Member Testimonials
I like the facility, the instructors, and the variety of class options. Great experience!
The fitness classes offered at the A.E. Finley YMCA are excellent and what truly sets this branch apart from other locations are the incredible instructors and friendly staff. The Finley Y is more than just a gym, it is an opportunity to meet wonderful people and feel like part of the community. I’ve enjoyed being a member for 25 years and greatly appreciate everything Finley has to offer!

I love the class selection and how friendly everyone is!
I love the YMCA, it’s a great facility. I wish though that we had 1 more seated upright stationary bench at the gym as having to all share 1 among everyone at the gym is kind of difficult. Other than that all is well.

The mission, the staff, the members and the values.
