i am excited about egym

We all love Whittaker Pickleball! Reception staff is outstanding, particularly Ron.

A great facility, a great organization, and a great staff!! 5-stars.

Have great facilities and clean and neat

The Pool for lap swimming. Also the Hot tub is really nice. The dry heat room is way too small for use, though, always full.

They make me healthy.

We love the track, weights and especially the new Egym.

The space upstairs in the weight area, the functional training area, the pool, and the amenities

I have not used any.

The variety, something for everyone

Family friendly, clean facilities, great programming options.

I was closer to the Beaumont (Gatton) YMCA so decided to do my walk, hotter, shower there. The Whitaker YMCA is so much cleaner, has a bigger locker room, a bigger shower, and a bigger hottub! I will drive the extra 5 miles or sonnet time, every time to the Whitaker YMCA! Thank you for making it a great place.

The facility is always clean and the staff very friendly and knowledgeable.

I truly enjoy the facility because of its space and the various programs offered. I particularly like the pool as its not as strenuous as lifting weights or playing ball as you get older.
And as I get older, its more important; to me, to be active, weight lifting occasionally but overall fitness is the goal; not trying to get big but staying fit.
I think the many programs you have; for all ages is a strong asset to the community. To that point, I have purchased a membership for my daughter and granddaughter for them to enjoy and realize the importance of staying fit, and making this a life-long commitment.
For that, I say thank you!

equipment

I only use the walking track. I love to look out the windows! I should use some equipment and I might.

Variety. Hours are convenient. I really like the Egym

Our local Whitaker Family Y at Hamburg now has the E-GYM program which is truly superb in support of General Physical Fitness particularly for those a bit older defined by me as 50 years old and beyond. I am 78! This program consists of eleven exercise machines which self-adjust over time and can be done by the participant alone as one moves from one machine to another over a time period of about 20 minutes. I do three cycles which takes me about an hour each time I go to the Y on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Of course, the number of days and cycles are optional to the participant. Importantly, this program compares chronological age (78 for me presently) with biological age (65 for me presently). It also gives an overall strength age after measuring upper body, mid-section, and leg strength and computes an overall strength age which for me right now is 53 years compared with my chronological age of 78 years. I don't share this information because of ego, but so that the reader can be better informed about this remarkable program. Clearly, for the participant, this is good to know information and can inspire improvement over time.

Great facility, great employees and can't beat Silver Sneakers program, FREE!!!! Love the place!!

Walking track and silver sneakers classes

Always a clean atmosphere with great workers ready to help when we have problems. Great instructors and classes available for all ages.
I love the senior activities and the reformer. Just wish we could do an automatic draw and not have to sign up each time.

Wide variety

freedom to taylor my workout to meet my needs

Pleasant atmosphere 😊

The track and exercise room.

The variety of classes and times

I love them! And though I do like the energy of the classes with music and think it’s important, on the Thursday the 6th, I was in a 9am yoga class and the music and instructors mic in the room next door were so loud that I couldn’t hear the yoga instructor. Is there maybe a max volume that you could ask for in the classes with a neighboring yoga class?

Outstanding fitness classes and instructors! Excellent equipment!

The YMCA offers a variety of classes, Equipment, and programs. The instructors are extremely seasoned, skilled, fun, and motivational. The staff are knowledgeable and extremely kind. The community is blessed to have the YMCA. Having played basketball and swimming at a YMCA on Sundays after church with my father for many years when I was little, plus working at the YMCA in five different states for 25 years makes me know just how special the YMCA is. Thank you for all you do.
