.. but I love aquafit .. And am so happy with the staff helping me with all my questions.. you have a super staff there.. !!
It's a well-equipped gym that's seldom overly busy, so one always has a chance to get in a full workout without waiting to use equipment
A very good variety - something for everyone
Just really like the gym have everything I need and want to fulfill my workout.
Looks like YMCA has good programs, we mostly are using exercise machines and walking track!

Walking track. It is a great addition for exercise when streets, roads, board walk is too icy to walk on.
