Member Testimonials
I was a REX member and the Wakefield location closed. I joined the Kerr YMCA and the transition has been welcoming. Every employee that my husband and I encountered were courteous and professional. The instructors are awesome and dedicated to ensuring that all participants get a meaningful workout.
The staff communicated very respectfully with me about my child’s struggles. They provided me with many different options to help my child, and I felt like they are committed to providing a positive camp experience for all children regardless of disability.
Builds character, provides opportunities to all kids, loving, technology free, fun/engaging experiences and games for kids during camp. Counselors are great and get to know your child.
The water classes for seniors.
Pool activities
Expert instructors. Nice facility. Kind team members. Close proximity to home.
My grandson didn’t like it the first day but from the second day on, he loved it. He’s having a great time.
Most everything. As a Christian group, I do feel it should stay neutral and. Not promote controversial things.
Very friendly staff and helpful.
Thrive classes
The staff is friendly and professional. I love the childcare option and the ladies who care for my daughter are so wonderful and loving! I enjoy the variety of classes offered and the easy app to use and register for classes. I enjoy the outdoor swimming pool and the sauna!
Vast variety of classes for all ages and level activities
The instructors are kind,knowledgeable and always have smiles on their faces.
You do need more swim classes for older attendees. Too many times I hear and have experienced not able to get into classes. Also the chair exercises are hard to get into.
All employees seem helpful and happy.
We have been incredibly impressed with our experience at the Kerr YMCA this summer. We had originally planned to do half the summer there and half somewhere else but after our experience we decided to stay all summer. My anxious kiddo has always struggled with camps and has been thrilled to go to the Y everyday this summer. The counselors have been so kind and done a wonderful job making sure that my son feels seen and safe. Specifically, the counselors of the caterpillars and bear claws! Coastline, Frizzle, Gum Ball…to name a few.. thank you for this experience.
While I wish that you had a hot tub-really there is nothing to criticize. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the facility is well run
The staff was amazing. My son was nervous to start and by this time, he’s made friends with every counselor and kid. They are so kind to him and always respectful to me. The activities have been wonderful and he looks forward to going every day.
Everyone is friendly. It is small enough to create a community but large enough to provide a wide range of activities.
Awesome classes. Especially water classes and
zumba classes.. instructors make classes so enjoyable.
Thrive classes, excellent instructors, helpfully staff
My daughter had a variety of experiences, she came home tired and happy! She loved swimming time and absolutely loves the counselors!!
How close the location is to my home. The staff is always friendly and the equipment is always clean with most equipment functioning properly.
Friendly staff, varied exercise stations, great facility, and wonderful Coffee.
I enjoy the neighborhood feel and the great variety of classes. The instructors of the classes that I attend are wonderful people and top notch instructors. It’s good to see everyone welcomed.
I know Kerr is at capacity which is excitingly but can be a bit challenging where parking is concerned.
I personally wish there is a bit more equipment vs weights but I realize that weight equipment is in great demand. Also I hope there aren’t too many price adjustments coming up as it’s getting a bit pricey for the average senior.
All in all I’m very happy to have our high quality YMCA facility.
I love the indoor track to walk on - no matter the weather outside.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
I love the diversity of exercise options available - whether it's racquetball, machines, free weights, classes, etc.
enjoy the classes
The friendly and helpful staff. The great water aerobics classes. Camp Kanata
The positive the environment and facility and people who work there and the choices of exercises....should have never gotten rid of old fans in Cycling room....it's become so hot...the new ones simply do not have the coverage and only work for the cycle under it
I LOVE the Y!!! Will be a lifer member!! The people make all the difference. And of course I love the services/offerings. Love the classes!!
Nice staff
I love the Y however, due to the influx of new members it is very difficult to get in to the classes I like. It has become a job signing up and getting a parking spot. I wish the more popular classes could be taught in the gym instead of the classroom.
