Member Testimonials
My membership with the Y of Greater Erie gives me access to 5 local locations. Not only does this make it convenient to fit workouts in my schedule but it gives me access to a huge diversity of offerings and equipment. I enjoy the smaller atmosphere at my main facility in the county, and there's a nice mix of cardio equipment, weights, and open gym time.
I really enjoy the classes, the small pool and the Bible study.

My son Oliver is loving the swim lessons. It is building confidence in his own self and promotes exercise. I am happy that he does something other then have a screen in front of his face. He enjoys the instructors. I also gives me the excuse to go to the Y and exercise while he is in class.
The teachers/instructors are incredible with the kids. My son really enjoys and looks forward to going every Thursday.
It was great learning from the instructor and each other. We were a community of learners in this class.
Friendships made, encouraging each other for better fitness.
The teachers did a great job of keeping everyone involved and interested- quite a task with a room full of 3-5 year olds!
All of the people and friends i have made there. the staff is usually very nice and professional.
I loved the diabetes prevention program. I have done Weight Watchers several times, but this included more information about food, over all wellness and health, and more information on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The support from the instructor, who was supportive, but not judgmental was the key to success. I also enjoyed the support system the other members of the program provided as it's a long journey-it takes commitment-which is impossible without the support. The results aren't just in the scale, but my overall health and movement have improved along with my lab results. I would recommend this program to anyone who is ready to jumpstart their health and wellness journey but isn't sure where to start.
That is feel better and have energy.

Debra (instructor)and Silver Sneakers is the reason I come to the Glenwood Y
Wonderful water arrobics class led by Stella!
I enjoy the exercise classes, especially Curtise's workout program. I'm passionate about the pickleball program and the many members who participate in it. The staff seem very helpful.
Thank you for the warm atmosphere.
I enjoy the pool and swimming laps. I also enjoy working out with the weight machines and the treadmills. It would be nice if they could keep the swimsuit drying machine in the men's room working and pay more attention to keeping the soap dispensers in the showers full.
The swim teacher was very nice and friendly to both parents and children. She was knowledgeable and explained the whys of swimming lessons. The facility was very clean and all staff were friendly and helpful.
I can select classes which fit my interests and comfort level. For example, I choose Pat’s and Kim’s yoga classes, and Marg Mechlenberg’s holistic programs.

The easy access to the Y and the areas of exercise. The really nice staff from the greeters at the front desk to the instructors. I also like the fact that the Y provides many different activities that are available to a diverse membership. I appreciate all the support and service available. As a senior member it’s great to feel comfortable at the Y. Thank you.
