I enjoy the fitness classes, however they are over crowded. I suggest making some changes…either allow less people to participate, use larger rooms or add more classes. Please don’t tell me that it’s because the snow birds are back. If that’s the case, you should be prepared for that to happen every year and to make the changes needed for everyone to participate and enjoy the YMCA. It’s not fair to cram as many people as possible into a room.
It's a well rounded place to get a great workout. But I've now had to quit Body Combat (my favorite class) because it's too loud. The new sound system (which is wonderful when used correctly) has been the final straw. The instructors ask during the first song if the sound is ok, then continually turn it up as the class goes along. Conveniently, the "noise meter" has been disconnected for some time so we can't tell exactly how loud it gets. One of the other ladies had to leave early Wed (Feb 11) because even after taking out her hearing aids and putting in earplugs, it was too much. I use earplugs too but it's not enough. The Y should be a place of health and wellness yet our hearing is regularly and consistently ignored. I am aware that others have complained, I've complained before myself, but there has been no change made (that isn't maintained over time).
Love my group clases, the instructors are excellent, my favorite class is Zumba with Nancy on Mondays at 11am, makes me happy.
Super clean, even with the construction!
This Y is very well managed and considers all members with very high standards. The gym associates are very helpful and friendly, and keeps the gym clean and in order. Also, the music volume is not extremely loud which makes working out more enjoyable and stress free (unlike the Palm Harbor Y which plays so loud that one can’t hear through our own earphones).
The class instructors are awesome and words cannot say enough to show gratitude.
It’s an excellent facility. Clean and well run.
I like the clean atmosphere, I will recommend it to my neighbor I want her to come with me, but I do wish the main exercise room was a little bigger, and that it would at least stay open until 10.PM
I love coming to the Y. It’s part of my daily routine.
Enjoy the atmosphere and the facility is top notch.
Classes need to have a capacity limit! They are overcrowded which make it impossible to get the appropriate equipment needed for the class
Great instructors and it looks like the facilites will be much improved once the upgrades ae complete
The St Pete branch has more offerings like a sauna
The staff is very friendly, helpful, and knowledeable. There are enough exercise machines so that waiting is minimal on busy days.
There is a Saturday body pump class that had often run over (Cameron is the instructor) into the Zumba class. I spoke with Nick and Kari about this while the class is finally ending on time there is always the clean up left yoga mats, weights and people lingering in the middle of the room while we are trying to warm up for Zumba. I believe it is Camerons responsibility to encourage her class to clean up after themselves. The average age of the Zumba class is 70 plus. We would not want one of these ladies to fall and hurt themselves. It is the disrespect from this class and only this reason why I give this review. Everyone else is wonderful. Note add a cardio drumming on Sat the class is popular and there is always a wait.
Everyone is made to feel at home and staff is always ready to help.
I find the Y to be a clean and positive environment. I am grateful amd excited to get back to my physical and mental wellness.
The Tai Chi class is wonderful. I also like Cardio Drumming. The staff is always friendly.
The staff is marvelous--kind, friendly and knowledgeable. It is a great experience to come to the Y. The facility upgrades are super and ongoing, again, a great thing. For us it is so convenient to come, as we live about a mile a way. We feel blessed grateful for this.
friendly helpful staff, nice equipment, convenient location.
Every time I go to the YMCA I feel great. Enjoy every minute I'm there.. The people are very friendly.
Friendly staff, great classes and caring instructors
The John Geigle Y has a great staff, fabulous group fitness classes with exceptional instructors. There is a state of the art workout room. The facility is kept clean and it is well organized.
Staff has always been friendly, helpful and efficient.
I just think the John Geigle Y has so much to offer - great classes and instructors, friendly people, and a positive atmosphere. The Y team supports members' efforts and activities, and it makes me feel like I' m part of a warm and wonderful community.
I always get a warm welcome when I visit or if I have questions about a particular class.
Very clean. Friendly and extremely helpful staff.
Staff is always friendly, welcoming and helpful.
Great classes! Would love more 12lb weights in group fitness!
like everything except that you need a bathroom closer to the weight/work out area.
i would like two more bikes and for the fans overhead to not run so high.
Best thing I did, was join the YMCA, after being a new Florida resident!
Facility exercise rooms, children’s area, and bathrooms are always clean and fresh.
Staff is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable and will go out of their way to assist you. You can start a new program and other members are usually smiling and helping you to feel welcome.
Everyone from checking in to instructors and employees at this YMCA are great!
The facility is always clean and the staff are so friendly
Have more Pilates and yoga classes specifically in the evening after work. Most of my fiends looking for something after work.
I give a 7 only because there are not enough classes at night for working people. A full time job is most of the time until 5 - very hard to get to 5:30 class; I have to ask my friends to set me up for the class … if they are not helping I can not make it. If I miss the 5:30 there are no other classes. No options for Thursdays or Fridays for working people. Please compare how many classes are at night at this Y with the Gills one. Will be nice to have 2 classes each night. I feel like working people are getting punished. There are a lot of options during the day.
Bring back cardio and other workout equipment instead of the free weights.
Good place
Susie’s class is so much fun while getting a good work out .
The staff is wonderful. My two teachers are Wendy in Fit for Life and Yoga, as well as Cathy in Taichi.
Wide variety of classes at all levels and my health insurance pays for my membership making it a very affordable option!
The staff that greeted me is always welcoming. The instructors are great and have good music. Many of us loved the speed and pace of the Zumba workout on Jan.1, especially. I hope in the future, that we can add that instructor’s workout and the increased pace to our weekly workouts.
Staff, classes and teachers are all great!
Enjoy exercise classes. Love Wendy and Kim.
Friendly staff, upgrades to the exercise equipment are great. Love the instructors who lead group classes. It is a great way to always have a way to move and stay active.
Staff is super and very supportive of our MASH group.
Cari runs a friendly, supportive organization focused on serving members. Love my Y.
I love the senior classes they offer. Just to get moving and stretching helps my body.
Good variety of classes & friendly people
Excellent welcoming facility.
