Member Testimonials
It’s a great community meeting place.
Friendly staff from instructors down to maintenance people.
I think I answered this, I only participate in water exercises. I love them and find my balance and strength have improved.
To help people with their health. Strong community support and interaction.
Best workout facility in EAU CLAIRE!!!
Excellent instructors, flexible schedules, clean locker rooms, friendly and helpful staff, programs that offer variety for all age groups, insurance discounts for seniors and/or free entry with silver sneakers, free locks for lockers, steam room and sauna, and overall great locations.

Eclypse and Yoshi brought joy, structure and learning to our parent/child 2 and preschool 2 swimmers. We had a blast and the kids' confidence in their skills as well as their excitement for swimming keeps us coming back. My ONLY issue is that when the kids gym is closed at 7pm, I struggle to take my 2 year old to the 6:30 class because we can't fully participate or can't go because I don't have childcare past 7 for my 4 year old. Will definitely try to get into an earlier class next cycle, but that did affect our participation for a few sessions.
Thank you for all you do!
I enjoy swimming laps in the pool,and working out on the treadmills and elliptical machines. Also get good benefits from yoga class. Lots of variety available at the Y to work on you fitness... physical and mental.
I absolutely love the water aerobics. However, I have had several ablations (a procedure for back pain) after I love going into the hot tub for the pain in my back. However, half the time it is closed for cleaning and filling. This has caused me to check out other places with the same features as the YMCA.
So far I will stay where I am, but if the hot tub continues to be unavailable to us, I will be forced to change locations. Several people have medical issues that need the hot tub after their workout.
I hope this one situation can be dealt with, I do love the downtown YMCA.
Annie that taught preschool level one on Mondays at 515 was great. My kid finally put his face in the water some with her👍 and eclipse that chilled in fire her in the final week did awesome. Especially coming in the last week not knowing and if the kids. she was very interactive with them:)
water aerobic classes are the best!
I love that you have several days and several time options for each level. It makes it so much easier to be able to attend!
We love Laurie who leads Strength, Balance, and Flexibility.
The instructors
I lap swim. That is where Tri-lap/masters swim meets. It works.
The facility is clean, the people are friendly.
Swimming instructors very good and kids like the small pool
Instructors were very helpful and taught valuable lessons.
Loved how parent and child 2 class was on its own this session instead of being combined with parent/child 1. I feel like they were able to work on more advanced skills getting ready for preschool class.
I loved how active my daughter was at the day camp this summer! She really enjoyed the program and we will definitely be signing up again next summer!!
Everything
The kids really enjoy all the different activities including time in the gym, pool, park as well as field trips! The staff/teachers have been great!!
My kids love getting to swim, see friends, and go on fieldtrips. And I love that they are entertained and educated during the summer!
It's the only place in town with a track that I can use when the weather is bad.
YMCA is excellent in meeting the needs of all ages in there programs and activities.
I love everyone who works at the Y...all such kind, lovely, helpful people.
Strength balance and flexibility class.
There is something for everyone! Thegroup exercise class I go to is filled with such a diverse group of participants. It's such a great community!
I enjoy the consistency of the water dance, aerobics and joint efforts classes along with the instructor. The daily use of the spa after the morning pool exercises. I also love the drop off nursery.

The wonderful water class leaders.
