I had issues with my knees and aquafit has been the best exercise for me. It has kept me fit and mobile.

Has everything I need to stay fit and keep my workouts interesting. Friendly helpful environment!

Very helpful and friendly and welcoming

I had previous good and satisfactory experience in an other area of the ymca, and that was the reason that I joined in this location, too. Hope to have a long relationship in here, too.

It’s very clean. Staff are respectful and friendly.

Excellent variety of classes with top notch instructors … always lots of fun!!

Install fogged wall 1/2 way between lobby area and swimming pool.
Signs up asking people in public areas to please give privacy to those in swimming pool. Include this in upstairs workout room, too as people stand and watch. 🤨
Have more evening aqua swims.

Excellent classes , lots of availability , but would like more evening or saturday aquafit

It's got great equipment, great people who work there. Everyone is willing to help if you need it.

Drop the prices.

used the fitness center

Staff were all friendly & helpful. Water temperature was very nice. Beautiful pool. Really enjoyed the hot tub after the aquarobics class.

Some in house snack or food options would be great. It would be nice if there were family open gym time options after core working hours (after 4:30pm) on weekdays. The monthly price is a little steep amidst all the other competing cost priorities in life. Other than that, the experience has been nice. Staff are friendly and the swim class experience has been fun.

Better hours. We all work. So why are you closed on the weekends when we can actually get there abd use the facilities

The Y provides excellent / clean workout facilities and the staff are great and available. Memberships are flexible by program requirements and also by time ( can be put on temporary hold if needed). If anything, monitoring the correct use of the track would be helpful.

This facility offers such a variety of activities and offers levels for beginner to advanced. There are several time slots in efforts to accommodate the wide range of needs along with taking into consideration work schedules. The building is very clean and the staff helpful and cheery…always feel welcomed and valued as a member. I am pleased that the temperature of the pool has been increased thus making it a more enjoyable time. The gym and cardio offers many opportunities along with trained staff to set up a personal program to help you meet your goals. The walking track too is such an asset and love that the floor is not difficult on your joints. The ice surface is a favourite among many groups and is a proud venue for the continuation of the Young Canada Hockey tournament during March break…actually where Wayne Gretzky played when he was a young boy. It is wonderful that this tournament has been able to continue, having reached its 75th year in 2026. Now that speaks loud and proud for all the staff, coaches and volunteers that are so dedicated. I am excited that our small town has a YMCA that has such well developed programs to guide the people of the area to reach their full potential in regards to their health and wellness.

Great effort by Goderich Y to accommodate people's desires in programming and times locally. Obvious to us and appreciated!

Friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Large roomy facilities with friendly helpful staff.

I enjoy the group fitness classes

The Staff and facilities are excellent..

I enjoy the group fitness classes, especially Group Power.

Need benches in change room

The water is too cold

I would give it a 10 but the pool is too cold , most of us that take aqua fit are seniors and arthritis. We have complained many times time , They make it a bit more comfortable then back to cold

The atmosphere is welcoming and the full time staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. Equipment is fabulous. Really love yoga with Shannon, Rianne, Pete and his wife - others not so much. Jenn and Ullia are amazing. Love the chair fit! I believe if there was a better description of what to expect with yoga it would be helpful:)

Pool water has been too cold last week
Warm water in family change room shower has been very intermittent
Odor from drains in family change room need daily treatment especially with children’s camp and swimming lessons
Life guards have been dropping tables in the pool during our aquafit class ……getting ready for swimming lessons…..instead of waiting for our time to be over….not safe
Vanastra pool is undergoing maintenance and it will be hard to invite those members to Goderich during that time
Water temperature has been fairly consistent until the last 7-10 days
You will lose a lot of revenue if our large class boycotts

Love ❤️ the classes in the evenings, I wish there was more classes offered in the evenings

You need to redo the men's change room. It's old and tired.

It would be nice if you only had to pay for a swim pass instead of for the whole y as that’s all we use and it can be very expensive when you are on a pension.other than that it’s great.

Absolute the best thing you can do for yourself, being a member of the Y is physically socially and mentally the best for your well being

This is a great facility, with lots of options and activities, great hours, helpful staff.

i like the comunity feeling. I like the evening aquafit as it allows for morning appointments.

the pool

Members in the classes are always fun and the instructors try so hard to give us a good, fun workout.

I just came back after a 3 month hiatus. I use the pool and that's about it. In reality, the folks who go to aquafit are your bread and butter - we pay the highest fees (twice as much as I did in Brantford for less than half the number of aquafit classes). We get the pool for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the morning. EVERY SINGLE DAY I was there last week (Monday, Thursday and Friday) - the lane swimmers were allowed to swim right until 9, on Thursday, the aquafitters at the back were made to move by Roo or Jordan so that someone could take a test and the lane markers were put back in at 9:45 every day so those of us who like to water walk weren't allowed to. On Friday, while a woman was doing aquafit up at the front, two swimming coaches put the tables in for swimming lessons before the aquafit class was even over. That is utterly unacceptable considering how much we pay. If we all put our memberships on hold in protest, your operating costs would suffer profoundly. It may come to that.
The aquafit seniors get very little respect or consideration.

The facility is clean, updated with excellent machinery and friendly personnel

The cameradery The effort to try to please. The smile on most people’s faces.Love it!!!

It’s a clean up to date facility. Friendly and helpful staff

There is lots to do, and the place looks good, I wasn't told the lockers are only day use and I had my new lock cut off, but other than that everything is good

I only take part in aquafit. So glad there is also a Saturday aquafit class now too. The variety of instructors and the variety of types of movements and music are appreciated. You can count on me being there.

Keep the temperature consistent in the pool

Aquafit is a great class and is offered at good times.

Weights

Right now the majority of the gym and pool are great. I love the pool schedule

friendly staff and members. Great way to connect with people in the community!

The women's change room. Who ever designed this area needs to review it. Was the thought of installing benches down the middle with lockers along sides. It is very difficult right now in the morning when so many classes going to manage getting dressed.

Both staff and other users are friendly and helpful….equipment and premises are clean and in good repair

Great staff, great facilities.

Pool is clean, spacious, warm, well staffed. Instruction is good. Locker rooms are large, clean and plenty of lockers. It is easy to park. Hours are good, lots of Aquafit classes.
