Member Testimonials
Coach Pam swim lessons and pickleball
Very friendly staff and good equipment
Love the programs, swim and kids zone.
Increase the weight machines - rear/fly deltoid, leg press
Also, it would be great if you can put paper napkins on the workout floor. Whenever i get sweat, I would have to walk over to the reception area to get paper napkins.
Everyone there is so personal and professional everyone make you feel welcome.
I enjoy the variety of classes, the equipment and the employees are very friendly and helpful.
Clean facilities and great staff
Range of activity choices
People at the check-in desk are very friendly and always remember my name! Facility is clean and well kept. The jigsaw puzzle! Opportunities for volunteer serving and community support.
Excellent equipment and hours of operation.
Everything
I get to know people my age who exercise. I love the Thrive group & Jeanne is doing great job.
I know you added more equipment but we do need more treadmills to walk on.
I like yoga classes. Wish they didn't fill up so fast...can we have more?
Accessible, clean, friendly check-in, locker room, and workout areas. Great class instructors.
The staff is so kind and friendly, and the atmosphere is great!
The staff is always very welcoming, making every visit through the doors a pleasant experience. They are also helpful in all areas of the facility. Once I figured out how to use the app, I found it very easy to enroll and cancel classes. The indoor walking track at this facility provides me with a tool to strengthen my legs and glutes. My doctors keep reminding me that walking is the best exercise for weight loss and heart strengthening. I enjoy the pool's depth for aqua fitness classes. I am looking forward to getting healthier at the YMCA.
I love the group classes! All of the instructors are great and super encouraging! I also think the front desk staff are nice and welcoming.
I like the community; however, we don't have the class offerings that some other Y's do. We used to have Zumba Tone on Friday nights, for example, and now, it's only every 3rd Friday. If you miss it for some reason, you have to wait almost another month. Makes no sense. No TRX, no kettle bell classes, no boot camp anymore either.
The classes offered there are ones I like to take - Yoga and Body Pump. Absolutely love Molly K, wish she was able to teach every Saturday and more during the week at the 5-6PM time slot!
Also, I Poole is nearest to me and as a smaller facility, has a low key and friendly atmosphere I like.
One piece of constructive feedback: Lindsey, who teaches Body Pump on Mon and Weds evenings, is a great instructor. However, she is often unprepared - makes frequent mistakes through the routines. I think she just needs to up her game and prepare in advance for the routines she take us through, like Rae J and Stephen U at Kraft on Thursday evenings. This week I am trying Cher instead at Kraft.
I enjoy my classes and the many Thrive Senior Activities. I have many friendships I have acquired through these classes and activities. I love Ellen and Lindsey’s classes.
A few requests:
Ditch music with lyrics counter to Christian ideals touted by Young Men’s Christian Association.
Lower decibels of music in classes to a level that doesn’t damage hearing.
Please order many larger size Les Mills weights for those (especially males) in the lifting classes who can’t snap on enough weight to get the heavier workout they want.
Please allow a coffee vendor to sell coffee in the lobby.
I still absolutely love my YMCA and always promote it in the community.
Great opportunity for fitness well being .
Classes for seniors is great but would like to see option fir early evening thrive classes.
The group classes , helpful staff and diverse members
Great facility, always clean & staff are friendly & helpful
The location is very convenient
The staff was very helpful when I needed to renew/reinstate my membership. The staff who assisted me were Brian and Melissa. Thank you
We love the friendly atmosphere but having a special needs son, I wish there could be be an extra adapt exercise class due the week.
A very nice facility, clean, well run, the pool is very very nice and so is the locker room.
The lady who started the process was so kind and sweet. She took care to answer questions and let us in the pool while she finished. We really are so impressed by everyone there, lifeguards and also check in at pool are always very nice!
I love the exercise classes. Instructors are amazing and helpful. Front desk is always polite and willing to help. I only wish you could fix the app so it would track the classes you take instead of having to put it in manually.
I love the pool, the very friendly staff and... everything I've experienced!
There’s a good variety of fitness classes, excellent equipment, friendly people, and clean locker rooms.
