Member Testimonials
Swimming and the gym
I love the classes at the Y - one thing I find annoying is I get there early and there are stations set up for members that are not there yet ( which is nice ) but for those of us that come early or on time have to place ourselves around them .
I love coming to the Y and have a great experience each time! The only suggestions I have are:
1. More hours for the kid zone in the summer - specifically the lunch time hours :)
2. Work out classes - love the classes but I would LOVE if there were options for a full weekly plan like for example: Monday (lower body) Tuesday (upper body) wed (core/cardio) Thursday (lower body) Friday (upper body). In the past I remember there being lower body and upper body but they would be in different weeks.
The staff is always pleasant and friendly, the instructors are fantastic, classes are challenging but fun, and the equipment is well maintained and clean.
Parking lot was quite crowded at 10 am.
Fitness instructors have always been great. Low turnover.
Opportunities for children through day camps, leadership training, sports leagues.
Love A.E. Finley. I love the variety of classes. I wish there were more pickleball/yoga aligning schedules because my husband likes to play pickleball while I do yoga. I love that there are multiple classes available and the yoga instructors are wonderful. I also love the pools both indoor and outdoor!
It is convenient to where I live. It offers spin classes at times during weekdays mid morning. It has lockers where I can lock up my clothes/wallet and other personal valuables while I spin. I can usually find a parking space during the week.

Bright environment, friendly people at the front desk, good class and instructor.
Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I like the variety of classes offered.
Our whole family enjoys the Finley Y for swimming, basketball and working out. It’s a great place to spend time with friends too. My teenage son has recruited several friends to join and loves to have a place to meet after school for a basketball game, or swim, or both.
Socialization, support from other members, community feeling
Pools, women's locker room and water aerobics class.
Need more lap lanes for adult swimmers. Today there were only 4 lap lanes available due to camp and water aerobics.
I really like that you open at 5:00am. I really like the towels. I really like the child care. Thank you!
My family has been members since 2003 and we love everything about the Y!
There are a lot of different classes during the day for different levels of skills. The equipment in the gym is laid out well and easy to use.
Clean
So many classes are offered at all times of the day. Everyone--staff and other members--are so friendly.
Great classes and instructors. Very challenging
I love the Y vibe, great energy! I have plenty of class choices to fit my schedule, love the instructors, their expertise and knowledge of the body, etc. it’s also close to my home which further fosters my attendance. So
The YKerr is closet to my home, so I usually work out there. Yet, no matter how long a period of time between visits to Finley, the long term staff always remember my name! This recognition begins right when I walk through the entrance to check-in. How can one not feel good about that?
Variety of classes - heated outdoor pool- excellent cycle instructors- Rosemary Kauffmann and Jay Chambers
Variety of classes. Love how the yoga program is growing! New teachers offer more challenging poses if you're up for it.
Variety of yoga classes for seniors at convenient (for me) times, i.e. late morning to early afternoon.
access to fitness equipment and friendly staff.
Everyone at the Finley Y is so friendly and considerate! I immediately feel welcome and valued every time I walk in. Joining was an easy process, well explained, and the tour was comprehensive. Lots of opportunities to focus on your health, meet great people, and be part of the community!
Staff is always very friendly and helpful. Several know me by name.
I enjoy the classes and the instructors. I believe the membership is a bargain given all that is available to members.
Great classes!
