YMCA OF CAPE BRETON REVIEWS

I visit the Y weekly with my kids for swimming, I’ve noticed a significant difference in the cleanliness of the facilities in the past year over previous years. With such high foot traffic the cleaning staff are doing an amazing job keeping the place in top order. Not only are the common areas always spotless but the family locker room has such a good up keep considering how many family’s with small kids are in and out of there. Keep up the good work.

I’d never been to the Y in Sydney before. First day today. I would say the experience was perfect. I easily booked my class online, was greeted at the front and the process to register for a day pass was smooth, and the class, taught by Helen, was great! What I really appreciated was how helpful everyone was…explained what weights I needed, what options I had and checked on me throughout the class. It was a really lovely experience. Looking forward to attending my next class.

When we arrived at the front desk the young gentleman behind was so helpful. He had us fill in the required information and we went to have a much needed shower. The facilities were very clean and brightly lit. The whole experience was very nice. The staff were friendly, courteous and respectful. Definitely five stars.
