Member Testimonials

Love the water aerobic classes- instructors are great!

I enjoy coming into train through the week with one of the best gyms in the Erie Pa with great equipment, machines and free weights.

The trainers, the atmosphere and those that train with me.

It is ran very professionally yet very personal. The staff are very helpful and the greeting at the desk definitely makes you want to return!! no one judges, and you go at your own pace. I enjoy the Y very much.!!

Everyone is so friendly and inclusive

Talented instructors, great variety of classes, and lots of wonderful people to meet.

I am a member of the Eastside Y. I enjoy the senior classes and especially the fact that some are offered in the afternoon. I am not a morning person. LOL! In addition, you offer so many other programs throughout the month. Whether it’s an outside speaker, a potluck luncheon, monthly birthday cake, community outreach collections, or an outing on the YMCA bus, I appreciate it all. You’re creative and innovative. Lastly, all the staff are very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere always feels warm and accepting no matter what your physical limitations may be.

Sauna and enjoy working out.

The staff are friendly and I get along with many of the members who workout at the same time as me so it’s fun! I really enjoy the pool as well.

We've been going to the y for over 40 years. First my children participated in sports there and now my grandchildren are there.

Most everything! Very friendly employees, instructors, etc and the chance to make new friends!

Great equipment for exercising.

The pool is nice as well as the general facility.

I've recently hurt my back, and utilize your Pool, Steam Room and Hot tub (when it's working). Before my fall, my Brother and I enjoyed your "chair yoga' class. You have Great Instructors and the Life Guards are also very friendly and very helpful.

Many options

Camaraderie, fitness, teachers

Everybody seems to be very friendly and anxious to help each other. It’s a it’s a great environment. The people very friendly to be around. I enjoy being with each and every one of them

Try to exercise to keep my body in shape.

Many times and days, different kind of workouts for the older people , to the younger. I have done a chair yoga,and I really enjoyed. A lot.

Donna at the front desk at the Eastside Y is the very best ! The water fitness classes are wonderful. Rene & Devin work us hard but make it fun.

everybody’s pleasant. The pool guards are very kind and very attentive and it’s a happy atmosphere and a very safe one.

The employees and members are friendly and kind. The facility is clean and the safety of others in the building is on point. I am in congestive heart failure, and I was only able to do eight minutes at the limit of two and I got off and I sat down at the table. The employee showed his concern and sat and talk with me reinsuring that everything is OK that I should just take it one day at a time and that I will get at the point where I want to be. He was very kind very friendly very. He went out of his way making me comfortable laughing. Your employees are amazing.

I was attending the Pennbrair swim class because it was closer to home. Once they closed their pool I started attending the Y swim classes. There's a big difference. There are lifeguards which we never saw at Pennbriar. The classes are fun and not too hard. There seems to be a shortage on lockers but I did manage to find one in a good spot and I'm renting a locker now. The staff is very friendly everything is kept nice and clean no complaints👍

The facility is Clean and inviting with other members presences.

It's very welcoming. The classes are awesome and geared to the ages. The staff is friendly. I take my granddaughter while I'm in a class and they also are so friendly. Thank you all

Everything!

I enjoy the flexibility to either do a class or excercise on my own in the room on the main floor or walk the downstairs track.
However the air ventilation at the downstairs track needs attention. The air is stale and dry.

Friendly people, great comerardi, really fun group classes. Perfect solution to ease into retirement!

Friendly staff, clean and nice pool, gym and courts.

The many classes offered, all the new friends i have made.
