Member Testimonials
The Punta Gorda Y is too crowded. It is very difficult to get into popular classes. The app just plain sucks. If I choose PG and do not want to have to reselect it over and over to add a class.
Charles Reynolds classes (dance and Active Adults) are fabulous. I want Dynamic Dance more than once a week; I want Active Adults by Charles 3 times a week.
I am hoping you have found a bigger facility and you will move some classes to wherever it is in Punta Gorda.
Your gyms are neat clean and well organized excellent equipment and all of your programs just about cover anything you could want to do at a gym what more can you ask
Your programs are great, but you need more space. It's difficult to get into the classes I want during "season". I love Cindy's classes on Tuesday and Friday, but during season I can't always get in. It would also be nice if she had more than 2 classes a week.
Love the staff, classes, and facilities
They are all great and are congruent with the needs of the times (eg. Rock Steady boxing and Enhanced Fitness). Instructors are excellent! Facility is cleaner than most.
At the punta gorda Y, you have eliminate any news programs on the tv's. As the Y is also an educational organization presumably interested in keeping our citizenry aware and involved in our communities and country, you should reinstate at least one news channel on your tv's.
yoga and zumba CLASSES
The classes and the instructors who teach them.
We love our Y! We try to go at least 2 or 3 times a week. We take classes and use the machines. All the equipment is in good condition. It's clean with sanitizing stations always close by. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great place to go.
Punta Gorda YMCA has a tight knit family. I belong to three groups:Zumba, Body Pump, and Spin. In no other club have I experienced the warmth and closeness this one has to offer, it is unique!
Super friendly instructors and members are so nice! Staff goes out of their way to make your day successful ! Amanda a super plus for our club!
The instructors are top notch!
I think the Y is great. Anyone would benefit from being a member. With the season being over it is less crowded. When the season is in it is more challenging to get into classes. I would like to see more 7am classes.
Friendly and helpful staff. Popular activities, pickleball in particular. Very convenient open hours.
Employees very friendly. Y is clean and good classes
The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the facility is clean, spacious and well equipped.
The people that work there. Particularly Karin who greets me by name and Robert my awesome Zumba instructor.
The classes you offer are very good.
I have been a member for 10+ years and have participated in the group classes. I like the variety offered and the instructors are top notch.
Everything
The personal training and classes are important to us. We are newer members for the first time and enjoy what the Y has to offer. Would like to see more strength training classes for active seniors who are just getting started, ie, HIIT classes for “beginners”. We have noticed parking can be an issue in the morning and it’s not even busy season.
Great classes!
The Staff
Amazing instructors, great classes!
I need to add, one negative that hopefully is being worked on, that is during season classes are hard to get into. Unfortunately, people get frustrated & leave the Y. Possibly during season you can limit the amount of classes a member can go to so others get a chance. Best solution is a larger exercise classroom.
Your classes and instructors are excellent!
I like boxing class
The people, Barre, Pilates, barbell strength are excellent!
I like the variety of group classes, workshops and programs.
I’ve used the gym, taken pickleball lessons and I love yoga!
