Member Testimonials

I don't use programs and activities

I love the clean, friendly environment and the wonderful instructors and trainers. The desk personnel have been so helpful and welcoming too. So thankful to have this facility to meet friends and improve my health.

Varied times and locations for all ages and great coaches

I have only used the pool but enjoy swimming there. I also enjoy Whit Whittaker’s aqua fitness classes. He is an excellent instructor!

The e-gym is a fantastic program. I would like to see some signage (or better orientation) for newcomers. People sometimes stay at a station if they don't get started on time, causing disruption to the flow and forcing everyone behind them to jump around on the machines. The training staff is doing a really good job staying in the allotted machine cycle when getting someone onboarded.

The Y seems to have stepped up its game with the new management and customer friendly staff. It is greatly appreciated!

Staff don’t discriminate against people with disabilities.

Very good infrastructure, convinent program schedules, very good instructors and friendly staff.

variety

Lots of activities available.

Great workout machines

I like the many different types of classes offered and particularly like the EGym for strength training

The Pilates Reformer program at Whitaker Y is such a wonderful offering. Pam and Colleen are excellent instructors who take the time to explain and make certain that participants are doing the exercises properly and assure that they get maximum benefit.

I enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the Y. Front desk is always friendly and helpful and the Y is nicely maintained.

Water aerobics

I only use the pool

I like the feeling of community in the fitness classes. I enjoy all of the instructors.

Large variety and people that work there are friendly and helpful.

I love the atmosphere when I walk in. Everyone who works there is very friendly but professional.

Thank you for keeping the women's dressing room a little warmer. That makes it easier to change into my bathing suit. I love your pool and I love swimming in it. I swim laps at a leisurely pace. And I love to hear the children playing in the other side of the pool.

I wish the people at the front desk would tell me when I click in that the pool is closed. Several times I have put on my bathing suit, only to find out the pool is closed (recently closed by the inspector and awhile back closed for yearly update. I know I should check the website.

Many thanks!!!

Friendly

I like the cleanliness the variety the quality equipment the physical space and area. I do not like the limited night time yoga classes or that swimming lessons do not make up for pool closures due to chemical imbalances and weather.

Velma Johnson is an excellent, driven, kind Aqua Fitness teacher. I travel to the different locations to attend her classes. She is selfless to the point of risking her standing to make the class better for students. We clearly needed more room to spread out to get a good workout. She asked for the rope to be moved with pushback from lifeguards who made faces and were not professional. The guards at North take care of the ropes before and after class and are pleasant and professional. Velma and us students had to roll up the ropes. Also, the equipment is worn and needs some updating.
