Member Testimonials
The facility is clean and organized. Staff is helpful and responsive. Events are well organized and instructional.
Based off of what I’ve seen so far the basketball clinic that I do volunteer work for really is good at teaching kids and young adults how to play basketball whether it’s learning to Dribble, shoot, and work as a team
A good variety of programs/activities for all ages.
I like the variety of activities available. I especially love the Senior Fitness class with Larry. He runs the class really well and is so encouraging to all the participants. Also, E-Gym has had a great impact on my increased muscle strength and tone.
I like that you are offering a wide range of classes and opportunities that fits everyone level. I love the egym really helped me be more confident at doing strength workouts. Not all the worker at the desk are welcoming but lately they have been! Love the kids club the child care employees are saints! The rec swim is great, it can get busy. There is a nudity problem on the women side. Older women just walk/shower naked in common areas, sometimes using the family changing area.
The staff is very good.
I like having access to trainers and folks that can help me out in the gym. The sauna is awesome.
good staff and great new machines.
All inclusive, vary levels of intensity, easy to understand instructors, friendly desk people always greet you by name
I like the variety of the group exercise program as well as the availability of getting a spot in class. In particular, the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this place.
Things with the pool ,like suna being closed for
2 months. No onr knows when it well be fixed
The new weight training equipment, which was installed in December, 2025, is excellent!
Love the whom and body pump with sue
Lots of variation. A very popular exercise class for seniors. Probably could use more of this. The eGym because once you're in the circuit you don't have to stand and wait for others. Hours are good.
I like the indoor pool -- that's why I'm a member.
I don't use any, so I've got no comment.
I love logging into the doing my thing.
And fans are working in the room were I was placed.
There’s a warm welcoming. The place is clean and equipment selection are great
Teachers
The staff is amazing
I just participate in your water aerobics program. I like the Thursday and Friday teachers very much but no longer attend Mon-Wed because Carol teaches from inside the pool. No one can see her or hear her. I wish you could get Carol to teach from the deck like the other teachers. Thanks.
Love the EGYM program!
senior friendly.
The only program I participate in is the Parkinson's exercise class. I like it because the instructor is warm, supportive, and keeps things moving--enough to give you a real workout. There are also two brief breaks in the class which allow for a chance to meet other participants. The class feels like a small community.
I like your classes, the e-gym, and the pool.
The variety of classes and the hours available. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean facility and ability to use any "Y"
Good gym equipment. I don't do any of the programs.
The best community based place into overall wellness for all ages!
1 best aquatic facilities in the SC network.
2. of these, the warm water rec pool is essential.
I am 75, somewhat athletic and an ardent pickleball player. Everyone my age deals with maintenance and body repair issues — arthritis, joint replacements, potential depression/isolation, and often a sudden, terrifying medical dx. Every physical procedure I’ve had — knee replacements, cataract surgery, etc. — requires mind-bending and often soul-destroying patience, I.e., isolation and depression. The rec pool in particular is how I make it back to the court and competitive play as well as dealing with chronic arthritis pain and pain-related insomnia — an evening swim, lap swim to build up endurance, deep water and rec pool aerobics to build strength. At the PA Y, in the pool and on the pb court, I find those essential role models for smart aging. In the first two years I moved here and started playing pickleball regularly, I reversed osteopenia. This almost NEVER happens. (I had triple check the DEXA scan results.) During the 3 1/3 years I’ve been here, I’ve undergone the usual olde personne body fixes and had one shocking and scaring medical dx (fine now). My fallback, always, was the aquatic complex and the pickleball court. (I started pb at PA.). Part of the reassurance is having a full range of classes — trx, yoga, Les Mills, etc. for the road forward and a network of clubs. For seniors and particularly senior women. this range of options equates with survival. Special shout-out to Chris, Simon and your lifeguards, to Carol and Heather. I see and appreciate the new stability brought about by Laura, new exec director, the clarity and communication skills of Chris, head of the aquatic facility. Your front desk Guy w Beard once said a kind word when I was straggling in, just beat down from weeks of recovery from {}#*!
cataract surgeries: I couldn’t swim, but I could walk the water. It made my day. Now I’m 100%.

Family friendly
