Member Testimonials
so far I have no complant
The price is great for the value of everything offered. I love being a member. It makes before and after school care affordable and karate classes for my son accesible. I wouldn’t be able to put him in anything like this if I didn’t have the membership.
Body pump, core and kettlebells
Love that the pool is indoors, there are personal trainers available, everyone is nice. There are lots of different things to take part in.
I enjoy going to the various exercise classes that are offered.
Everything!!
I love the flexibility.
My life, five days a week, begins at the gym. Hello to the welcome staff and then off to get my exercise (yoga, classes with a combination stretch and strength and body pump to name a few). You can't find better instructors (Michelle, Fabienne, Lauren, Rachel). Upstairs my friends play pickleball with Jose' while I get on the treadmill and convince myself that I am running (which is usually a very slow jog). I do use the machines from time to time. Over the many years as a member I have met some people who are now my dearest friends. Then the inevitable...go to work. BTW I am 72 years old.
Everyone was very nice and helpful. Swam a bit to get some low/no impact exercise for my knee. A lot of activities and amenities I will be checking out in my future visits. Highly recommended!
I love all the classes I take at the YMCA! Thanks for the great programming and the happy staff!
Volleyball and pool activities are great. This Y is for everyone no matter what your financial situation is!!!!!
FOR ALL AGES
VARIETY
EXPERIENCED INSTUCTORS
SENIOR FOCUSED
Currently, I only use the Pickle-ball courts, but I know the Y has many other great exercise programs to enjoy as many of my friends do so!
Time and convenience
Good facility. Need to fix the pool schedules. There are only four lap lanes, and sometimes one or more of them are not available for lap swim. This leads to long waits for a spot in a lane, while others are occupying them instead of the small pool. Keep the lap lanes for lap swimming and keep non-lap swimming in the small pool, and we can avoid this unfortunate problem.
Swim Team/pool area
Music
Material Arts Class, very needy and what aerobic but all over a good vibe, friendly personal and always a good time.

Friendly staff
Everyone at the Y is very nice. The staff are committed to the members and go out of their way to be sure that we get what we need.
I only come for pickle ball, wish we had more time to play but love the people that I play with
The Pensaola YMCA offers everything that you need for a great workout in a comfottable environment. The patrons are willing to help each other out when needed and make a conscience effort to share machines and get along. Needing motivation and a set weekly commitment, I have benefited fom utilizing their trainers who are all well qualified and have an education background in fitness training. The fees are very reasonable and provide the workout that I need to stay in shape as I approach my 60's. Unlike some gyms I have utilized there is no intimidation or the feel of people using the gym as dating app. I feel that the environment is very accommodating to a stress free workout.
We enjoy the variety of classes, and the welcoming staff.
I like to go upstairs to exercise after noon when it is less crowded and you don't have to wait for equipment
Pickleball and swimming
I am fit for my age, thanks to the YMCA. Swimming three days a week boosts my fitness and gives me a great start to my day. My friends are swimming along with me, and the lifeguards are keeping us safe and happy.

I love the senior fitness class. It's a great workout. Pickleball has become a real passion and the Y is the place to play. Where else can you have fun, socialize and get fit all at one time. I've made so many great friends. The staff is caring, friendly and cooperative. Our senior fitness instructor Stacy is a gem. She is loved by all of us. The Y is an integral part of my health plan and my retirement goals! Keep up the great work!
