Member Testimonials

Community.

Friendly staff. Professional teachers/facilitators. Really like the water aerobics instructor who ends each routine with an :Ahhhhhhhhhhhh"

The Y has a very welcoming vibe and the staff and members are friendly. This makes a very big difference in how much one enjoys exercising. I've appreciated all the classes I've taken at Central Y, but would like to recognize Tia and Amy in particular.They are experts.

The instructors are outstanding and the variety and times of group classes are perfect for me. I just turned 73 and my health is better now than it was when I was in my 60s. I credit the ten classes a week I take at the Y with this improvement. Also the location is convenient and I appreciate the availability of parking.

I enjoy the water exercise classes with Pat and with Theresa. Not only are they beneficial to me physically, they bring me so much joy.

I like the smaller group exercise offerings. The classes are conveniently spread across different days and times. The fitness class leaders I've encountered are very welcoming, well prepared, and make the class lots of fun.

Every staff member I've encountered has been helpful and cheerful. The classes I have taken (water exercise for arthritis and water aerobics, and now fall prevention) have outstanding instructors and have really made a difference in my mobility and general fitness.

We like the pool. Swimming is the best.

I am happy with the water exercise classes. Would like them earlier in the day.

Clean and well maintained.

The Y has a good variety of classes and activities.

I love this place. The people are fantastic and the classes are wonderful. It may not be the flashiest place in town, but it’s definitely got a wholesome healthy community feel. This YMCA is a huge asset to our community. It’s a great place for experienced athletes and for people just starting out. The whole center is very welcoming and efficiently run. I could never imagine wanting to go anywhere else.

I love the Arthritis swim class led by Pat Wolfe.

The community feeling, diversity of people and exercise opportunities.

Classes are great, facility is clean. What more could you ask for!

My husband and I work out in the cardio room on the machines. We also participate in several exercise classes. We’ve been members for 17 yrs, and in all that time we’ve NEVER had an instructor as outstanding as Tia Fitzpatrick. She is absolutely amazing by all measures, and it’s reflected in how well attended her classes are.

She makes a point to know everyone’s name, is a great motivator, is an excellent instructor, engages everyone and creates such a wonderful sense of community we look forward to attending class and to a great workout.

All the other instructors are good, but they just don’t hold a candle to Tia! Thank you for hiring such an excellent person.

Excellent instructors, variety of classes, meeting with friends & making new ones, staying strong & healthy while having fun.
