What Our Members Are Saying

Close and convenient. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. We are new members and find the equipment in the Wellness Center accessible and easy to use. Having no previous "gym" experience, it has been good to find that the atmosphere is not at all intimidating. -Richard N., Bay View Family YMCA

Inspiring Member Stories

Staff is always warm, helpful and friendly. I like that all ages are there exercising; it helps me fit right in without feeling self-conscious about working out! I recently lost my daughter and being able to walk at the Y has been part of my healing process. Thanks, YMCA, for being in our community. -Mary U., Corning Family YMCA
