Member Testimonials
I like the wide varities of people I see using the facility
I really love the variety of programs offered, and the times during the day. Something for those of us no longer working, and plenty for the younger set who come to the Y after work.
Great environment and staff.
There is something for all ages and groups.
friendly people
Group aquatics classes are varied in content for various needs and the instructors are terrific. The Y could do a better job of making the aquatics class schedule easier to find and more accurate online. The color coded schedule is easiest to read and tends to be more accurate.
1. For me, #1 is Pickleball. Not only is it a great exercise for agility, reaction speed, and aerobic
movement. Of equal importance, the players are very nice, completely in harmony; further,
they are very accepting and supportive of anyone who wishes to join the group. It's a unique
band of people who are well-bonded.
2. I found that Zumba with Danielle was a great class. However, now, I wrenched my knee and
Zumba is out of my schedule for a while.
3. It's great to have informed and cheerful instructors, such as Emily, Shaunda, and Claire.
They know their business and are an asset to the Fort Ben YMCA.
4. I'd like to see an afternoon or evening Tai-Chi class. I believe that would be a great addition
to the program. Further, that might be an attraction to bring in more new Y members.
Those are my thoughts for now. First name removed
The friendly caring and knowledgeable staff. The community.
The staff at Benjamin Harrison Y are phenomenal.
I appreciate all your activities and programs that you provide us members. I especially utilize the swimming programs and activities as well as the lap pool. I do have concerns about the leadership provided for the aquatics program. Specifically with Ali gone we are back to no directive from Emma the apparent head of the scheduling and programming.
I continue to value and appreciate Cody's leadership and the full-time guards that have remained diligent throughout the summer and into the rest of the seasons. It is very discouraging to have someone who is unprofessional, not invested in community service and the people skills necessary to run the aquatics program with the versatile age groups we have spending time and money in this specific program.
A very special place with friendly staff.
Wonderful! Everyone is so positive and upbeat!
