Member Testimonials
Only have used the pools. So far I've been there six times. If they would mix up the music outside and not play only country music, that would be nice. Beautiful place.
I like location and very friendly staff
Wonderful staff. Great selection of classes. Clean facility. Good childcare. Great for the entire family.
My daughter always enjoys camp. The times also work better for me with my work schedule.
I especially like the group classes as they motivate me to reach further and press harder.
I want to attend Spin Classes.
There are numerous days and times from which to choose
The schedule allows me to find a class that fits my schedule
great people, clean
I enjoy the people-both members and employees are kind, respectful and helpful. I get frustrated with the lack of cleanliness some days. There is no cleaning on weekends and sometimes the smell is awful. I have been told we are due for renovations but it’s been 5 years since I started to hear that but some things really need to be addressed.
So people are good but building is aging and neglected.
Great pool, clean and comfortable environment. The staff is friendly and listen when you speak with them. I love it.
Friendly and quick service and good facilities.

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?
Megan is an amazing leader! The kids have so much fun they cannot wait to go there everyday.
It is clean, friendly, and organized.
