What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the TRX class at Sarasota but it is getting very crowded and it is hard to squeeze too many in because of the equipment. You have to come early and people fight over spots.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Love your group classes. Your instructors Janet, Kim and Lara (they usually teach body pump and Pilates) are amazing. I really like how your classes are drop in and you don’t have to sign up. ( have a busy schedule and don’t always know ahead of time when I can make a class.)

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Overall, I’m happy with the Y. I wish the air conditioning worked better, it’s always too warm on the gym floor.
One suggestion I have would be to mount a couple of those giant ceiling fans like you see in many gyms. I don’t see this as anything that you couldn’t afford and there’s no maintenance or expense once they are installed.
Also, if it’s in the budget, a once a week snack for the members would be nice. Or even if you put out some of the sweets and bakery items that you get from Publix instead of keeping them all in the office.

Toms classes. But getting toooo big. Need to add another sit n fit and another Primetime for middle age and up.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

There’s something for everyone at the Y. There’s so many classes for people. It’s not just classes. For example, there is Pickleball. The workout area has a wide range of machines to accommodate the members. There are also many cardio options for workouts. Also it is a very friendly and social place. And you can’t say enough about the staff there, they are so accommodating.
