Member Testimonials
The classes, equipments, staff and hours are all excellent. Love it!
I love the class options, and variety of offerings everyday. As a busy parent, the current group class schedule gives me good options to get a workout in around their school schedule.
Positive experiences, nice facilities, good instructors
The facilities are very well maintained and always kept clean. From the moment you walk in, the front desk staff stands out for being friendly, welcoming, and helpful.
The gym is very well organized, with a great layout, good equipment, and excellent instructors, making it a very comfortable and pleasant place to work out.
I would also like to highlight the people who come to the gym. Overall, there is a strong sense of respect, courtesy, and camaraderie among everyone. There is a noticeable consistency between the atmosphere, the staff, and the people who use the facilities. I also feel that the positive attitude of the members reflects the great example set by the front desk team through their kindness, respect, and willingness to help.
Overall, it is a very pleasant, well-organized, and welcoming place with a genuine sense of community.
The customer service is really good and the security in place to ensure only authorized members can get into the facility. I like how you strive to keep things clean with so many folks going around sweating and stuff.
We love the family programs, fireworks festival, and facilities! The staff are kind and helpful. I wish the pool was a little warmer.
Christian organization.
Friendly, welcoming staff.
Strong leadership from Director
Excellent facilities, workout equipment, gym, etc.
Youth Sports program
All this + overall good atmosphere
The people are wonderful and kind. Love my Aqua Fitness Instructor on Wednesdays! The YMCA has been good for me. I was in a Prediabetic Program with the YMCA and Alliance Medical Ministry. I ran three half marathons and have maintained my weight. Alexander was my favorite but now it is A.E. Finley.
It really is a great value..
Good:
Exceptional leadership and team members
Sense of community with lots of opportunity to give back
Mostly Good:
Usually well run, occasionally things aren't working, but they try to communicate those proactively
Ugly:
I would like to see the water fountains in the indoor pool kept clean. I think they've been cleaned ONCE this year as an example. Not enticing to use them when they look filthy and prefer to use them given their location to fill water and energy bottles, rinse googles, etc.
Reasonable cost, great exercise choices and friendly staff.
We have visited multiple locations across the country and this is certainly one of the better ones.
Quick feedback on things that can be improved:
1) Reminding people of the need to wipe down the equipment, some of the people that work there are the worst offenders which sets a bad message
2) The check in process is a bit slow sometimes
3) There are too many people that are inconsiderate and hug machines for too long while on their phones. How about not allowing phones? That would be a great concept.
Facility is well-maintained & the staff is always helpful.
group fitness classes and seminars
I really like the Thrive classes.
Friendly staff! Clean facilities. Mostly up to date equipment. Effective hours of operation. Broad class offerings and times
The people
My daughter was well cared for and her counselors worked hard to understand her communication style and needs. We received a summary of her day since she's someone who cannot communicate that herself... And it was the best feeling, reading what she had done and how she felt about it... It also allowed us to have better conversations at home because I could ask her specific things about her day, that she might not have been able to verbalize by herself.
I also truly appreciate that she received a swim lesson each day because water safety is invaluable.
the Finley Y is a great facility, the staff and instructors are amazing, and the members create an encouraging environment.
I like the staff and the classes
Everything as amazing! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Rosemary’s core class was excellent!!
My son had an awesome time at the A.E Finley YMCA Camp. Every day he came home happy and tired. Loved all of the crafting, fun plan, and Talent presentations.
We have loved sending our son to YMCA Day CAMP at A.E. Finley. He always had a tough time with drop offs and everyone there made him feel safe and cared for. Will definitely recommend this camp to others as well as return next summer! Thank you guys!
My daughter comes home dirty, exhausted, and smiling.
The friendly counselors, the variety of activities and the way the camp was organized was appealing. We will be back next year!
I’ve had such a great experience at this YMCA! The facility is always clean, organized, and well-maintained, and there’s a great variety of equipment and spaces available. The staff is also incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about providing a great experience for members. I’m really happy I chose this YMCA and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, well-equipped facility with great staff!
Everything seems great! It’s our first summer, Mav is happy and dirty which means he’s likely loving it. Thanks to all the counselors.
The counselors kept my son entertained all day each day. He loved singing songs, dancing and all of the different activities!
Great variety of machines on the weight floor. The childcare is super helpful. Love the pool(s).
The locker rooms are very spacious, and the lockers are a very nice size. And everything works! I go to another YMCA branch where some faucets in the Women's locker room have not worked in years. I also like the space that is available for the workout machines. It seems well thought out, even though it is more intimate that some other YMCAs. I seem to get a better workout at Finley as well.
