Love the YMCA now re than ever with such a diverse selection of programs and activities for all age groups. With such heavy usage I think it is time to renovate and expand the facility.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love body pump with Rebecca. The only issue is the size of class means I can't get it too often.

I. have danced with the Dynamic Dance group since it started. It seems to be growing with more new members. We need more classes to Punta Gorda, One class a week is inadequate.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I appreciate the variety of class offerings and the schedule works fairly well for me as a retired person. Instructors are friendly and offer modifications as needed in class. I like that the Y addresses not just the physical needs of the individual, but also the social and psychological. Consider offering adult learn to swim classes and another Livestrong session for cancer survivors nd their caretakers.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the programs for the older adults for mobility and strength. Lunch and learn, the speakers have been great. I always walk away with new information. Rose has done a nice job in bringing a wide range of speakers on various topics. The employees are so friendly and helpful, making sure you have what you need. I am very pleased with becoming a member of the Y in January 2026.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like that the Y has a variety of classes. I can usually get a reservation for most of them. However, the Les Mills Bodypump offered MWF @ 7:00 & 9:00 appears to be the most popular & difficult to get a reservation. Often there are not enough weights for the amount of attendees. This is probably due to the increase of population in the winter months. I am more interested in a weight lifting program 3days a week and will probably seek out a different facility next season.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

We enjoy the Yoga with Camille. Also the gym for circuit training and the pool. However, recently the pool has been much to warm for lap swimming. It’s been noted many less lap swimmers lately, likely due to same.
