Member Testimonials
Friendly staff, beautiful facility at A.E. Finley
Friendly people
Clean facility. Friendly staff. Not crowded.
I have been a member for decades and although I am now nearing age 80 I still swim weekly and enjoy interacting with old friends at the Y. Thanks for all your professional and helpful assistance over the years!
Friendliness of people and staff. THE COFFEE MACHINE, this brings people together. 
Only gripe is the machines are too close together and I can't maneuver to get to other equipment. Not handicap friendly.
Family centered, clean facilities
I love the classes and recommend the YMCA to a friend today!
everyone is friendly
Nice sign up process.
The friendly staff and this ymca has everything
The variety and number of THRIVE classes and the excellent teachers!
Beautiful facility love the group class options everyday.
We joined the Finley Y in January of this year. We have both been very pleased with our experiences at the Y. The staff are always so very friendly and helpful. We appreciate the cleanliness and atmosphere at "our" Y.
The instructors for any classes we engage in are terrific.
Yes, there have been some facility issues this year, but I believe these are unavoidable with any facility that is being used by so very many folks, for so very many activities. Management addresses these problems as promptly as possible.
Thank you for all you do to promote such a wonderful community atmosphere at the Finley Y.

I love the structured classes.  It also brings me great joy to workout to music with instructors who engage with their attendees.  In addition, seeing familiar faces help with my social interaction since I work from home.
It would be even better if I took the extra time to enjoy the facilities of the steam and sauna rooms.
One note to mention is that, FEW instructors do not take the time to acknowledge new students.  They need to do so and in classes where weights are included, they need to give some kind of guidance.  If you are brand new, you have absolutely no idea where to start.. this is where instructors come in.
I would also like to get a tour of the weight room and know how to properly use the machines.  Maybe a tour once a month offered at different times?
i like that the kidszone opens at 4pm which allows families enough time to come in to the y before dinner. will you go back to opening on friday evenings?
It's a gym where I feel welcome and comfortable. Have been to many others where the environment is too rigid. Great staff, awesome instructors - in class, doesn't matter what kind of day I'm having, as long as I bring my best I have fun!
Wonderful staff
Good fitness classes with top notch instructors
Programs, people, purpose, and professionalism make the AE Finley YMCA a perfect place to go everyday for a lift of mind, body, spirit.
Staff is friendly and welcoming.
There is energy and a sense of community.
Every person we’ve encountered has been incredibly professional - my child does summer camp, youth sports and swimming. He is continually coming in contact with great role models. They know him and greet him by name (the summer counselor who’s now a soccer referee, for example). I also really appreciate the Y’s mission. Every time I use the gym or pool myself it’s always clean and tidy and employees are helpful.
Love AE Finley!
I love it. Thank you all so much. The kid zone there has honestly helped my daughter grow in a way that is genuinely previous to me and my family.
The staff, always helpful and always friendly. The number of machines and the availability of machines.
Because they listen to members. When I requested PIYO - it was added to schedule
I love the variety of free weight options in the gym! My husband is a Marine who trains hard and lifts heavy, and this has been a deal breaker in many a gym (weights only going up to 55lbs). We appreciate the pool as well, as my husband is able to train for his physical requirement tests without leaving his regular gym.
Close to home. Love Chair Yoga and the person who is the leader.
everything
Love the water fitness classes. I live in flowers plantation and our pool was gifted to the YMCA by Becky Flowers.. our indoor pool which was small was filled in and floor put down.. group classes are now there. During the cold season I travel to A E Finley and don’t mind the 30-40 minute drive to attend the classes.
