From the reviews

Very well organized and ran. Located in what was once a church, the old stone structure is beautiful in its appearance and rather large. The Staff was quite friendly and helpful. We were there for a swimming session with our Scout Troop. The pool was clean and well organized.

★★★★★ — Kevin, Feb 2026

Shoutout to the customer rep who signed me up on a membership and made me feel comfortable! I signed up mainly for the gym and it has all the stuff I need. The only thing is since construction is going on everywhere, it was a little difficult to navigate where to go my first time, but other than that, a great location.

★★★★★ — Pothead, Sep 2025

I just want to ask if you have table tennis / pingpong at your facility. Because its good benefits for whole physical for our body and mind.

★★★★★ — Jade, Dec 2024

Your first barre class at Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
