Beautiful Facility, Very Clean, Great Programs for Adults & Kids, Many Work Out Options

We are retired seniors that want to stay active and appreciate the variety of classes geared to maintaining our strength, support our cardio, and help with flexibility

Friendly, clean and fun, the Y is a great place to play and make new friends!

Facilities, programs, staff and Y’s mission to help the needy and build community are greatly appreciated,

Love all the new machines, but I'm not familiar with some of them and pray I'm not doing it wrong.
Makes me feel good to work out at the Y

Well kept nice staff

I miss using the e-gym. It’s an important part of my workout when I’m back home.

The moment you walk to the front desk, everyone is Disney world positive. The lifeguards are great, friendly and attentive. The locker room is always clean and the lap pool is well maintained. If you can't already tell, I'm a fan.

Thrilled to have these sports programs. My daughter loved it and we have since recruited nearly all her close friends and have several “seasons”/sessions under our belt! Would love to see some time spent on learning the language, scoring rules and actual rules of the game in addition to the skills which have been great and are only growing stronger. It’s evident that “coach” is listening to feedback and strengthening the program.

Nice gym, nice people. I can accomplish what I come for. But people really need to stay off their phones and tie up the equipment.

I have only been to the gym twice since joining,however, I have been unsuccessful in getting registered for any bodypump class. A member told me that people just sign up and then don’t show up. I hope that is not the case. I am a member of a Lifetime gym in Colorado. If you sign up for a class and do not cancel two hours prior you get three chances.. then you are suspended from group fitness for two weeks. It almost totally eliminates this problem. No excuses, you get three chances within a month period. Then your chances start again the next month. Of course there are legitimate reasons.. but again the response is.. you have three chances.

Welcoming, clean, good for you in several ways - what's not to like?!?

Would be a ten but there are two critical pieces of inexpensive equipment you're missing: 1. A place to just hang from a bar, recommended by all the fitness experts, but there is not a single place in your facility. 2. No boxes for box jumps. While I'm 72 years old, I always do box jumps at L.A. Fitness, but you only have the small square one. It would not be safe for me to use it. You need the soft-sided ones, and you need. one that's just 10 inches. All the experts are focusing on plyometrics, the great value of jumping. When I was in PT a year ago, he had me jumping off a box to aid my knees.

I can no longer drive so I depend on my son in law (who is great). I am working on getting into a routine with the water exercising and then maybe trying other programs. I have missed being active and the Y staff made it easy to join. The cold has stopped me momentarily but I will start again next week. It is the easy and welcoming way that instructors and other members make it to participate that is so helpful.

I've been a Member of the YMCA for many decades in several different States. The YMCA (Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association) was a place you could go to that honors Christ with mind, body and spirit. The YMCA has fallen way out of touch with having anything to do with spirituality or Christ. I would consider the YMCA today as being more Liberal and "Woke" then having anything to do with Christianity. The YMCA originally being a Christian Organization is what made it different than other Health or workout facilities. As a matter of fact, I've heard a staff member at the Greater Palm Harbor YMCA mention that Religion and Christianity are the problem in our Country. And I thought, "Wow, you're working in the wrong place then"........ I would be willing to bet, if any of the Directors told any of the staff that they should promote Christianity as the foundation of the Greater Palm Harbor YMCA, I'm sure some of them would sue the Y as a hostile work environment.

Classes are too crowded. There is an artificial smell air freshener that keeps coming on during class that is a chemical makes me nauseated and hard to breath.

The Greater Palm Harbor youth basketball program is lacking in coaches. It is unfair to the young athletes to sign up for a sport and not have consistent coaching.Very disappointing and unacceptable. Many of the kids are on their own as the older teenagers that are present are not involved with coaching at all. They sit on their phones and talk amongst themselves during practices and games. I don't know if they are teen volunteers or paid employees, but they are of very little benefit to the athletes. Please do better and hire coaches if needed. The parents pay for the experience for their children and the athletes are there because they want to learn, play and have fun. You can't rely solely upon parents/guardians to coach. Hire coaches if needed.

Terrible unorganized program. Having teenagers who know little to nothing about basketball.

The Palm Harbor Y is a great facility.

The only drawback is how busy the workout room is most of the time with one or, maybe, two machines of each kind (except barbells, bikes, and treadmills).

i believe it is very important to excercise, the Y is great for that

I think the Y is a wonderful organization. I only visit the Suncoast Y during the month of February (snowbird). I do get my exercise done but it doesn't seem like there is a good socializing spot like there is at some Ys.

First class operation. Happy to recommend!

I'd recommend with the caveat that some classes are too full to get into or enjoy due to crowding, and you have to pay attention to changes in schedules.

See maintenance comments below. Instructors are good and other staff friendly and helpful, but classes sometimes crowded.
