Aquafit and chair yoga
I like the aquafit, water walk and especially the aqua dance. The instructors are great and make it fun.
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Well trained instructors who make it fun to participate. Clean facility and kept in good repair.
The activities are age appropriate and the instructors really read the audience
Ymca Petrolia is a wonderful place to attend great Programs Fantastic staff and a family atmosphere to attend.
I’m going thru rehab from accident and very grateful there is this facility in our town.
I loved the aquatic light program. The instructor was excellent and made it fun. I am having troubles with hip arthritis and I am waiting for an assessment for hip replacement but in the meantime I need to strengthen my muscles and increase my mobility. This is the perfect program for me. I could really feel it after the first class but can't wait for tomorrow's class to go at it again. Thanks for this great program. S. Last name removed
I like the variety of activities offered consistently throughout the day. This meets the needs of busy schedules and various interests.
Activities are fun for the kids, my daughter lives her swimming lessons, and she likes her teachers, she mentioned that the teachers really care about them.
great staff.
I have joined for the year as I know I will find much to be if it from . The building is kept spotless plus all the staff I have encountered are knowledgeable and very friendly. There seems to be great attention to what the people need that are attending.
I have recently moved here and just joined the Y ( I was a member of Oakville Y when I lived there plus joined the Burlington Y when I moved there now I am trying the different classes and programs here in Petrolia. It is walking close and I will use the lane swim at the pool a lot (excellent safe exercise for older Seniors) Yoga is my personal favourite ( I do a personal time each morning) so I am trying the classes but disappointed to see such short classes. A full yoga class requires 90 minutes. One of those each week would be nice. Also will try all the Aquafit to find one that features using the deep water more.
There is a variety of programs to utilize, and it is quite reasonably priced. Wish the pool was bigger
I like the wellness centre
The YMCA in Petrolia is awesome because their programs really feel like they’re made for everyone in the community. They’ve got something for parent and tot, kids, adults, youth, and seniors, and the best part is that everything is designed with each age group in mind.
What I really like is the flexibility in their schedule. There’s always something different going on every day, and you can choose a time that fits your day perfectly. Whether you’re busy with work or managing a family, it’s super easy to find a class or activity that works for you.
Adult swimming
It has everything I could need in a gym with friendly helpful staff, but it's very expensive that's why it doesn't get a 10. It's disappointing I have to pay for everything that I'm not planning on using to have pool access.
My kids love the summer camp at petrolia YMCA. We feel like it's a safe and fun place to send our kids.
The staff are always friendly and helpful.
