What do you like about our programs and activities?

YMCA of Southwest Florida offers a tremendous variety of exercise classes and not just once a week like some YMCA's. There are also a lot of good times for classes. There are so many good things to do, so many choices. I can't do them all, so I have my favorites.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love water aerobics but I refuse to go on Monday and Wednesday with Eliana. She is not a water aerobics instructor and more people I know are stopping going on those days. Otherwise we have great attendance other days. We all love Tasha and Melissa does an okay job and we have fun on Fridays with her. But Eliana is not at all a good instructor and she doesn't communicate with the class.

I'm disappointed that they got all new equipment and some is very different from previous -- especially upstairs. I was working out regularly but they changed I was hesitant because I didn't know how I used them. I wish they would give 'free' instruction on how to operate them.

Thanks.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

We absolutely love our local YMCA. It’s so much more than just a gym — it truly feels like a community. The facility is clean, well organized and welcoming for all ages and fitness levels. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help, whether you’re new or a long-time member.

The adult programs are excellent, with a wide variety of classes, well-maintained equipment and options for strength training, cardio and overall wellness. There’s something for everyone, from beginners to those looking for a good challenge.

What really stands out are the kids’ programs. The YMCA offers amazing opportunities for children to stay active, build confidence and learn teamwork in a safe and supportive environment. The instructors are patient, caring and truly invested in the kids’ growth and well-being.

We appreciate how the YMCA focuses not only on physical fitness, but also on healthy habits, character and family values. It’s a place where both adults and kids can grow, stay active and feel supported. Highly recommend to any family looking for a positive, well-rounded fitness and community experience.
