Scripture tells us to take care of our body Because it is the temple of the Holy Spirit!
I’m a class person I try to make it about five times a week. Each class I do is very challenging. The instructors are awesome. I have met some wonderful friends there. I’m really enjoy the YMCA. I am a snow bird. I come from Louisville, Kentucky. I do belong to the Y there as well. when joining the Y here in Florida, I did ask for a free T-shirt. They said they do not do that anymore. I was a little disappointed in that. I like too support the YMCA. Thank you.

Thank you all so very much!
Pool has plenty of lanes and isn’t crowded, lifeguards are friendly but also leave you alone. Nice community.
Programs for kids have amazing instructors that are motivated and actually care about the children. I’m very impressed by the childcare area and the wonderful staff. All the programs are high-quality and engaging in my kids enjoy going to them. The fitness classes are also challenging and engaging.

Active adult classes - instructors and classes are excellent! (Wish a chair yoga class was offered.)
The youth basketball program has been so instrumental to my son finding community when we moved here. He’s had amazing coaches who have turned into mentors and gained so much confidence from playing in the league. We’ve both made friends and stayed healthy by being members of our local Y. We are grateful.
Great variety of classes during the times which are convenient for me. Excellent teachers who tell you the correct way to do exercise so you don't get hurt.
Great staff, heated outdoor pool with 8 lap lanes, many classes with varying degrees of intensity, new cycle bikes (!).
