We have probably worked out in 100 different gyms across Canada but it has been rare to find a place that we have enjoyed as much as the Y. We are relatively new to Sarnia and we are experiencing a real sense of community through Y. The fitness facilities are excellent and well maintained as are the change rooms and facilities.
I already have! Told my mother and neighbors
It is a nice clean facility. I am wishing there was a more cost effective pool pass for seniors. 100.00 dollars a month is getting beyond some of the seniors budgets. Yet they don't qualify for the" budget" pass!!
Beautiful gym. Best in the city.
Excelle
He's very professional, polite, pays attention to everyone who is waiting in the line for service, and so on and on!! God bless this young worker!!
I’m really enjoying the aquatics. Everyone has been very friendly and helpful!
Awesome
The classes that exist are excellent. However for the new fall schedule the morning spin classes and the group power classes are either at the same time or on the same day but spread out by a couple of hours. Those are my preferred classes.
Wide variety of programs--client-oriented, knowledgeable staff--outstanding facility
I like the options available for fitness classes. However, what I enjoy most is the feeling of community I find at the Y.
I was taught to swim @ the Y.
Have made some lovely friends.
Have been a member for years. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. The program I attend is perfect for my age group and something I look forward too. Thank you for this opportunity to express my feelings!
I use the gym 5 days a week. All of the Staff are so kind and helpful!
There are workout classes the pools etc.
So much to do in one facility!
Mostly more cleaning of the facility overall. The change rooms especially could be cleaned more often or at least more thoroughly
I enjoy working out on my own schedule as weird as socializing with other people.
Retain instructors. The Y currently lacks continuity. Declining class options in the evenings(yoga) and mornings(spin) have been an issue.
Sense of community. Good classes
New entry/exit automatic doors are a great addition/first impression on entering. I’m sure the parents carrying a toddler and their bags of items for the children must be especially pleased. The reception personnel are very welcoming and also helpful when needed. I attend the 8:00 a.m. Light and Lively classes with very good instructors each of whom vary their class exercises so we are alway getting something interesting and different. The only complaint from the class attendees is that the audio system/micsfor the instructors DEFINITELY needs to be improved. It is often, if not always, difficult to understand their instructions as well as any other conversation they like to have with the group. We are often unresponsive to their conversation because we aren’t understanding what they said.
Love the new gym floor. I understand there will be a new curtain to divide the gym. Hopefully that is still to come and then perhaps the dustballs will be cleared off the ledges and the upstairs windows washed. I realize the Y is a very large facility and general maintenance must be ongoing however the pool windows are looking very bad and I don’t recall the last time they looked clean.
Hope this constructive comments are helpful.
Nick was great and helped me out with an issue.
I love the family atmosphere and the variety of classes on offer. The wellness center is well supplied with weights. The staff is encouraging and friendly.

Friendly staff
Friendly staff …. Clean and bright atmosphere
Great facility. Plus services are excellent but expensive. Should have the ability to bring a guest in a regular basis for free.
Improved hot/cold water control and better maintenance of shower area. Insects on shower walls and often no soap.
Needs to have better hours on the weekends. The weight room is too small and open. They over lap too many classes especially on weekends.
Good staff. Good, clean facilities.
Friendly people
No issues ever.
Weightroom has good equipment and pretty spacious. Wish hours were extended on the weekend. Some instructors might wanna be a bit nicer when kicking people out the gym for the next program coming up
Equipment in gym
The YMCA is a very friendly place and the facilities are top notch.
Great easy experience. I wish there was a "punch card" option. I'm using the gym for physio and getting a two week membership is too expensive to only use once a week.
Evening aquafit classes.
Great group classes, friendly, knowledgeable instructors!
Great coaches, great classes, good variety, always welcoming
I like to swim laps , lately you have been accommodating more aquafit and out side groups. The weekend was a time could go pretty much any time , and you have added a aquafit class like 5 days a week isn’t enough Also cleaning in the shower & change rooms has really slacked off !
It's
I always enjoy my time at the JMFC Y in Sarnia- great facility, lot's of natural light, the improved flooring in the gymnasium is a bonus as well too!
Paul and team do a great job overall! Keep up the great work!
I like the pool for lap swimming
I am very happy with the facility and process
Love the friendships I've made. Instructors are great!
The gym , group classes , the pool etc - everything is so good
clean, well maintained facility staffed with friendly, helpful people
Clean facilities, friendly staff
Best place in the city of Sarnia for recreational indoor activities for children and adults
i like the fact that the y is charitable/not for profit
Descriminated against my skin cancer..not allowed in pool, hot tub,sauna ect.
I use only the pool and it was close for a few weeks.
