J	Jillianne Reinseth on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2018: Unfortunately over the last couple of years I've had to change my rating from a 5 to a 2. The facilities are nice, but the management is terrible. They seem to have trouble holding onto staff and rely too much on seasonal high school workers. Because of that the pool and/or hot tub are frequently closed because they don't have enough lifeguards. And when the pool is open, the pool supervisor is conducting lifeguard training classes in the pool, yelling at the top of her lungs, and treating paying members as if they're bothering her. I've talked with the management about this before and they assured me that they'd schedule the training for times when the pool is closed. But it happened today...again. I'm tired of paying monthly dues to an organization that doesn't value its members. 2016: The facilities at this YMCA are top-notch. I used to belong to the Y in Toronto which had the same amount of activities but didn't have a community feel. The Goderich building has a great ice rink, very well-equipped gym, and the best indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna I've seen. From the pool to the gym to the change rooms, everything is very clean.
C	Candice Reich on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a lovely, aesthetically pleasing building and you can usually find something to do here. Sweet Love Eats is located in the cafe area, and Nicole is the main reason I go. Her food is awesome and I recommend trying it out! Memberships to the Y are expensive, even with subsidy in place. This is prohibitive for many families in the community who would benefit from access to programming. I'm grateful for the Strong Start and RASP programs, which make it more feasible. The staffing is much different between the summer months (in April and May, the students return and are usually highly qualified and well trained) compared to the rest of the year (staff shortages and less qualified overall, reduced programming). That said, they are usually friendly and welcoming year round! Honestly, some programming changes and less prohibitive fees would make all the difference, here. The Y definitely has promise.
Z	Zelly Belly on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It has great facilities but the staff is underpaid and it shows.
L	Lia Chaves on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Disappointing to find there's no special membership rates for seniors, and the walking track is not available other than for members...
S	Sílvia Neves Mayer Zlojutro on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very good swimming pool and friendly staff. Spaces are clean and well taken care of.
J	Jay Sheils on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Clean, good facilities. Gym equipment could be more varied but overall pretty good.
D	Dave Cann on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff is always accommodating and extremely personable. The amenities of my Y are outstanding. I look forward to every outing there. :)
S	Sarah Hessel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The environment is welcoming and inclusive. My family and I are always greeted with a warm hello and positive attitude from the Y staff. Now that Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted, all of the great programing and classes are being offered on a regular schedule. I appreciate the wide variety of programing from the babysitting courses, swimming lessons, open family swim times, cycle and yoga classes. Continuing to offer a wide variety of programing, at different times is very much appreciated. I just want to applaud the entire team at our local Y for persevering and maintaining a positive outlook over the past 2 years. The Purser-Hessel Family is so grateful and proud to be Y members.
