Member Testimonials

I’ve been coming to classes almost exclusively for several months, I take on average 8 a week.

One thing that I want to bring to your attention that is incredibly frustrating, I’ve noticed it mainly at Steve M’s classes but people show up incredibly early to reserve a bike then don’t actually come to class until 5-10 minutes before it starts. This morning myself and another gentleman got here a little over 30 minutes early for class and every bike was already reserved but only one person was actually in the room. Is it not fair to those of us who show up and are ready to actually get ready for class to not be able to. Steve does nothing about it. The one lady who was in there told us how one person was a maybe on attending but reserved a bike in case they want to attend- thus making it unavailable to us because we wouldn’t know until class starts if we can even attend. Last week I also got here 30 minutes early for Steve M’s class and got the last available bike, when the “reserved bikes” didn’t fill up until soon before class starts when Steve had to turn people away who were early.
This just does not feel fair and it is worth bringing to your attention.

I also want to brag on Emily and Nina, I love their classes! I love how Emily always changes things up and keeps it fun and new. I love that Nina has us do things for several weeks to allow us to get good at the exercises. Both instructors make it a point to remember names of people who come often and remember things you tell them! Overall I love the YMCA and love the classes

The staff is amazing! The equipment and cleanliness of the building.

I love the Body Pump classes! Tami and Karen lead excellent classes and they make me feel so welcomed! I also like that you have increased the parking time to 4 hours!

I wish the pool was larger, but I don't think that is a change you'll be able to make anytime soon. I would also like to see earlier classes on Saturday, specifically Body Pump. Also, I would like to see the heavier weight version of Body Pump. There was the one trial class a few Saturdays ago, but no classes since.

I really like the additional fitness room upstairs but the free floor space is limited. I feel in the way and/or cramped when I'm warming up, cooling down, and doing mat work. Is there a way to rearrange some of the areas upstairs to create more open floor space outside of the walkways?

I love my Monday and Wednesday class with Nina. She is fun, positive and has a great sense of humor that I enjoy. She pushes her older clients to stay mobile and fun

Great classes and friendly people !

Since the expansion, I like the new equipment and extra space.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emily H at Spin is amazing! Her music is always on point—perfect energy, great transitions, and she really knows how to match the vibe of the class. She makes every ride fun and motivating, and I always leave feeling energized and happy. You can tell she puts a lot of thought into her playlists and coaching. Highly recommend her classes!

I have been a member since the early 70’s, when I was home for summer vacations l worked at the Y, back then the program was solid, well put together and now with all the modern technology it stands at the forefront of family, community health and fitness.

I love that the YMCA is a Christian based organization. I know I can go to the Y and the facility will be a clean, safe, healthy place for my family and friends to gather and spend time together building healthy habits and healthy lives while establishing healthy relationships with like minded individuals. Thank you for all you do to preserve this vision. :0)

Great classes, teachers and people are all friendly. Love the large windows in the classrooms to not make you fill boxed in. You become relaxed as soon as you go through the doors!

Do wish they had cheaper family fees for those over 65. $72 is too high!!

Plenty of well kept gym equipment to use!!

The variety of equipment and the cleanliness of the facilities are to be commended; coupled with the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff make the YMCA a perfect please to practice a healthy lifestyle and achieve personal goals

I'm working with Nina, one of the personal trainers. She knows what exercises I need to do and which machines to use to help me reach my health and fitness goals.

I just use the pool and locker room, so not using any programs.

I love the group classes! Bodypump, BodyBalance, Yoga, dance!

The PD classes are great for PD customers. The addition of Holley and Kimber is a plus.

The pickle ball sessions could use some organization.

Aqua classes and equipment upstairs

Lap lanes are available always.
Have bigger and better HOW TO DO CIRCLE SWIMMING on floor plackards at pool

Steam room & sauna are clean and hot.

Work out rooms are vacuumed and cleaned (small rooms need more attention) :)

Friendly responsive staff

Many options.

Convenience of location

The Y has terrific hours, a friendly staff, and lots of ways to exercise, from basketball to swimming to stationary bikes to free weights. Its never crowded, so I almost never have to wait for someone to finish an exercise before I can start that same exercise.

private swim

I mostly use the upstairs weight equipment, and I find it to be user-friendly and clean. I’ve also attended some yoga classes, which were easy for a beginner to follow.

Great and spacious workout rooms and great exercise machines and weights. Everything needed to stay and get in shape and keep the heart ticking. Showers also included plus lockers for personal items.

Senior fit classes, gym

The exercise and pool facilities; the classes

I would like to suggest that some type of notice be posted in the gym area to remind people not to tie up equipment using their phones to talk/text while sitting on equipment.

Many members have a limited amount of time to spend in the gym. Time and again, I see people just sitting on the equipment talking or texting while others wait for them to get up so the next person can use.

Great facilities, group classes, and very friendly staff. I am very thankful for our local Pensacola YMCA as well as the benefits of the national network when I travel.

Well equipped great programs and people who work there very friendly and helpful

I love all the senior fitness programs and swim programs. It is great! The instructors are awesome and the facility is five star!
