Welcoming staff. Clean and professional facilities.
I primarily use the weight room, but have never had a problem with the equipment or access to any machines.

Well, you do need to be in the right financial position to afford a membership...especially families, so I am sympathetic to that fact and don't go off spouting membership to people I know who can't afford it!

I like the size of the facility and the location. It’s a clean and bright atmosphere and the instructors are energetic and engaging.

Very friendly and helpful staff.

Got out to be among like minded people. Nice facility. Good instructors.

Golng to the Y helps reduce social isolation

More aqua dance classes and hire more dedicated instructors like the one you have.

I live to go to exercise

So far I have been very impressed with the service offered,nice staff, and how clean the building is.

I always feel welcome coming to the Y. I especially appreciate the wonderful janitor they have there, Jack, I believe is his name. He goes above and beyond and I always see him working hard. I am amazed at how spotless all parts of the facility are and it truly makes my visit more comfortable. (The man deserves a raise!!) I like the community-feel they have as well and I look forward to coming back everytime.

Good place for family fun and fitness.

Staff friendly and helpful.

Very clean place and the instructors are excellent!

Facility is clean, staff are friendly

I’ve already told many of my friends and family about the YMCA in Petrolia; friendly staff, convenient locations.

Versatile schedule. Clean and well organized.

Great people to work with
Very friendly staff

The people are friendly and the classes are well taught.

This small town YMCA has a lot to offer for all ages. I have to say the staff is it's biggest asset. They are helpful and make my experience fun.

The Petrolia Y is very welcoming and so friendly! It is also spotlessly clean.

Great staff. Appreciate the new equipment.

Not much in the summer

the staff are friendly, always ready with a smile and a good morning. Classes are

I drive 40 minutes to go to aquadance class. Love the classes and Brea is the best.

Would like more affordable memberships that include classes and better gym hours

I really like the aqua fit and the light and lively.

I wish the Aqua dance would change up the songs and routine every once in a while.

Great place to workout the staff are all friendly and very helpful

Clean and friendly people

The staff that is super friendly and helpful, and especially Dana, who is always available to help me and takes that time to do so

Its too expensive. I am going to have to cancel my membership for this reason soon as well.

It would be nice if the temp in the change rooms was warmer.

It would be nice if lane swim was available all day especially since Sarnia YMCA lane pool has been closed multiple times this last time has been over a week. I do love the water bottle filling station recently put in between the bathrooms!

I believe that there should be more rec swims available in the evening. Most people work until 5, then we only get from 7 to 8 for a lane swim, not even rec swim while there is swimming lessons etc going on. Just frustrating

Very clean facility, knowledgeable instructors, friendly staff

Great elderly programs.

I am very pleased with the many seniors activities that are available for us. Even though some of us are not able to participate in all of the planned activities our problems whether big or small are accepted and all are encouraged to keep moving to the best of our ability. All of the instructors plan activities that address both our weaknesses and our strengths.

The reasons I like the Y is because of the moderate level fitness classes, aqua fit, lane swim, yoga, and friendly staff. My only suggestion is there could be a larger space for yoga, the current kitchen/activity room is often too full for the number of people who show up. If a larger space isn't an option perhaps have a limit on participants, maybe a sign up sheet.

Instructors are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It's very welcoming and feels like a community.

Family atmosphere at Ymca petrolia

Clean facilities with lots of light. Pleasant staff and clientele.

A variety of classes for everyone of all ages.

Timing of the classes - early but not too early No signing up ahead of time Instructors do a good job

You off a great variety.

Always friendly instructors

I enjoy swimming, glad to have the pool so close by. I attended boomers with a friend for the first time. We both very much enjoyed boomers.

Lots of equipment for beginners to advanced lifting.

Great variety of class programs that I like and am enjoying. I should have became a member of the YMCA long before February, 2026. Very clean building on the inside.

Dislike the pump showers, no temp control etc.

I like all the machines in the weigh room. Enjoy doing my own exercise without being on a schedule. The meals on Thursdays are great and programs after are enjoyable to listen to.

I love the cleanliness! It is so important to have a clean pool and shower area. Although I would like to have lane swim times extending a little later into the morning, it is still worth the drive from Sarnia
