Member Testimonials

great facility!

Great job turning the place around with the renovations! I only use the gym area and hardly noticed it was going on. Minor inconveniences, yes, but thanks guys for getting this done, and keeping the disruptions to the absolute minimum.

I primarily use the gym and pool, so can't speak to the other activities. I know the gym staff works hard to find the right configuration for the floor equipment, but the benches in front of the dumbell racks has created a very crowded situation. We could also use another incline bench :)

Training, group fitness classes, pool, steam room and sauna. Clean facility with great amenities.

Clean facilities and safe environment, love the indoor pool. The gym can be crowded at times though, but overall a good experience

I like everything about YMCA of NWF. Well maintained and staffed with very professional and helpful and courteous employees. The facilities are first rate and plentiful and clean and appealing.

The small pool

Working Family oriented.

Facilities are nice and clean. Nice staff

The support of the folks within the class community. Many of us catch a class when their schedule permits...I love the commoradity of the class. The instructors are wonderful and the classes offer challenging workouts for various levels of fitness.

Thank you for asking.

Classes with no pressure

I love the Thursday 7:00 am class Yogolites. And the 5:45am class on Friday with Karen is excelllent. I am retired but am will to get up and drive to Pensacola from Gulf Breeze to do it. I am looking forward to swimming.

The variety of classes and welcoming atmosphere.

Enjoy being able to bring my son to swim!

I love and appreciate your programs. I only wish therapy pool would be a little warmer for us fibromyalgia and arthritis people the YMCA has made a big difference in my life being able to keep active in the winter months with the pool.

The energy!!!

The women's locker room, bathroom and shower are absolutely filthy. Floors, walls, and tiles in the shower area have an unpleasant smell and are scummy. The drains are slow and water stands while showering. This is a huge bacteria breading ground. You need to hire quality professional cleaners to clean this place and keep it going.

pool & steam room

Fabienne's classes are awesome! She is the best instructor. I hope you pay her what she deserves, as she is a real leader and motivator and loyal to the Y. Cheryl Weir, Executive Coach

I truly love the aquatic programs, the best!!
One suggestion I have is to install grab bars in all shower stalls, not just accessible stalls.
The showers really are accidents waiting to happen.

Swimming laps

Just love the options.

I appreciate the improvement efforts and progress communication.

Staff is extremely friend facility is clean and a lot is offered for the monthly price. Better than any other gym. I love it’s for adults and kids definitely a family setting.

Nice facility, nice staff, great location.

First of all, the staff members at the front desk are always so cheerful and welcoming....love Rose and Trixie. Second, the instructors really care for the individuals in class, interact, make jokes and remind you about the correct techniques.---Christine, Kalie and funny Fabienne.
