Great group ex classes
Because they have a variety of programs available to seniors. They have a special program for people with Parkinsons and have a support group. The equipment is first rate and the staff is dedicated and professional. The Aquatic swim classes and aerobics are helpful. It is nice to know that you will be with like minded people with the same goals. Overall it has benefitted our family.
I think the YMCA is a venerable institution and that the Bob Gilbertson Center upholds the ideals of the YMCA very well. The center has been around for a long time, but the facility and, most especially, the staff have kept up with and exceeded expectations for a family-centered activity center. The gym equipment and pool facilities are well-maintained. There are activities for people of all ages, from young children to geriatrics. I know this because I am a
In the latter category and often attend the center with my 7 year old granddaughter. She and I both love to use the pool. We tend to do more laughing than swimming, but come home to nap afterwards. She and I have both had swimming lessons from the skilled, and extremely patient aquatics staff. There are classes available for all ages…and you can learn life saving skills like CPR there. Overall, the Bob Gilbertson “Y” is an asset to this community that requires and needs the support of this community.
I take the Silver Sneakers classes and really like them and have recommended them to many other seniors for helping with strength and flexibility
I like the group section, the one to one section and the teachers are amazing
The people are friendly and the Silver Snearkers class is good
Good family friendly atmosphere with friendly staff.
I have a recommendation for the New Tampa YMCA.
On Sundays it gets so crowded in the pool that long course ends up getting congested.
So much pool space is wasted as families, lessons, etc clog up one side of the pool and the deep end is vacant but because it’s long course that space isn’t utilized.
Is there a way, especially in summer when so many families are present, to go short course on Sundays?
That way the families and lessons can inhabit the shallow end and we swimmers can utilize the deep end and spacing is much more efficient and effective.
Thoughts?
