Member Testimonials
The yoga classes are excellent. The teachers are friendly and always give alternative poses to do if a person has limitations.
The programs and activities are aimed at helping and encouraging fitness and wellbeing! I would recommend this YMCA to anyone.
The variety and times
The Y programs are top quality & always consistent. They provide members with the possibility of a healthy lifestyle & lots of socializing.
I do just gym exercises. But like the Y.
Everything except parking
Need more space
Just the best place for kids
Good variety of classes for all levels
Casual vibe
Variety of group activities.
Space to relax n meet n socialize.
The classes that is offered.
However, I was unhappy when some classes were deleted because the "snow birds " were leaving and the summer camp program
I LOVE non-judgemental welcoming atmosphere of the Y (especially the City Y on Euclid!). The employees are friendly and helpful, and the patrons feel more like an extended family than hard-core athletes. There ARE amazingly fit and dedicated people, but also people with challenges from assisted walking (me!), older patrons, people with more body weight, people recovering from orthopedic surgery - all welcome and supported.
There is everything I could want to do.
Pickle ball is my favorite!
I only use the machines and free weights
Other than being hard to get into classes sometimes, it’s great! It’s like home for me! I really like the weight classes. The instructors are fun and lively. (Sometimes the music is very loud)
I love the pickle ball people! I’ve made some great friends there.
Friendly front desk, members are polite and orderly, parking is convenient, staff is repectfu of the elderly members.
Daycare while I workout is the best.
Also- Doreen’s bootcamp class is the best group exercise I have ever taken.
Staff is wonderful and the coaches are great.

You offer so many different activities for the senior citizens as well as the younger citizens! I have recommended the YMCA to several of my neighbors and friends!! I have met more lovely people at the YMCA that I enjoy so very much for my exercises and it makes three times a week a delight, even though I’m tired when I get home!
You have managed a marvelous staff, whether they want to join a program or do it on their own, which I have done both! With the older years approaching me, I must tell you I thoroughly enjoy coming to the Y3 times a week! It’s excellent
The offering of activities is immense. There is something for everyone.
However, your website is not very user friendly and difficult to navigate.
The classes
The wide variety of group exercise classes
The classes as well as the teachers. The social environment.

Variety, quality of instruction, coffee
The Potter Park YMCA is an excellent place to work out and socialize! I come most every day!
The employees are very helpful and positive and courteous. Even when a patron is being untruly. I try to show respect and tell the employee not to worry about it.
Silver sneakers type classes are excellent, both instructors are the best
Love the class choices and variety of everything.

I am employed but cannot make it to the afternoon classes. Any chance on moving classes to start at 5:45?
