Member Testimonials
I have enjoyed Aqua Aerobics, Adult Swimming lessons, Water walking and Y Thrive. All the instructors have been helpful, encouraging and friendly. All in all a great and fun experience.
The morning Aquafit and therapy pool following are my morning routine, that allow me to deal with chronic pain from osteo and rhuemiod arthritis.
The Petrolia Y staff are excellent. They really care about your health and well being.
Very well designed and implemented. They make us all fell equal and worthy of their time and attention.
My second life is at this facility. I go to Aquafit 3-4 times a week, with friends. I have been doing Step Class on Tuesdays ,and went to the Living Healthy and Active class that was offered, and benefitted immensely. I have had a new hip and new knee, this combination is the contination of ongoing phsio!
Getting healthy working out and playing pickle ball.
Friendly staff
Only use the exercise equipment
Good child mining hours!
I do the aquafit regularly with my Mom and Aunt. It’s a great class except the pools have been way too cold. Even for myself as a healthy young female. My aunt has a heart issue and it being so cold causes her to have palpitations
I just find it really comfy, comforting and relaxing when you go to work out and doing yoga and swimming is so nice and you meet so many nice people and everyone that works there is really nice
I like the pickelball availability in the fall and winter and wish it could be extended until school ends.
I also like the variety of classes. Staff are always friendly and helpful.
Lots of variety to choose from. Especially like classes geared to seniors. A wellness program was very beneficial.
Convenient swimming Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, yoga classes, staff are very welcoming.
They are a great work out.
Lots of kids programs---i wish there were more after 530pm
I'd love it if more adult classes were after 530pm
Lots of exercise to get you out of the house
Everything. Staff kindness, knowledge and always willing to help.
Love the gym
I like the lane swimming opportunities in late morning or afternoon.
Easy to access, meeting new people.
Great variety for seniors…something for everyone…
The staff are great, the programs are good, I like the facilities, in Petrolia could be bigger, a few extra weights (12.5 weights), or another bench/rack. Could use a stair climber :) Other than that doing a great job.
I like that the staff always greets you with a positive attitude. even if they are having a bad day.
Wish that the Open swims were more frequent so that those who work could take advantage more.
The programs are a good cross section for the general public and the many interests of the community that it serves.
What I like the most is that my kids are making friends they're happy at the Y and they're improving their skills in the activities they're taking
Easy access to the pool for me.
I've used your pool daily for 7 years. I'm very disappointed at the current time and I would not recommend it to anyone. We have a large senior population here that does not like your cold water. It's constantly gone down in temperature ever since the YMCA took over. The therapy pool was always 94 degrees. That's what makes it a therapy pool, not the ramp or seating ,it's the temperature. The main pool was always 84 degrees. Maybe to warm for Olympic hopefuls but for all us seniors and handicapped people, we liked it just fine. Currently the main pool is 80 and the new kiddie pool is 85 degrees. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful facility in a small town. I look forward to the day we can enjoy ourselves again in the water rather than just surviving. Other than that your programs and people are great. With the amount of seniors and walkers in this town, the only thing we're missing is an indoor walking track. We'll just pray for warm water for now.
