Member Testimonials
I thoroughly appreciate my experience at the YMCA. The) classes offered are not only enjoyable but also can be socially engaging, if desired. The variety of claslses caters to a diverse set of interests and preferences. The location of the facility is exceptionally convenient, and the staff is consistently warm and friendly. The pool, steam room, and sauna are not intimidating to use. The facility is clean, ensuring a comfortable, enjoyable, and safe environment. The YMCA strikes a wonderful balance between recreation and community, making it an outstanding choice for those seeking a community fitness center.
I really like the gym and the staff is very friendly. I do however have 2 complaints. I come in to enjoy the steam room for medical reasons. There are LOTS of members coming into steam and either dousing cold water onto the thermostat or bringing in cold bottles of water and sticking the bottles into the cage of the thermostat. There are men and women of all ages doing this. Most of them are coming in and out of the pool for quick warm-ups. When the thermostat breaks it causes problems of outages for all of us. Can this not be dealt with, monitored better or something? One lady said one day that if anyone told on her it wouldn't matter because the life guards knew her and wouldn't say anything to her diirectly. She scolded one guy in there for telling the life guard and was making fun of him in front of other people in the steam room. He left and I haven't seen him back. This is NOT fair to those of us that like and need it.
Nice instructions very helpful and caring….
We love the YMCA

Everything
Our family is still pretty new to the YMCA. But so far we have all been enjoying it. We haven't had a chance to take advantage in the programs or activities yet.
The people, trainers,staff . The classes the equipment.
The convenience and the programs. Nena teaches a great noon class twice a week. My time at PT upstairs with Dr. Tom was also a highlight
The small rec pool needs to be maintain so that the water temp is warm for us older members. Currently the temp is good, but replacement parts need to keep on hand so that not like few weeks ago, the rec pool was closed because replacement parts were not available, the pool water temp was tooooo cold to be used by anyone for two weeks.
The classes and clean environment

THANK YOU for expanding the PICKLEBALL hours! :-)
Swimming Instructors are awesome
I love the group fitness classes. Doesn't matter what time of day I can get there, all the teachers are engaging and inviting.
Family oriented. It would be nice to have some sun shades for the morning sun.
I love all of the programs and classes that are offered especially spin!
hours of availability
I like that there are so many workout options from swimming in a very nice pool, participating in a variety of classes and/or working out with free weights or machines.
Great, but with they’d bring back kick boxing aerobic class!
I like your facility because you have a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and for fun a big pool slide. Also workout classes are included with the membership. A plus for parents a supervised daycare. A second floor with free weights and workout equipment. My favorite space besides the pool area is the gym with basketball courts and volleyball courts. Which I have played several games on.

The Y has a very wide range of programs that would appeal to people of all ages and abilities. It is an outstanding contributor to the quality of life in Pensacola.
This past year has been my first year as a YMCA member. The Pensacola YMCA has been such a blessing in my life. It is a beautiful facility and the staff is great there. I am hooked and plan to be a member forever.
Michelle the cleaning/maintenance gal keeps the locker room in top shape. Besides having such a great personality she is constantly busy cleaning and never stops. Always a smile on her face and a delite to see when I am there.
I enjoy both Michelle and Tammy in the senior fit classes. Both instructors keep us moving and in good shape. I get out of Michelle and her sense of humor. She's a hoot. Every class is different so you never know what we will be doing. Besides doing aerobics she is also working out brain with thinking of what to do with out arms while are feet are doing something else. Always stepping it up.
On September 15 & September 22, Rachel filled in for Tammy. She seemed to be teaching at a level much higher of movement than we had been use to. We were all struggling a bit to TRY to keep up. Also someone new teaching some different moves that we weren't use to. Don't get me wrong, I think it was GREAT! Speaking for myself it was good to really step it up and push myself to try to reach up to that higher goal. I would give her a score of A+++. She is fantastic! I am going to seek out her other classes that she teaches so I can learn more from her. I asked others in the class what they thought of her, and they all liked her.
They work around my schedule
The Parkinson’s boxing program is 1st class. Amazing energy!
Friendly & professional staff that genuinely enjoy helping people. Beautiful facility.
I absolutely love the YMCA. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.
The gym is always very clean and the childcare is excellent.
They could really use a second squat rack, it is occupied a lot of the time and can make planning your workout challenging.
I only use the weightlifting area and shoot baskets in the gym occasionally so I don't have any comments about the programs or activities.
