Everything
Friendly staff, clean, well-equipped, and not too far away. And very affordable. Very glad I joined.
The very capable and helpful staff. The variety of exercise options.
I would like there to be a policy that enforces late comers to classes. Late arrivals are disruptive to individuals that show up on time. Late comers crowd folks that come to class on time. Also, enforce class maximums.
Seems to be friendly and fun! Very clean, plenty of things to do.
Inexpensive and very fun!
Everyone is so nice everyone one you meet that works here are friendly. The facility is always clean. The classes and instructors are fun and accomodating to all fitness levels. The child care is the best 2 hours of my daughter's day she loves the teachers. The YMCA child care is better than most big national day care centers..
The people don’t judge and really seemed to help.
I like the location and the friends I’ve made there
Cleanliness, friendly
We love the Poole YMCA.
We would love it if the kid zone was open for more hours to allow working moms to workout! That’s our only ask!
Everyone is friendly, pleasant, and courteous. Especially the instructor, Shannon, very patient, helpful with me learning how to swim at this late stage in my life after almost drowning when I was younger. It was a challenge to get back in the water but she made me feel comfortable able to relax. Not only did I finish the swim lessons, I learned how to float using the kick board, I accomplished my fear.. Now I'm doing aqua zumba. This is a milestone for me. Proud of myself.
Clean and welcoming facility, competent class instructor

I enjoy the indoor walking track and the pool is a nice bonus.
My teenager son really enjoy the friendly environment at the ymca at Poole.
Everything! The staff are friendly... Kim remembered my name even after a couple of months of my absence. I love the pool.. I do wish it was year round. The facility is clean. The staff are helpful... Beth heard me say that I go to another gym some because they have a certain piece of equipment that my physical therapist suggested and Beth took me to one that gave similar results and made sure I could do it.
Bottom line is that I am impressed!
Awesome service!
Maintained and clean
