Member Testimonials

Great variety of programs to accommodate needs.

Zumba is my favorite and I wish there were more classes each week and at more convenient times. A 8:00 or 9:00 class would not break up the day like 11:00 does.

The Y is close to our home about 8 minutes away. You offer a variety of activities for seniors. I bought our daughter a massage of her choice at the Y of which she and her family are members. I wanted a personal trainer that would be cheerful, knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, kind & caring. I was blessed to find the perfect one at the Y. Her name is Marcia. She is all the above and more! The Y is indeed blessed because of her. She makes me feel so special. After our first workout, she later sent me a text to check on me! So sweet! It’s the employees that make a company great. You can have all of the workout machines in the world, but it’s the employees who actually represent the company in a positive or negative way that will determine whether people will come back or not. Its employees like Marcia that make a company great! I’m looking forward to coming back for my weekly training sessions with Marcia. She specifically designed a really good workout routine just for me! I’m off to a good start at 75!

we are loving the Y so glad we joined. Everyone is so friendly. The equipment is great although some of it could use some updating overall we’re very happy the classes are wonderful!

Lots of variety and classes to choose from throughout the day.

Everyone is very helpful! out of 3 types of classes I’ve taken so far I have returned to 2 (the third a barre class was not a barre class) I will continue to explore with your classes and programs

Lovin it!

Great classes, fantastic facility, friendly staff, loads of equiptment

Instructors are amazing and there is something for everyone.

I use the outdoor pool. It is the best around in the area. I view it as a real asset to the Y

I use the machines downstairs for an all around physical workout using a lot of long
muscles and some short muscles.

Lots of classes and amazing instructors

The instructors are excellent!

The programs are varied and fun. The instructors are very professional and seem aware that many in the classes are of different ages and skill levels . The improvements to the facility are amazing this year! Great new machines and flooring.
The pool is showing it’s age a bit but the aquatic staff is excellent.

All of the employees are very helpful and friendly. The classes are great too.

Has all the machines I need for a good workout
Th

1.) Kelly, Fitness Director continues to be a major asset and addition to the YMCA. I have >50 years of experience of dealing with the public and she possesses what it takes to make the needed improvements in PR, staff and the facility, along with promoting the YMCA.

2.) Several of the hand sanitizer (wall mounted) units have been empty for over a month! We are in flu season and need to control the spread of the viruses as much as possible.

3.) MANY MEMBERS USE THE EXERCISE MACHINES AS THEIR PERSONAL "PARK BENCHES", MANY OF WHICH ARE SEWED TO THEIR CELL PHONES!!! Even when asked nicely, many continue to sit, listen, read, text, whatever. Many get insulted when asked to finish up after an inordinate amount of time. "Working In" is a term and thing of the past, prior to cell phones. Members have become oblivious and self-centered. They seem entitled. I clocked one recently on the chest machine at 26 minutes!!! You MUST find a way to get them OFF the machines in < 5 minutes, without discourse. Your new "softened" look Rules Sign, does not do the trick, not that the older one did.

4.) Promote 4 Wall HANDBALL (not racquetball). Handball is far superior to any other racquet type sports,especially pickleball; not even close skill-wise. I posted phone numbers on the sign board outside the handball courts for 6 years now and never gotten a single call. Why not publicize Handball in your newsletter, at least? It is sad that I need to drive 45 min. to play in Sarasota, when you have two fine handball courts on site.

5.) The PR of the staff is improving, especially with the new hires. You still have a few "stiffs" remaining in the P.T. arena, that find it hard to say hello to members working out in the gym.

6.) Bring back towels (at least the small ones you had, pre-Covid). Covid is OVER!.

7.) Fix 2-6 above and you will have a 10/10.

Thank you.
