I always feel welcome when I enter the YMCA. I also feel rhe energy of the instructors is contagious! Thank you for always welcoming my husband and I who have been seasonal members for 6 years.
The silver sneakers classes on M,W,F at noon are way too crowded. With snowbirds here, as a local resident I have to be at the classes a half hour early. Also, one of the instructors needs to turn the music on and talk less during the exercises.
I like the whole experience, the programs they offer, the Y itself; but, most of all it's the wonderful staff and other Y members who make the real difference. Thank You
I have attended this Y for a dozen years. I have had many great friends and staff and directors who inspired me to recommend it but find that my exposure to an adult fitness class has made me reevaluate of how much I would recommend it.
Love Wilda’s SS classes and chair yoga!
Great classes pool gym kids programs one problem yoga class is too small for the 40-50 people in Monday and Friday classes
I'm taking the Enhanced Fitness class, which is a somewhat regimented class which requires our attendance, as a opposed to just showing up when you can. When I first started the class several years ago, the instructors were skilled in what & how the class was to be taught, at which time, I encouraged many of my friends to attend. Now, it seems they (the Y) don't really care whether the instructors know the guidelines or not. We are told that we are not to miss more than 9 classes or we may be ineligible to attend the next 16 week class and should make an effort to attend, but with some of the instructors (which tend make up their own routine), many of us feel like it's not worth the effort to come to class. For example, we can "march in place" at home. I know Enhanced Fitness has guidelines for their program, as it should, but other than Dominique, who explains why it's important to do a particular exercise and why it's important to do it right as opposed to what happens when you do it wrong. I think that if we are encouraged to make the effort to come to class, that the Y should make an effort to have trained instructors to teach such a class.
Lots of offerings
All brand new equipment, easy check in, lots of parking.
I love the coffee, my friend and I love to sit at the table have a nice cup of coffee
I really enjoy the classes offered at the Y. The only problem I have is there are two many people in the class rooms. People can’t spread out. They’re on top of each other.
I have had to get weights from another room and I’ve gotten rude comments from other classmates that don’t want to share space.
Best bang for your buck when it comes to gym membership. Good program offerings, well equipped facilities and friendly staff. I also like the fact that I have access to use of facilities at other YMCA locations when traveling out of the area
The Y has great equipment and many classes that I enjoy.
The classes are to full. I don’t think the Y should take on any more people.
I like the new machines
Other places are cheaper and have saunas. Classes are often full so not a lot of options
Parking great + pool warm. Perfect.
great
The Y has lots of great classes and very helpful staff.
Silver sneakers classes are too crowded. Need more classes.
I’m referring to the center on 16th street in Palm Harbor. Since you updated the gym, it seems to be extremely crowded. I can’ always get a machine when needed. Also people sit on machines on their phones for long periods of time holding up the machine not allowing others to use it. It is your responsibility to stop that!
The machines are clean. The staff is amazing. The classes are absolutely the best with many different choices.
I do not like your new elliptic machine, loved the old ones. Why does your new tricep/bicep equipment start out with such a heavy weight?
verity of classes in the early morning, with great instructors
We entered the Y to join for a month under Silver Sneakers. The woman at the desk could not have been friendlier or more efficient. Much appreciated and makes our attendance at the Y so much easier die to quick check in.
