Great!
It is friendly. It is clean. Treadmills are always available.
Staff, Equipment, Facility, Classes.
It’s clean and not super busy. My only real gripe is that the squat racks aren’t aligned with the mirrors on the wellness floor. Annoying for the gaps between mirror panels to visually cut me in half, and make it harder to see myself while working out.
The staff and the exercise instructors are very welcoming.
I haasber enjoyed meeting new peeople at the Y.
Great classes and very friendly environment!
Location..
Clean, "open" environment, very much appreciate the childcare options to allow parents to work-out
Staff is very friendly and supportive. My trainer is professionally focused; offer detailed instructions and great encouragement.
it has been good, a little frustrating to not have access to the classes, for my favorites are full 12-24 hours before the class begins.
Going to classes at the gym helps me move in ways I didn't know I needed to move to increase and keep my mobility.
The staff is friendly and helpful. The gym is clean and inviting.
Quality of exercise equipment, customer service is excellent and personal and pool although I do wish the pool was year round.
All around great facility. Very welcoming.
Staff is friendly. Would recommend that maximum class size numbers be enforced.
I love the classes and staff!
I absolutely love the Poole YMCA! The staff and other members are so welcoming, and the Thrive classes are the perfect speed for where I am physically right now. Love that the instructors always show how you can increase the workout intensity, and stress that all can feel comfortable working at whatever level is right for us. I'm grateful for the gift of this lovely place!
Relatively in crowded, love the classes

CLEANLINESS AND FRIENDLY STAFF
Atmosphere
Joining the YMCA at the Poole location has been such a rewarding experience for me. The staff is always so welcoming and friendly. I enjoy being able to go to the gym for a little workout and then have a relaxing walk around White Deer Park. I also enjoy being able to work with a personal trainer which has helped me build up my confidence and self esteem as well as becoming more physically fit and learning how to eat healthier. I’m 47 years old and I want to keep my joints and muscles strong so I can be able to stay healthy. Thank you Miss Laura and the Poole family team. You guys rock. 😊

Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. My personal trainer couldn’t be more helpful and supportive.
Sense of community, relate-able instructors, classes geared towards members over 55
Great facilities & equipment. Great staff. Friendly members. Good support for the community.
I Like the classes, hours.
PLEASE concrete stone walkway on side of front entrance. Dangerous and muddy when wet and slippery. Thank you.

I love the new earlier hours! I wish there was a bubble on the pool for winter swimming. I also wish there was additional space and machines for strength training and a deadlift platform like at the Alexander branch.
