I did recommend to a couple who joined last year.
Very disappointed in the new gym area. Some of the new treadmills and bicycles aren't working. There's only 3 bicycles with backs. People with back issues can't even get a bike. They are always being used.
I love the variety of ways I can get my exercise. Terrific group classes, aqua aerobics, amazing new equipment in the gym. And I love being greeted so warmly by the staff every single time I come in!
Your staff is absolutely wonderful
If possible, could these comments be forwarded to the Greater Palm Harbor YMCA?
I, along with other parents, am very disappointed in the current 11-14 basketball season. Only one of the teams has a coach. The other team receives occasional, and minimal supervision from a young lady, but there has been no coaching. Jon Gutierrez was made aware of this weeks ago, but there has not been any change. Jon has never observed a practice, and it seems that he simply doesn't care. The other volunteer coach is excellent. It is unfortunate that 50% of the kids receive no guidance or coaching. They deserve better.
Everything is fine
The new equipment is nice but many of the machines are not easy for older people to use. Some key pieces of equipment are currently missing but I expect some will arrive in the future.
The majority of Y staff is pretty engaging with members. Efforts to modernize and upgrade the overall facility is appreciated.
Friendly staff and nice facility
It’s the best … so many classes to choose from and the Wellness Center is A-1.
Been a member for a few years now and I enjoy the classes and will probably start using the gym again soon. Great job with All the remodeling
The tennis courts are great and I love the Round Robin format, open to all levels. That is a huge asset to our community.
The rest of the Y looks fantastic, hope to try some of the activities there soon.
Both Geigle and Palm Harbor have large well equipped gym areas which I use almost every day. The rest of the Y is also well kept and maintained.
Great facility, great, knowledgeable staff, always helpful and friendly.
I love the Y & reccomended it every chance I got while at Cardiac Rehab!
The fitness classes are geared for people who do not work
Friendly, great facility, I love everything about it and hope to continue.
Friendly staff and good equipment.
replace risers and benches. They are (and have been) very old and in bad shape.
Everyone is professional, kind, and super supportive as they teach us new ways to improve our health. I am very thankful for their services.
Silver Sneakers
I like everything about the Y and the staff is super friendly. In the gym, I wish staff would be more proactive in keeping people from sitting on machines for too long and playing with their phones. Some people in the back tie up machines for over 45 minutes.
Would be fantastic if they got new mats for the group exercise room. The mats are currently in very bad condition.!
Staff is great; instructors are great
I love the YMCA and everything about it...but two things. You need to buy two pieces of exercise equipment for the gym: 1) A back extension machine (a regular one...not the crappy you have to push with your hands one you have now) and get a second pec deck machine (it's the most used piece of equipment in the gym and people are always stacked up waiting for it while a ton of the equipment around it is almost never used). I've asked for another pec deck several times before over the years. I've never belonged to a gym that did not have two at the same time. I love the YMCA. I love the staff. Just an awesome place. But I wish you focused a bit more on the gym equipment and on member needs there.
So many great programs to choose from. Wonderful staff. Affordable. Nearby.
The Y has great programs for people of all ages. I enjoy coming to the Y.
I would not recommend until it’s completion, because the remodel has dramatically changed our enjoyment of getting the exercise we need. Would suggest the women's dressing rooms be re-thought before taking this unit to use in any other Y undergoing a serious remodel!!!! Since they did not consider putting tiny place to the left of each shower stall for individuals to complete their dressing and there is such demand on at least one or two days each week, perhaps a sign that says, “be courteous, and consider doing most of your dressing in the general area as well as practicing reasonable shower time when other others are waiting” might help for now.
Three generations of my family have been attending for 25 plus years. The people I’ve met and shared with at the Y, including the staff, I consider my extended family.
The machines are way too close together.
The Y is fully staffed with people who are trained and experienced. It has plenty of classes I enjoy and a very good variety of exercise equipment.
Our YMCA has construction so it is not super clean. No problem.
I love the YMCA
Need newer weight lifting equipment
Easily accessible - staff is great
The facility is great for all of my exercise needs. Staff is very helpful.
Great swimming 🥽 lessons at a reasonable rate.
I'll wait until the Wellness Center is renovated to comment. You just upgraded the back 'green' area and that's one area I'll be watching as well as the rest of the floor.
Fortunately I looking forward to coming Y each week!
Love my aquatics and silver sneaker classes!
The variety of the facilities is great. The space overall is clean and comfortable, location convenient, atmosphere overall is welcoming and professional.
The John Geigle Y does not cut corners. It is efficiently run, the staff is pleasant and the variety of classes -from yoga to Body Pump. There is something for every age group and fitness level. If you're taking a class for the first time, this is certainly the place to do it. The instructors are trained and professional and always welcome clients. There is a sense of true camaraderie in the air. and I feel "at home" when I walk into the lobby. In addition, management is not afraid to try new ideas, and they will support member causes if the programs align.
Really like group fitness classes
I like the fitness classes and the instructors are all great!
About 5 years ago, I participated in the indoor cycling classes. Loved them. They were offered 2x a week at 10:40 AM. They discontinued the times because they wanted to fill up the big room with classes that accommodated more people.
I’m wondering if the new addition will allow for more cycling classes that would be offered at a later time. Most are now before 7:30 AM or Sundays. I prefer classes after 9:30. I’m also not able to attend evening classes or Sunday. Thank you.
I just love my Y. I have made several good women friends at the Silver Sneaker classes.
The staff always get subs for the classes if the regular instructor is out.
This is my second home!!❤️
Such pleasant staff...awesome instructors and friendly workout atmosphere!
Patrons more often than not continue to sit, text and occupy equipment for a time period that well exceeds rest periods between sets. The sign that was temporarily put up was helpful but soon forgotten after it was removed. I also would not recommend to anyone to go to the gym after the East Lake High School bell as the gym turns into a school yard. Equipment is sometimes occupied by a group of 3-4 students who socialize and for some reason stand around watching their friends on their exercise routine, rather than continuing with their own work out. Not everyone has the luxury to wait for 30 minutes to get on one piece of equipment.
See below for staff.
Love the classes, weight room, pickleball and the atmosphere. Thank you.
Please stop spraying chemicals into the air at timed intervals. It makes me feel sick and bothers my allergies and breathing. Thank you
Attending classes at this facility is always an uplifting and positive experience. Instructors and staff are friendly, helpful, and eager to share their knowledge.
