Friendly staff
Great variety of class programs that I like and am enjoying. I should have became a member of the YMCA long before February, 2026.
Very clean building on the inside.
You off a great variety.
I enjoy swimming, glad to have the pool so close by. I attended boomers with a friend for the first time. We both very much enjoyed boomers.
Always friendly instructors
Lots of equipment for beginners to advanced lifting.
I have a long history with the Petrolia YMCA. As a member of the founding committee, it has proven to be a great asset to our town.It is flourishing and helps attract new and young people to our community. I never envisioned how proud i would be seeing my 5 year old grand daughter swimming in the pool with me, she doesn’t want to get out.
I love the cleanliness! It is so important to have a clean pool and shower area. Although I would like to have lane swim times extending a little later into the morning, it is still worth the drive from Sarnia
I like all the machines in the weigh room. Enjoy doing my own exercise without being on a schedule. The meals on Thursdays are great and programs after are enjoyable to listen to.
A great variety of times and activities
I liked your Aquafit program, although the senior pricing could be a little lower. Great gym facilities also!
I partake in senior exercise programs and find them very useful.
The staff at the Y are incredibly kind and professional. Our favorite part is the Nursing and Little Rascals program on Wednesdays and Fridays it has been such a valuable resource for our community. For families in the surrounding area, it’s an amazing, safe place to spend time. I love knowing I can work out with peace of mind while my child is well cared for.
Have only tried water aerobics and loved it. Great music and instructions.
Staff and facility
A variety of programs for all ages. Great instructors that care and are positive.
Pickle Ball
I attend aquafit. The ladies are nice. The instructors are great! The therapy pool is usually at 92F which is helpful.
Close to home
I mostly just come to swim lanes but I really appreciate the staff and enjoy seeing the vibrant community bustle of activities going on all around. I like that the pool area is set up to accommodate different users, with aqua therapy and young families with babies through kids often in the warm shallow pool, and length swimmers and various aqua fitness in the bigger pool. My son enjoys his swimming lessons and I can even get my husband out sometimes :)
Great place for family fun.
Having come from a much larger YMCA I am very surprised by the number of fitness classes that are geared to my age group. I find the facility clean and the staff very friendly. I am loving the Boomers program, the information portion is always very interesting.
Aqua, aqua, aqua!
It’s the staff that r so great and approachable!!
Pool theraphy
I really like your ymca, love the water temperature in the pool. Pickleball is what I like to play, although it is not ok that your local group plays to only 7 and they don't win by 2 points. Essentially playing by their own rules. As this is open play I think all players should have input not just those who routinely play in Petrolia. I spoke with the group and they would not budge on this subject. So not sure I'll be back and probably not welcomed with my thoughts on their rules.
Clean and well maintained facilities. Great hours of operation.
The design of the facility is perfect for integrating a class into your workout floor routine. It was great to see a nice class size for Cycle. I will be back for this class, as I may loose the morning spin classes due to low numbers at my home branch.
I like that the schedule is kept fairly consistent so I know how to set up my schedule at home without having to change it too often.
Timing of the classes - early but not too early
No signing up ahead of time
Instructors do a good job
