Kids club so we can use the gym; the gym for the kids; summer camp
I love the Les mills classes! The instructors are amazing! I have been a member of many other gyms and they don’t come close to the level that we have at our Y.

Loving it so far!
Verity of many kinds of classes and equipment
Nice selection of group classes, very good instructors.
I only use the pool at this time. It is excellent.
There is a nice variety of programs at good times that often allow you to take two classes in a row
Everything, unfortunately many senior exercise classes are over overcrowded. Additional classes would be appreciated.
I would recommend people that I play pickleball with to come to open play. They come and can’t believe the quality of the nets and lighting in the indoor pickleball courts. They won’t play at the LWR Y Pickleball program. There are nicer indoor courts w better Pickelball nets on a roller device where you store them setup. The LWR YMCA is not dedicating a budget towards developing a pickleball program. They feel the children’s camp program/Sports is revenue producing for the location. The amount of retired individuals who have a membership want this open play option w their current membership. We are forced to play elsewhere bc of the equipment and facilities. The gym is not cleaned on a regular basis after sports tournaments. This LWR location needs to have a budget assessment evaluation to keep Pickleball continued at our LWR location..I invite YMCA management headquarters to come see this location and how it is managed. It’s not like other YMCA’s that already have rolling Pickleball nets in East Bradenton area. Please investigate this location.

Variety of programs.
You offer several classes every morning.
Good program for senior fitness
I joined to be able to use the pool to walk in daily, and for the aqua classes.
I do find that the pool area is frequently messy--trash and debris (not natural stuff) in the filters at the edges, and since I go almost daily it seems like there are often 2 or 3 days in a row before the trash is cleaned out. Bandaids stuck to the walls, etc. If someone is actively cleaning the pool deck area, they'd see this.
Lots of choices
Do not have to register for most classes
Therefore, no charge for not attending
Instructors are excellent
If you register for a class, the time to cancel is appropriate
One hour before the class helps if you get sick
