Clean facility, lots of classes, professional instructors, wide variety of programs for all ages.
Everyone is kind and helpful. Lots of choices in activities.
Friendly staff, clean facility, modern equipment.
The staff sets the atmosphere as I enter. I usually arrive 5am so anyone friendly at that time are good people. Ashley & Chris always encourage me and invite me to the many events here. Thank you…
I have already recommend the volleyball program 11-14yrs to some of my daughters friends and now they have been playing together for 2 seasons! I think adding an additional practice throughout the week is going to help tremendously!
Nice workers clean facility. Good price good community center.
Adequate space and equipment for exercise class. Nice cardio n free weights area. Generally friendly helpful members. Decent ventilation system.
I am only using the Enhance program which is not really a part of the YMCA but is carried out there. I found it by accident on the original list I was given. The YMCA Staff have been super friendly, helpful and available to me anyway. I did not choose Enhance to get out of joining the Y but will recommend the Y and hoprbe a part of it always!
The experience has improved with teams a little better balanced; was happy to see Jon making sure the coaches were rotating the players last Friday (I noticed one coach only using her strong players while her inexperienced players sat on the bench in weeks prior to last Friday).
My family and I are so happy at the Y!
Business hours could be better. I am only using the Y as a gym and while opening hours are great Saturday and sunday are short. I understand if there is no traffic there is no need but maybe if it was open late youd get more gym business?
It’s a good deal for silver sneakers and I highly recommend it to them.
Palm Harbor has many yoga classes to choose from. Although I live much closer to the Trinity YMCA, I quit going to Trinity because they have few yoga classes, and the classes they do offer are not nearly as good.
I’ll highly recommended. Enviromental, facilities are very satisfactory.
The gym area is well equipped. The staff is always nearby and helpful. Even the temporary rest room and shower area are well maintained.
Variety of workouts. Nice clean facility. Nice workout equipment. Suggestion: I frequently like to do personal workouts on floor and standing. There is only one place I know of to do this-the small, awkward and uncomfortable room off the main workout room. The equipment I like to use (basic hand weights, stretch cords, etc) are all located in awkward locations just outside of this room. I wish there was a designated area of the larger workout room which was comfortable and not cramped where this could be done.
My favorite activity at the Y is the water aerobics class with Sandra. She is such a fun teacher and it’s a very enjoyable class. Near the end of the season we had several issues with sharing the pool that put a sour taste in my mouth. The children swim lessons seemed to take priority over the water aerobics class to the point that we were down to a postage stamp size of the pool. While trying to cohabitate with the swim lessons, the short, round, blonde swim lesson instructor (Michelle?) let us the group know that the swim lessons are paid for and they have priority. It was a very poor interaction and she was an embarrassment as representative of the Y. Things got better space wise toward the end of the season, but it made me not want to return since it’s a difficult activity to do in a cramped area. There were also a few instances of old men trying to use the family pool as a lap pool with no situational awareness. I felt the lifeguards should have said something instead of it being on the class participants.
Overall, I do enjoy the YMCA. Since water aerobics has ended, I’ve tried out a few other classes. I enjoy the LM offerings especially the vibes in the Tuesday body balance class.
There needs to be more Silver Sneaker classes. The ones that are already schedule are packed. I would like to go but they are so crowded and there's no room so I miss out. There could be an earlier one in the morning and then a late morning or noon class. Also there could be some group exercise classes on Sunday afternoon, like zumba or silver sneakers classes, or dance mix, boom move. The group exercise dance classes are great and well attended and it would be nice if there were more.
Classes are so fun because of the amazing instructors . There's also a wonderful sense of community. I attend at least 4 times weekly.
Great instructors and inviting place for workouts.
As a snow bird, the Palm Harbor Y has given me a sense of purpose and belonging. It’s difficult to leave my northern family and friends behind, but once I joined the Y at Palm Harbor, I feel at home again.
Especially like the pool
The Y has much to offer, and I did refer friends who ended up joining!
Love the Zumba classes
Lots of classes, pool, pickleball and fair weight room(could have more machines).
