Member Testimonials
The staff is well trained and patience with my grandchildren with unique challenges. Firm and supportive are qualities they need and our family values. Special kudos to the staff at Alafia Elementary school YMCA after-school program - Ms. Jada and Team!
My kids love their YMCA teachers!
We LIVE Miss Jesse and Mr. Mekhi so much as well as the rest of the staff. So caring, fun, and I appreciate such great communication.
I highly recommend the Y because they are absolutely amazing with my son! The staff are caring, patient, and supportive, and they make him feel welcomed and encouraged. I truly appreciate the positive impact they’ve had on him and couldn’t be happier with our experience!
Ms. A and the team that manage the Heritage Elementary program do a great job of planning activities and keeping the kids engaged, as well as navigating difficult relationships between students and other behavioral problems. They reliably communicate any issues or concerns with parents, and I can always trust that my kids are being well taken care of.
My child has fun and always jumps in my car sweaty and dirty (not in a bad way) from all the playing and outdoor activities he is doing while there. If you ask him personally he will say he loves it there.
Great classes! Especially loving The Challenge, BodyPump, and all yoga and balance options! Everything is so popular it would be great to have more space!!!
Porque es vien para los niños y sedivierten tranquilamente
Nice people and clean. Cindy is so sweet
I have moved here from other state and very impressed with the South Tampa Y. This has lot of things to offer. Specially for seniors.
It has improved so much! Much more structured now!
The YMCA is the best!
So far, I am happy. My son enjoys the time he spends at BASE; they organize games for the children. It gives me peace of mind that it takes place at the school itself, so my son doesn’t have to travel anywhere else. I highly recommend it.
10/10. So grateful for the counselors at the Y and the patience they have with the children. They’re very energetic and caring that sometimes my children don’t want to leave the Y.
The front desk staff is always very friendly and welcoming, even at 5 am! I am really enjoying the morning body pump classes. Always lots of friendly faces, staff and members!
I've been attending water exercise class. My son keeps saying he needs to get back to the gym because he thinks it will help with his blood sugars. I suggested the Y.
I use the pool. The water and pool area are clean and well-kept.
The lifeguards are always on duty.
The staff at the front desk are welcoming and professional.
Thank you!

It's a great way to make sure my child is safe after school before I'm off work. It's convenient and Jessi is very kind and communicative.
Yes, My daughter is very happy at the Lake Magdalene YMCA. The staff are always attentive to her needs and make sure she is well cared for. They are very involved, attentive, and thoughtful in everything they do. I truly appreciate how much they care about her!
Isaiah and his team are very friendly and always have fun activities for the kids.

Mr. Isaiah and his team at Carrollwood K8 are wonderful with the kids, and my daughter has really enjoyed her third year in the YMCA aftercare at the school. I don’t feel guilty working and leaving her in their care for 2 or 3 hours because I know she’s having fun and is in a safe place that doesn’t tolerate bullying or trouble.
