The great staff, instructors, the class times, it’s very clean, I love the YMCA!
Lifeguards for the pool and both a lap and rec pool.
I like to use the lap pool or outdoor pool. I have been happy with hours that they have been open. Staff is attentive and friendly.
Your staff are incredible! From Sherry greeting at the front when I check in to Sonya leading Cardio dance, they are amazing! I always feel so welcomed and like I fit in. I really love the pool and my kids never want to leave! I actually have friends drive 20-25 minutes to come to the Fort Ben outdoor pool because they love it so much!
Availability
What I like about the YMCA’s programs and activities is the variety of choices that are available. Moreover, the participation of the staff in offering advice and assistance in customizing programs towards my goals is always offered with a smile and a great attitude!
Finally, the people that I’ve met who come to work out or participate in a class have been very friendly and welcoming!
Kind staff, clean environment, work out equipment in good working order.
The Gym is very clean, has many programs, classes, big spaces to work out, All staff is friendly all the time! And What I love most is so many choices of machines to work out on ! I LOVE IT!! U will not be disappointed! And secondly People come to work out and not sit on the machines with their phones, This is a big plus !!!.
I attend the water aerobics classes, and the instructors (April, Grace, Joyce, and the rest) are excellent! I've participated in water aerobics classes at two other facilities in the past 5+ years, and by far Fort Ben's program is the best. The rec pool is well maintained and ample room for everyone.
Plenty of variety of classes offered. Friendly staff at front desk. The personal trainers are kind and friendly, they are skilled and knowledgeable when teaching classes.
The water classes are the best

friendly staff
Great water exercise classes in the Rec pool during the summer. I'm unable to go outside in full sun, so I really appreciate your indoor pool, plus the staff and fellow participants are friendly.
April and Sue have routines and music that make their classes fun.
Love the classes that active older adults can do.
Personal trainer
cardio dance
Do mostly arthritis class. I need something for bone strength . I hear they have a class Ti Che and pump at the fisher Y. Need one here. Also my hat and a water bottle were given to the front desk. And when I went to get it it was nowhere to be seen
Activities for kids
When it is open, I enjoy swimming in the lap pool. But the web page that is supposed to list the times it is open is never accurate. I don't like using the lap lanes in the outdoor pool because there are always mostly kids, sometimes adults, just standing in the lap lanes, not swimming. The lifeguards need to tell people to get out of the lap lanes unless they are actually swimming laps, not just lounging in the water. Also, the swim trunk drying machine has been out of order all summer, and there is only one shower in the men's locker room with decent water pressure.
