So many things for all ages to do there!
Staff are so kind!
Diversity in the members, very important!!!
Because of the programs that they to offer for the whole family.
Like the gym but wish it opened at 5am like the downtown Y
It’s like going to a family reunion every time you walk thru the doors. People look forward to working out because they hv friends with them working out.
wonderful pool & steam room!
Lots of class options, really nice cardio and weight rooms, free swim area. Many of the class instructors are real pros. I wish you were open til 9.
Everyone is very friendly and supportive there. They greet you by your name when you scan your ID and make you feel really welcome. I use the exercise equipment upstairs and I have asked for help in using new equipment and the staff is always very accommodating and eager to help. Also, the place is pretty spotless, and the equipment is appears to be very well-maintained. Love it there!
I like how friendly and warm the staff are and the aquatics center is amazing :)
Youth sports offerings and pool
There's so much one can do there, from sitting down in classes on lots of things, to running one's self ragged on a treadmill. All parts of a human physique can be brought into 'play' to help staying in shape...and the staff there can assist/guide if asked.
And it's not to far from where I live...
A great place for the kids, great staff very hands on. Wonderful activities and much to keep them busy. Wonderful outside activities as well.
It’s normally clean and orderly.

Great staff and atmosphere. Clean workout areas with great equipment and staff support.
Great YMCA location. Too bad we moved to the other side of town!
My husband and I take classes in the art department! We love Pualani’s classes. The groups are fun, no matter which group we have been in. Everyone in that department is friendly, helpful and eager to help with any questions!
After traveling this summer and visiting different YMCAs along the way, we can say that the Hal Welsh East Area Family YMCA is special. Great programming for our kids, equipment that is up-to-date and well-maintained, and a staff that is helpful and pleasant (even at six o'clock in the morning!).
The staff is pleasant.
Courses offered, the sense of community with other seniors.
Love the facilities and programs
