Member Testimonials
I use the workout machines only at this time
I like the diversity of programs. I have more confidence and thriving with the Aqua programs. My only hope is that more classes will be offered. However, I understand that staffing is difficult and attend what I can.
That the staff that do the classes are very nice and caring. I like the water aerobics.
You can go when you want to
I love the friendly staff. I also love the free classes included w our membership. I just prefer the wellness center to stretch before work.
Our lifeguards, swim instructors, and water aerobics are always so nice.
Not overly crowded
Geared toward retired people during day
I love the people doing the classes. They make it fun and all the people are so nice. The programs give a good work out without overworking.

I like how the front desk director encourages me to work hard and get out of my comfort zone.
My primary interest is the lap pool, which I use 2-3 times a week. It's been a challenge for me to complete the 100 miles I committed to because of being out of town for several months and the intermittent closing of the pool for maintenance. However, I think it is still possible to complete the goal in the time remaining and if nothing unexpected happens. During this year, I have had the opportunity to swim at a YMCA in Grants Pass, Oregon, and more recently at the Frankfort Y. Neither were as nice as the Witham Family YMCA, and I'm glad to be back home again...
I expect that COVID and the ongoing inflation concerns have hit the Y's hard, both from reduced membership and from higher expenses. The Witham Family YMCA is a tremendous asset for the community of Lebanon, and I sincerely hope that the community will support it. Moreover, its underlying commitment to being faithful to its purpose is even more important in these difficult times. Thank you.

I participate in the water aerobics and I really enjoy it!
Friendly staff. Good variety of programs available. Clean facility.
There are a variety of opportunities.
We like the variety of programs available during the daytime. As seniors, the morning activities best fit our time preferences. Consistency in presenting and coordinating classes would help. Other activities that could improve senior health, such as diabetes prevention, nutrition, mobility and balance retention.
I am enjoying the new Aqua classes. It would be nice when the class is to be in the therapy pool that they would be able to cover it. It wouldn't be so bad if the lap pool would be the correct degree. There lots of times when it is cooler
It just keeps me going!
I like the improved aqua aerobic classes. Kim N's Aqua Challenge is amazing! I only wish she taught it 3 times a week instead of one.
I am disappointed there are no aqua classes on Fridays anymore. I realize that staff shortages may be the reason but you really need to work on this issue. Many of us want a swim class MWF and that is not possible anymore. :(
The variety
There’s something for everyone at all fitness levels.
The staff are very nice and helpful! The pool areas are always clean and the walkways are clear. I’m a older adult and our water class times and dates have been changed and classes have been altered, that I’m worried that it will be more intensive than I can physically keep up with. I’m going to try and be positive, and attend some of the classes now offered, and hopefully I’ll feel encouraged to continue to attend the water aerobics in the therapy pool. I also like having an instructor for our classes, but I don’t mind an occasional video due to staffing shortages. Finally, I want to say that I think older adults…ie 65 years old and up, really need these warm water classes for increasing strength, rehabilitation, and maintaining their level of functioning. Thank you YMCA!!!!!
