Member Testimonials

I like the people there everybody's friendly

Facility is always clean. Class instructors are friendly and take the time to get to know your name and face and make sure to greet you when joining group fitness. Love the pool area offering both a sauna and steam room. Love the pickleball as well!

The water temp in the small pool seems to be working better. Lets just hope with cold winter temp coming on, they might, I hope, management might think about the comfort of us older members who need warmer water temp so we can enjoy our daily pool work out...

Broad variety of activities for all ages (kids, adults, seniors).

Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their respective programs. Equipment and facilities are all top notch and well maintained. The only critiques/requests I would offer is to fix the TV in the far back corner of the weight/cardio area and get another curl bar.

Love the staff - everyone is pleasant and helpful!! Great facilities, everything we need is there. It's a pleasure to come in and work out.

Lots to choose from.

Bodypump and group spin class. I just cannot change, commute from West Pensacola, find parking and get to classes by 5:30p

Lots of classes to classes to chose from and the people are super friendly.

Great, clean facility, plenty of class options, friendly staff.

Classes, people, convenience

Swimming

Facilities are clean and staff are friendly.

The availability of different classes and the times.

Everything!

Initially four visits very positive. Great staff, good physical plant, well maintained. Needs more treadmills. Coffee bar a huge plus. Parking arrangement is ideal.

Just joined, and delighted with congeniality of employees, ease of checking in and parking - also love the lockers, coffee, and diversity of facilities. Only improvement could be more treadmills - nearly always full to capacity - clearly a huge demand for THAT.

Plenty of equipment

Haven’t tried and programs or activities yet.

Pool steam room and sauna

My daughter loves the after school program. She has lots of fun.

I really enjoy the gym and amenities at the Pensacola Y! Staff is always very friendly and I have enjoyed my membership there over the past few months since I joined. I particularly loved going to the dry sauna and started going when directly after it was renovated. Although, I love going to the Y and will go out of my way to go even if I only have time for the sauna, I feel that both the wet and dry saunas are not very well cleaned. The sauna is a very big part into why I enjoy my membership at the Y, but I have been disappointed in how often it is cleaned and maintained. I have seen many times fellow members clean the floors of the sauna or do different things to make the sauna a cleaner place, but I haven’t seen Y employees do the same. I’m sure that Y employees clean these facilities after hours or perhaps during the day even, but I still feel that it is not cleaned enough. I know that many other members feel the same way and for the cost of the membership, I feel that it is fair to ask that these saunas should be cleaned much more frequently. I even think that the sauna could be closed for 15-30 minutes for cleaning throughout the day would be fine. Again, I enjoy my membership at the Y and especially enjoy the saunas, but the dry sauna in particular has been a little dirty and smelly and could use some additional and frequent cleaning. Thanks!!

We have our go-to organizations we support, especially over Christmas, so I had not planned on a donation this Christmas season to the Y. However, after recently being deeply touched by a lonely senior who sat in the locker room chatting with a person who took the time to hear her story of a very rough upbringing -- but she had such a grateful heart looking ahead -- it totally touched my heart. And THEN I was reminded why I love the Y SO MUCH. You include and encourage people from all walks of life, young, old, disabilities or not, to walk in your door and be at home no matter what their fitness levels are because it's an encouraging environment. (I'm not sure she ever worked out, but the company was such a blessing to her, and she was an unexpected blessing to me and the young lady that took the time to listen to her story.) Thank you, YMCA!!

Cleanliness of the facility
Friendliness of the staff

Friendly Staff and great amenities.

I like the "Core and More" and "Kettle Bell" classes taught by Nina. There's a core group of participants. We're very loyal and very appreciative for our fitness.

Love Fabienne’s Body Pump class, pickleball and the pool.

I like the pool. The lap pool needs to be warmer.

The variety of classes and the kidzone!

The Y is very well run with helpful and attentive staff. The facilities are first rate and provide a complete and comprehensive package of activities and programs suited to all ages. Clean and well maintain
