Member Testimonials
Staff was very friendly, facility very clean and great location
It's a great facility with excellent equipment, friendly staff and the type of atmosphere that makes my work outs comfortable.
It would be good if paper napkins are placed near the equipment.
The Staff is great! My grandson enjoy the activities the YMCA offers.
Great place, friendly, clean, well-equipped, well-run. The only thing I miss is the opportunity to do personal stretches and balance exercises somewhere other than at the corners of the track. With everything going on, I recognize this is a big ask. But the personal training station corner is very crowded with equipment and can't support more than two people at most. And the other three corners of the track are often in use by others who want to do the same thing I do. I can usually find a secluded spot somewhere to do what I want to do. But if you could find a way to create more space for the personal training as well as individual stretching and balance exercises, I would be delighted.
But, the Poole Y is a great place and its become an important part of my week. Also, btw, the Thrive Drumming class is terrific.
Friendly staff, great equipment nice clientele

What I like most about the YMCA the Pool Family has been very friendly always making you feel welcome ,always available to answer any questions or to show you anything that you need to know about the different machines and how to use them. I've always felt like I'm at home with my own personal gym.
Cleanliness and friendly staff
Would love to see an earlier body combat class added during the week like say 530 or so
Relax and family focused
Sense of community with other active senior women. Love Jeanne as the “Thrive” coordinator who has taken an already good program to a whole new level!! Ellen as my long time weight lifting class instructor who is so positive, caring, and supportive of me as a 74 yo in her class of mostly younger people. Live Lindsey as a weight lifting instructor too. Super friendly greet staff at the front desk.
The instructors are fabulous, the facility is clean, and everyone at the front desk greets you with a smile and know you personally every time you walk in. The classes are energizing and make me feel good when I leave. Thank you.
