French Creek Family YMCA

Negative experience: Short notice wen pool is closed. only reason I signed up is for the pool. it's helps with my back and stiff muscles .the recreational pool is always closed . Sometimes the staff are very rude. wen it comes to asking questions.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff. Very welcoming. Very clean. Many, many activities. Family friendly. Extremely nice facility. Highly recommend. Thank you Sandy. She is the Lady I met when I first went there. God bless .

Fantastic experience: I love the French Creek Family YMCA. They have 2 pools and a hot tub!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff Wonderful employees very highly recommended in a relaxed place

Fantastic experience: Group fitness classes at the Y have been great for me. I can find something that works with my schedule almost each day of the week. Instructors are prepared and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere is welcoming.

Negative experience: How old do you have to be to be in the GYM? An elderly man came in today with a full blown picnic and let his CHILDREN run around the weights room! I got hit twice by these kids! Why on earth was no one saying anything? This is not what the gym is for. It’s not jungle gym time. It’s for serious adults to come and workout and meet their fitness goals. Shouldn’t have to worry about tripping over a medicine ball or getting run into by wild kids. No ill will on you guys, but…Please don’t allow this to continue to happen!!! It’s in fact dangerous! For both the kids and the adults trying to work out! *by the way you won’t find me in the directory, this complaint is made anonymously.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous staff, great facility, nice patrons. What more could you want?

Fantastic experience: Excellence in every category.......

Fantastic experience: Our granddaughter was enrolled in Sports camp this summer and had a wonderful experience, lots of fun and new friendships. Hannah is so passionate about the camp and invested in making sure the kids have a good time.

Fantastic experience: Love it and recommended to everyone go to YMCA

Fantastic experience: Sports camp 10 out of 10

Fantastic experience: French Creek is a wonderful YMCA for kids. My son has done group and private swimming lessons, and he’s son science, sports, and art camps. His favorite was whichever camp he was in. Wonderful program, great values, staff, communication, and fun!

Fantastic experience: Large variety of activities and programs

Fantastic experience: Have attended the y for the past 4 years. Met many wonderful people. The instructors are top notch.

Fantastic experience: The sports camp director is very helpful with the kids and informative. Nice friendly place

Fantastic experience: We are first-timers of the YMCA specialty camp and absolutely LOVE it. We've done the traditional camp in previous years. My kids love the Play with Purpose objectives and are incredibly excited when they receive ribbons. They are having fun and learning too, which is exactly what I was hoping for in a summer camp program. 10/10 would recommend this program to anyone with school-aged children. My kids are already asking if they can come back to Science Camp next year. Bravo YMCA!!

Positive experience: We've been members for over a year now. The child watch is wonderful. My little one loves Miss Aubrey, Miss Amira and Miss Faten. My issues are the lack of updated equipment. There are ripped pads on machines, missing rubber guards for the foot rest on the hip ab/adduct machine. I'm just one person, but in my opinion, it's seems like they could get rid of a few treadmills and stationary bikes to make room for other machines most other gyms have. Otherwise, the staff is always incredibly friendly, the facility is clean, and it's a very welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: One of the best summer camp my son has ever had.

Fantastic experience: Always clean and workers are happy to see you.

Fantastic experience: Nice place good gym lots of space and very clean and very fun

Fantastic experience: I love that the YMCA provides a safe place for child to play and give them space to grown we haven’t made any friends yet but I’m hoping it provides that for my children so they can have better social skills and interaction with their peers

Fantastic experience: French Creek YMCA staff have always been very friendly and helpful. I greatly enjoy the Aqua Zumba class in the evenings with Angie. Her upbeat personality and encouragement is infectious!!! Even after an exhausting day at work, completing the class lifts my spirits, makes my body feel good, and leaves me looking forward to coming back.

Negative experience: Place is S-hole in Avon . Hot tub broke down majority of the time , pools always close either this is wrong or some dumb kids birthday party . Have party’s after hours . For the price I’ll pass it went up twice this year now they want 61 month yeah I’d rather pass on this over priced S-hole

Fantastic experience: I go to the y

Fantastic experience: If you want somewhere to take the kids just to get out the house or even for yourself, the Y is the place. They even have a daycare for us moms! :)

Fantastic experience: We have had an excellent experience with the swim program for our son. Mandi Workman has gone above and beyond to accommodate our special needs son to ensure he is able to participate in swim class/swim lessons. Our swim instructor, Grace, is wonderful with our son. We are so grateful and appreciative of their help and support!

Fantastic experience: Try the French Creek YMCA it is so much fun and everyone is so friendly.:)

Fantastic experience: The French Creek YMCA has many events and activities that apply to me. Plus they are offered at convenient times during the week

Fantastic experience: My family loves French Creek YMCA! Staff is wonderful and the programs offered never disappoint. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fitness after 50 is the very best class. I love the variety of equipment and how easy it is to schedule with a personal trainer and take advantage of their expertise. Do wish they had more deep water workouts for adults, and maybe a stroke clinic so I could use the pool more.

Fantastic experience: There is a wide range of classes available. I am particularly interested in those for seniors. The facility is very clean and attractive. The location is convenient, and there is plenty of parking available. The atmosphere is very casual and welcoming. I use the treadmills, and there are always lots available, as well as a walking track. It is nice to have these things available year round, but particularly in the winter months. Thank you.

Negative experience: Got kicked out because I was wearing slides. I do this every time I go to this gym and not once has anyone told me it was not allowed.

Fantastic experience: Since I started going to the gym I feel great and see the results of working out. I believe as we age we should try our best to exercise our body and our minds every day to improve our overall health..

Negative experience: Staff can be very rude

Fantastic experience: The camp keeps my kids physically active all summer. I have 3 in sports camp. They love the counselors and different activities. The goals to earn the ribbons too have been great lessons and teachings for my 3 as well. I appreciate this type of environment for my kids so I can work and know they are safe, cared for and in a positive learning environment. Kudos to Hannah and all her counselors!

Fantastic experience: Keep clean atmosphere and good customer service

Fantastic experience: Amazing camp very organized, friendly staff and a lot of fun for the kid

Positive experience: Please, please repair the whirlpool and adequately staff the pool. We maintained our family membership during the pandemic and this is how we are repaid for supporting you. Get it together!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and nice staff.

Positive experience: Fun place to workout, share with friends and enjoy with my family

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Good equipment choices.

Fantastic experience: We are members of the French Creek YMCA. We love this place and the kids come get to workout with us! Great family place!

Fantastic experience: I go here as often as possible. It helps me stay healthy and active.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome and clean. The staff is amazing!! Once you go to the pool more than once you're like family. I'm always greeted by the workers and they are always fast to help when I'm in need. Get your membership, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Great facilty. Very clean. Staff friendly.

Fantastic experience: Friendly front desk personnel. Finally have more hours the pools are open during the day!

Fantastic experience: We had a birthday party for 2 if my granddaughters today. This was well organized! The workers were kind, the lifeguards were spectacular and the kids had a blast! The party space consisted if 2 rooms. One for food/crafts and the other had all kinds of fun stuff (VR, Switch/video games, Foosball, Air Hockey, board games, etc.) Both rooms were spacious! The kids got swim time and then gym time. The gym was large and split in half. One side had scooters, basketball, balls, hula hoops, etc. On the other side they put up a HUGE inflatable obstacle course. Just amazing!

Fantastic experience: The facility is beautiful and always super clean. I love the group workout classes. The instructors are welcoming and always pushing me to give my best effort. I love the sense of community that I'm buildings with my fellow gym members. I love the availability of the play center for young children and can definitely see our children being active Y members as they grow older with swim lessons and basketball.

Fantastic experience: Good people! Love all the instructors and classes offered. Open pickleball play, pickleball socials and tournaments as well as instruction (beginner and intermediate). Variety of yoga levels, all great classes!

Fantastic experience: There are many activities to get involved in and the staff are excellent.

Positive experience: I like the ymca but they hardly have open gym they do sometimes but not alot I think they should make certain days for open gym and no pickle ball or junior cavs. people pay for a membership to play basketball too but the time needs to be promised not all of a sudden change people can't waste there gas just because they say oh no no open courts when they said there were. I'd suggest certain days open gym besides that I love it but they need to fix the time schedule.

Fantastic experience: I love the multiple activities for adults and children. We have attended the YMCA for years. Our now 6 grader went to Preschool/Pre K there and my husband coached my now 22 year old daughter Junior Cavs team and my 11 year old.The YMCA has a huge positive impact on my family improving our healthy while having fun family time swimming, playing basketball, or doing an exercise class together!

Negative experience: They banned me for going out the side door I wouldn’t even give this place a one star completely ruined my experience at this gym for life I’m now unbanned but they outta find something better to do then to ban people who need to work out I went the back surgery and it’s the doctors orders I workout so I told them this and they said yeah you’ll have to wait till your unban and we will call cops on you if you go to workout they really gotta find better things to with their time then pick on disabled people

Negative experience: Their website always says open courts and every time I go they have a sign on the door saying courts closed for pickle ball sorry for inconvenience. Update your website so people don't drive 30 mins to come play basketball when it says open courts! This has happened multiple times.

Fantastic experience: I love the group classes for over 50. The instructors are fun, very patient and professional . Everyone is very friendly it makes my day!

Fantastic experience: Great Place to exercise and stay in shape. Meet and compare notes and experiences with lots of nice people. Staff is friendly, knowledgable, and helpfull !

Fantastic experience: One the nicest and friendliest Y's I've been to. Trucker friendy...Showers!

Positive experience: Family friendly. Great If you have a little one. I wish there was a designated stretching area instead of it being in the open (preferred when the stretching area was in the room that overlooks the pool).

Fantastic experience: Great place for a work out. I love the variety of equipment to use. There is always someone available to explain the proper way to use the equipment. Thanks

Fantastic experience: wide variety of equipment and services. polite personnel

Fantastic experience: It provides all my exercise needs.

Fantastic experience: This is the second birthday party I have had at the Y. I have to say Hannah is a pleasure to work with. Very nice and efficient. Will continue to have all of our parties here!

Fantastic experience: I love the classes offered at French Creek Y. The class instructors are amazing and energetic. Diane the group fitness manager is super nice, approachable, and readily accessible.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Super-Clean facilities. All the equipment you'll ever need! LOL

Negative experience: Gym is literally never available because of pickle ball

Negative experience: the place is ok but i'm talking about the summer camp. the summer camp sucked like i went there and the camp counculers were rude like they yelled all the time. like when someone was talking she just yelled at the whole group and her co counculer didn't try to stop her. and also it got split up into 4 groups because it was so big and group 1 and 2 watched a movie. while group 3 and 4 had to journal and we can't write whatever we want we had to do a prompt and i was near kids who were doing bad things and i got in trouble with them. and i would give this 4 stars if it didn't have such a bad summer camp

Fantastic experience: This is my favorite YMCA I visited.

Fantastic experience: Love the Silver Sneakers classes with Jan and Amanda!

Positive experience: This gym/pool has terrible schedules. Would never recommend this facility for swimming. The pool is mostly reserved for school practice teams. It’s either closed or very limited time slots, or used by the schools. What’s the point of having a pool if it isn’t open for the public? Very expensive for a family to join if they can never use the facility to its fullest. We cancelled our membership.

Fantastic experience: I have attended many programs directed by our ACTIVE OLDER ADULTS Coordinator. KATHY Mc KEAN. Bus Travel trips. And Community Enrollment of all projects to improve the betterment of our human society.

Negative experience: There’s definitely better gyms then this. It’s extremely dirty, outdated equipment, and some doesn’t even work or the cable machines plates are sticking??? The pool hasn’t been open to use because there’s a practice every single minute. They don’t have a lot of equipment too there’s so much missing that’s standard for other gyms. Too expensive for the quality it doesn’t possess. I only come here for the daycare so my husband can work out with me , and the classes for my children to learn swimming . But other then that I would cancel in a minute and go back to my other gym . I really miss it

Fantastic experience: Love this place. It's the Taj Mahal of Y's.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff. Answered all my questions and programs for all ages

Fantastic experience: I love the water aerobics and yoga classes the instructors are encouraging and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Management was engaged with members and staff during our visit. We enjoyed conversations with instructors Laura and Doug, both patient and knowledgeable. The Active Older adult program has many choices for varied skill levels. Pickle ball and water/aqua areas appeared to be actively engaged with members. We noticed several cleaning stations and staff sanitizing on a regular basis.

Fantastic experience: I started coming to the YMCA a few months ago and it's my absolute favorite gym by far. The staff is so nice and helpful, the child watch room is so great and they are so good with my kids. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone! It's so very clean inside, everytime I'm working out there is a staff member cleaning! It's also nice to be able to to the suana after my workouts. And for anyone who loves group classes they have those also!! Seriously I definitely recommend giving this gym a try!

Fantastic experience: The Y does have some missing information in the consistency. Don’t seem that all staff are on Same page. I will say normally equipment has been up and running well also. Since the lifting of all the pandemic protocols- (which they had a year to work on and get ready, many of the machines we’re down. overall the staff is friendly and accommodating. Let’s work on management trickle down to staff. (Or maybe upper management to management) Clean and good to go for families.

Fantastic experience: Friendly lady, tons of activities, lots of high quality equipment in the gym.

Fantastic experience: I love the gym, the staff is great and super friendly and very well at cleaning

Fantastic experience: The gym is nice, the people are friendly, the pools are nice, and they have a lot of classes.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. Lots of activities available for the active seniors. The bus trips are fun and worthwhile.

Positive experience: Been hooping here for 3 years but ever since recently the courts have been really dusty. Also you can’t bring guests in with a membership at this ymca but you can at the westlake ymca which don’t make sense. Also, I think I should be aloud to take my shirt off when I hoop because it gets very hot and humid especially in the summer.

Negative experience: I cancelled my membership in the middle of April. May 1st they charged my credit card. I expected better from the YMCA.

Negative experience: Lovely facility. Most employees there are really nice. I give only 2 star review because... I got a membership there so I could swim a 6:30 am during the week. Its the only time I am available. The first few weeks weren't to bad. But then the availability to swim got slimmer by the day. I got the excuse because of staffing. Why don't they hire personal then? I've heard it's not the nicest place to work for. Maybe if they changed their ways and pay and treat staff accordingly, they might have more clientele and happier clientele. I'm mot happy about them making a schedule to be able to swim and you drive there and the pool is closed. If you call ahead they don't answer. :(

Negative experience: We have been members for about a month... we are continually given incorrect/mis information from different staff members (though everyone we have talked to is extremely friendly). There is no consistent publication of program offerings. Apparently they are "paperless" so you have to ask the front desk so they can look on the computer and handwrite info for you on a piece of PAPER ‍♀️. Things seem to be cancelled often and lots of mentions of employees not showing up/quitting - possibly management issues? Today we went to the family fun day advertised on social media just yesterday. I called this morning and confirmed with the front desk that it was still scheduled, she put me on hold for awhile to verify - came back and said it is still on and listed in detail the activities planned. We arrive and check in, only to be told by the front desk manager that the family fun day is actually only every other weekend and is not today??? I pointed to the social media posts that were still posted and he seemed to indicate that was controlled be another office and they can't get it corrected? After voicing my concerns this manager indicated his best suggestion was that I should post negative reviews in places like Google as that seems to be the only thing that gets noticed by the Cleveland office - so here I am hoping someone hears this.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE WORKING OUT THERE. CLEAN AND THE STAFF IS REMARKABLE, VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.I RATE AT 6 STARS.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful pool. Great staff.

Fantastic experience: Provided a 10 out of 10 rating. "They are always helpful, positive and interested in meeting my needs."

Fantastic experience: Absolutely beautiful location. Very clean. The front desk are always Friendly & helpful in answering any questions we have. I highly recommend this location.

Fantastic experience: Love the AOL-type exercise classes as well as the Caps and Laps group!

Fantastic experience: My mom works there, I like it here. Good job mom

Fantastic experience: The facilities are very good and the classes have a lot of variety. The staff is very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I find that equipment (weight) is available when I arrive to workout and that I do not find pressure to move through my sets quickly. The same is true for the treadmills. Staff has always been helpful and go out of their way to assist.

Fantastic experience: The Y has done an awesome job since they re-opened June 1st with the spacing and repositioning the machines. The staff has always been helpful and with a smile. They disinfect the equipment often and I feel safer going now then before this Covid-19 with all the safety guidelines that they have implemented. Also, its been great to get back to continue my routine again! Thank you YMCA !!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, especially in the Pathways Center. Everytime we ask our 3 & 6 year old if they want to go to the gym, the answer is ALWAYS "yes!"We've been coming for almost three years. The group classes are great. Saturday morning Zumba is a highlight to our week.The gym is clean and there's plenty of variety to the classes and enough weight equipment where there's rarely a wait for anything.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of taking classes with a few of the instructors. They are are professional and make exercise fun.

Fantastic experience: I Enjoy working out there!

Positive experience: Many gyms open during this crazy pandemic. The French Creek Y is friendly, helpful, and CLEAN. The programs are very good and staff is very experienced at helping you find the right class.

Negative experience: Does not follow the nationwide privileges, Touts on the website that they do. But it does not

Negative experience: I was not pleased how when I came to the YMCA as a member I was not allowed to bring in a guest under the age of 18 because I am also under 18. If a younger person can have their own pass then I do not see why they can't bring their peers in as guests. I understand where they may be coming from but I feel they are majorly contradicting themselves. And then they continued to treat us unfair, giving us attitude and mocking us. We offered to buy a day pass but they said. "It's more than your willing to pay"
