Member Testimonials

All of it…

So far I have attended the Aquatic Fitness classes. The instructors are very nice and easy to follow. I love how energized I feel after each class.

I love the lap pool, the warm pool, and the outdoor pool.

I don't utilize any of the programs. I only use the track and exercise equipment.

The pools

Love the group instructors! Clean environment, friendly staff!

I would definitely recommend this Y as well as others. The programs are very good and there is something for everyone.

Classes

The staff and instruction is competent and thoughtful.

Equipment is well-maintained.

It addresses the wellness needs of a wide range of people.

Poland childcare

Very helpful and personal,

The diversity and convenience

Swimming and the indoor track

Great classes, nice staff, excellent class instructors and a beautifully maintained facility

Love the pool. Very clean and well run. Also, no lifeguard’s music blaring from a boom box. Music is part of water aerobics and that’s great, but not during lap swim time when peace and quiet are so nice. Thanks for doing a fine job.

Love the yoga classes! Would like to see more yoga classes in late morning or early evening.

I haven't had a chance to use any programmed activity but I enjoy using machines, weights, gym, lap pool.

Very inclusive and diverse. All ages and ability levels are welcome.

Prior to the pandemic, I attended Silver Sneakers Classic (the easiest) class 3-4 days a week. To the best of my knowledge, there are now only 2 classes a week, Monday and Friday.

During the tax season, I volunteered to do taxes for AARP. Unfortunately the tax days were Monday and Friday so I could not attend classes for almost 3 months. My arthritic knees and one ankle kept me from going to classes after tax season. I am a bit better now so I started back last week. The class had to moved to a new location but it was packed. I did OK on Monday's class by modifying some of the exercises to lessen strain on my ankle. Right now I have a recurring appointment on Fridays so I cannot attend that class.

Is there any way to add an additional SS Classic at least one additional day per week?

It is a beautiful place with unlimited activities for all ages. I would recommend the YMCA for any age group. Unlimited exercise equipment for any age. We are so lucky to have this YMCA in this area.

Quality and accessibility of facilities and equipment.

Lots of choices. Happy staff!!

I come to the Gatton YMCA regularly. It is a big part of my life and a true support for me and maintaining my health. The facility has great parking; it's clean; it's safe. z The front desk staff are friendly and make one feel welcome.

Since I have joined and starting coming to the Gatton YMCA in the summer of 2021, I have been asked for feedback. I have given it, but nothing seems to have changed. For example, I believe a place such as the YMCA needs a "quiet room" where one can sit, meditate, and concentrate. I think it would be nice if there were some way to purchase a cup of coffee, a nutritious snack, and sit and visit with a new friend in the spacious atrium which is largely empty. I think it would be nice to have a few rules regarding the conduct who sit on an exercise machine and talk on their cell phone and impede the exercise routines of others. This could be solved with a sign or two and encouraging people wot use a bench to sit on and conduct their business.

I've got a lot of ideas and questions but no one to share them with. I don't know the financial status of the YMCA or its future. I only know it is an important resource. Does the YMCA have a citizen's advisory committee?

It seems like the YMCA with its superb location in the city could have a weekly, biweekly, or monthly lecture series focusing on topics of interest to its members. There's is so much that can be done with this centerpiece that would benefit not only its members, but the larger organization itself.

Affordability, clean, ample equipment, knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Like all the fitness classes particularly hi-low. I do get overheated in the class and have to stop and walk over to a fan to cool down. Would like to see fans at higher speed. Would be willing to make a donation toward one ceiling fan if any time in the future you plan on putting multiple ones on the ceiling.

Warm water fitness
