It depends on the wants and needs of my friend or family.
I’ve been using the water exercise programs and chair yoga for a few weeks. They help with back pains and mobility. The instructors are patient, caring, friendly and non-judgemental. Impressive facility.
The new gym equipment is awesome, much better than the original. Great value. The new floor, paint, and lights make it great.
Great facility, friendly, and helpful staff. Something for everyone here.
The gym has done a great improvement
Staff and overall appearance.
What a beautiful facility. Everyone is so nice and welcoming, The number of offered classes is excellent.
A very friendly and welcoming front desk staff. They are very helpful.
I joined mostly to do laps in the pool. However, it seemed to always be close for an event or group during the times I can get to the Y. Also, the EGYM is always crowded.
I would. My mother in law is living with us and I wish we could add her to our membership instead of her having to pay the 40 dollars a month. She is 79 and doesn’t what to do all the available activities but likes the gym part.
Love being part of the community and meeting new friends…especially the “mature” generation. We’re all trying hard to have a better, healthier life. A huge concern is the possibility that most of us that have Silver Sneakers might be dropped from our insurance.

Great club. Staff friendly & knowledgeable
The staff went above standard expectations, they were polite and attentive.
Everything the YMCA has to offer.
The e gym app is complicated. There needs to be a video on YouTube to help understand this e gym app
Its disappointing that us old people cant find the ability to evenly space workout station in the class rooms. I think it would be helpful to simehome have clear marking on the floor where to place the chairs.
The facilities are well kept
I believe that everyone of the team, has a genuine desire to help us stay as healthy as possible.
I love my water aerobic classes and their instructors.
As a fairly recent Citrus County retiree, the Y has been a fundamental asset to my community engagement.
The staff was awesome, and I like the way the ymca have programs for all ages.
New machines and a EGYM
Great variety of options for all ages. Accessible. Affordable.
The facility is always clean. The pool is wonderfun.
A Suggestion: PLS PLS - bring back the old or add a new "Pull Up Assistant" machine - the one where you step up and then use the counter weights in front of you to help you do pull-ups/chin-ups. I had made such GREAT progress towards the goal of eventually pulling up my full body weight of 115lbs. I was already at less than a 50% counter-weight assist. Now, it's so disappointing that I don't see any new machine that serves in that incredible function. There must be others who feel the same loss because that one machine often had a waiting line. PLS help us all with the one "fix". We will all be so grateful.
Other than that, the new equipment is top notch - although it takes some "getting familiar with" because even though many work similar to the old machines, the dynamics are slightly different, resulting in some initial minor discomfort.
And finally, the 2 PECOR machines that help with various types of stretches was on my "Wish List" ever since moving to Citrus County. My former "Y's" always had at least one. It's very helpful for warming up and cooling down! Thank you for helping me check this one off of my list!
I'm always telling people to check out the YMCA. It has become my home away from home.
A few things: the new gym equipment is beautiful. But, there were a few pieces of old equipment that were either not replaced or not sufficiently replaced. I really miss the sitting side lateral raise (the new standing one hurts my shoulders). And I believe there were 4 leg press machines prior to the remodel and now only two. That is a popular machine and likely needs more. I also miss the plate loaded decline bench press. It was easier on my shoulders than the flat or incline versions.
The new cardio equipment is great. I do wish the treadmills had fans. The new cable machine in the middle is a BIG improvement so thank you on that! The cable row was one of the hardest machines to get on before, so having two (plus more cable attachments) is wonderful.
Other suggestions: more overheard fans, lowering the temperature, and/or closing the blinds on sunny days. The gym gets very hot in my opinion, at least too hot for a gym. That would be my number 1 suggestion by far. Any time it is hot and sunny outside the gym is uncomfortably hot.
I use the pool for exercise and health maintenance. you need to create a survey for those of us with no kids as this survey is totally non-applicable and you continue to send the same survey out to me. There are many of us just like me who use this gorgeous pool for the same reasons as I. Please stop sending me a survey around children's use and swim instructors and send something relevant to those of us with ages over45.
I’ve already posted in multiple ASD social groups, mom groups, and to my own socials attesting to the success Citrus YMCA offers! Ms. Lillian is the sweetest, she is professional at every step, and my son’s safety is her main priority as soon as he enters the pool until he’s exiting the door. Amazing attention to detail. She’s just the best. The front desk staff a gentleman with glasses and a woman with tinsel in her hair are always hard at work too. They always address us at the door!
Sadly, the instructor was never taught how to teach us swimming lessons. She took a swim instructor test and was issued the instructor designation.
I have very often recommended the Y to friends. When family comes to visit I take them to the pool and everyone loves it.
The staff was super friendly and enthusiastic when I signed up. They seemed to be excited that I was joining and made me feel welcomed.
The staff is very helpful all the time. Genuinely concerned about the needs of members and does their best to answer questions and help.
Great, caring staff, hours, clean environment.
All new machines and pool
You need to add more classes in late afternoon/evening. When I miss out on a class due to a scheduling conflict, it's very hard to find another to make it up.
New equipment, the facility is clean, and the staff is friendly.
They were professional..an solved my problem o
I enjoy working out in the swimming pool and fitness center.
My visit to the Y is the high point of be my day.
I never fail to feel happy and energized after my Silver Sneakers classes, and I supplement it with yoga on the weekends.
The instructors are caring and motivated.
Very nice facility and staff!!
Clean, neat, love the wellness center (GYM)
The Body Pump class is the best as are Stacey, Amy and Natalie.
Beautiful Clean Facility
The new equipment is not friendly. There is no fan on tread mills. Placement of equipment seems jumbled.
The group class reservation system is a hassle. Not enough options so they fill up too fast.
Love the Silver Sneakers classes. My balance is much improved since going.
The atmosphere and the friends we have met
. The equipment is top notch...everything you get in your mote expensive gyms.
