Member Testimonials

everyone is professional and cordial.

Great group classes

Friendly instructors. Good class selection.

The Whitaker Family YMCA is an excellent physical service place.

Love the E GYM
Friendly staff

Wish there were more spray bottles around to clean gym equipment

Adult oriented workout sessions.

I LIKE THE WALKING AREA AND i LIKE the swimming area.

Everyone is friendly. And the class instructors,
Do not push you. You go at your own pace. I'm just now getting back into the gym and I love it.

Love the childcare center. Facilities are top notch.

However, lane pool is a bit of a letdown.

Only 3 lanes, shallow end is extremely shallow (can’t flip turn or you’ll hit your head), and there are no indicator flags on one end (safety issue, so if you’re doing a back stroke you don’t know when to turn over).

Great pool area! Clean, modern facilities. Need dedicated pickleball area, though. E-gym always too crowded…maybe add another set? More beginner aerobic classes needed.

Functional fitness

variety of programs and times, # of machines

I have taken Pilates with Kara Best for the past year. She is amazing. Her patience and kindness are 2 of her best qualities. She explains the moves and helps everyone to become the best version of themselves. She is an asset to the Y and your Pilates program.

I like the cleanliness, weight machine options, bigger pool and hot tub

I really like the EGYM and all of the other modern equipment, I love the Whitaker gym. It is always clean, and the staff is always friendly.

The team that runs it and clean environment

I don’t live close enough to this ymca to visit often. But I like to go on the weekends rather than the Beaumont y, my home y, because it is more spacious and the weight machines are arranged in a way that makes it very way to circuit train.

Everything

The pool

sselaser.org likes Everything!

So many offerings for classes, great equipment, nice spaces, and so many amenities! All for a great price.

Love the pool area & group swim lessons for my child. Shaolin class has also been a hit. Great facilities & usually very clean!

I like the pool.

Wide range of classes, equipment. Clean facilities, cheerful staff

Very friendly to people, regardless of where they are on their fitness or well-being journey. I like the variety, too.

Pool water has been cold for 2 weeks.

Variety of classes and community.

Love the Monday, Wednesday, Friday fitness classes.
Like the circuit exercise, but have to teach people to start anywhere on the circuit, where there is an empty machine.

I enjoy the Silver Sneakers classes. I have taken a few regular classes and enjoyed them also. The instructors are nice and do a great job.
I also use the Egym and like the fact that I can get a workout in quickly.
I am 59 but take the Silver Sneakers classes due to health issues. I would like for the Y to offer some easier classes later in the day for people who are still working.

I haven't found a fitness class that I love yet. I am thrilled that BodyPump was added because Les Mills classes tend to be great. Please have the kids programs and swim lessons earlier in the day. 6:30 is way too late for a 3 year old.
