I really only do the aquafit. Currently taking at Wingham Complex. After Aquafit they have a gental Aquafit which is a great way for people to ease their way back into the pool after joint replacement therapy. Which has been vital for the ageing community.
All the staff are helpful, enthusiastic and provide many choices of fitness programs.
Aquafit is very popular and I appreciate the additional evening class that suits the working class
aqua fit classes daily are awesome
Variety of Aquafit instructors…all have different styles n music
You get to work at your own pace and can get help anytime you need it. I have made some wonderful new friends at the Goderich Y.

Everyone is very friendly
Clean environment
I really like aquafit!!
I love the pool trying to strengthing my legs and it is perfect for me
Sauna , Arena , Gym
Lots of options available at different times!
Lots of hours for swimming now, and lots of hours for open gym. It would be nice if the sauna was in the change room, or be able to access as the whole ymca is open not just for when the pool is open, just like some other ymca/gym locations. They would have the sauna's in the changeroom, do not need to be supervised to use a sauna.
well organized with excellent instructotrs
Good variety of exercise classes, friendly and supportive teachers.
Currently enrolled in the Cardiac Rehab program through the Maitland Valley Health Team, and am considering obtaining a membership when my program is done. What I have seen looks to be what I would need to continue my recovery.
All programs are very good but all l can use is the pool for my back.
Everything . Facilities, staff , programmes . Price of membership plus convenience
A great experience, with no judgement about physical ability and age .
Love pool and fitness classes
Always enjoy the YMCA programs and gym. Just not many rural locations
Great staff!
Everything! The Y got SOOOO much better when the town took it over - night and day. I was ready to give up my membership because the administration at the time did not encourage or listen to anything that members have to say.
The new administration and all of the staff seem so much happier with the Y and so am I
Well done all
The equipment is first rate. The staff is very friendly. It's affordable. Some programs are free. IThe Y is a great distraction throughout our long cold winter. It is something people consider when they are contemplating moving to a new community. It's important to people of all ages and various levels of health.
They are varied and accommodating to all age groups
I only take part in the 9am aquafit program and love it.
I regularly do Total Body Conditioning with Chantella, love her classes. Also enjoy Group Power with Anita.
Where do I begin? The community is awesome, I love the amenities, and the variety of programs we have to offer for all. I can sign my kids into child minding while I join a group fitness class or do my own workout. I can register my kids for programs like swimming lessons, soccer, art, or silly science. I can take my kids swimming or skating. I can walk the track with my stroller and baby. My husband and son can play basketball together in the gym. The whole family can join open family gym and there’s all kinds of activities. My son is registered for camp this summer and he is very excited. I love the updated fitness equipment and the space upstairs. The YMCA has been there for me since I first joined in 2011. I am a huge advocate for our association and I truly believe we offer something for everyone. I am proud to be a part of the Y!
I really enjoy the pool and the aquatic program.
I also enjoy the walking track.
I find the Goderich YMCA employees very welcoming and encouraging

Your pool is amazing. I am a life long advocate of either swimming or aqua fit as a means of achieving and continuing optimum health.
I have spent years (prior to moving to Goderich in spring 2024) making use of indoor pools to stay fit and healthy.
I did aqua fit for many years at "Movati" Health Club in Guelph, Ontario in the womens' pool.
I also did zumba during my time there.
I have never seen a more modern pool than yours. I particularly like the fact the air in the pool area is kept warm and most surprisingly the pool is kept a perfect temperature for working out with my water weights or simply swimming laps.
So thank you Maitland Recreation Center.
