Member Testimonials
I love your staff. Lou and Carin at the front desk are extremely helpful and welcoming. Rebecca is an outstanding teacher and encouraging coach for body pump.
The hours open are great. The location is great. What I love most about the Y is the Monday through Friday staff in the am really make an effort to know and care about you. I don't see this effort as much during later in the day or weekends.
Many members are isolated socially, and your staff helps to decrease this. I used to be a psychotherapist, so I keep up with challenges that we have in our community when it comes to people's wellness. Your staff building a relationship with others is so important to members health.
If it would be helpful for me to do an in-service to your staff about this topic, I am happy to do so.
You guys are the Best!

I like the variety of the classes offered. I would like the Body Pump classes to be a full hour since Les Mills have them choreographed for a full hour. We get a bit of work out with a full hour versus 45 minutes.

Big variety of classes/programs for any exercise level!!
I like the variety and the instructors. A great place to work out and very friendly.
I genuinely enjoy being a member at PG location. Everyone upfront is fantastic and makes me feel valued as a member. I work out weekly with Shelley Jahns, awesome trainer! All instructors and top notch. Equipment is good, the club is kept clean. I have two "issues"; it would be nice to have the women's locker room with better lighting. I quite trying to shower and and change anymore and go all the way to do that because it's pretty dingy in there for us gals needing to get to work. My other issue is how difficult it is to get a class (which I prefer as opposed to being on my own) reservation. Not sure what you can do about it, but especially in season, it gets pretty frustrating when I can't get a class all week. Other than that, thank you for being there!
Gréât instructors and classes.
But we should offer more classes before 7 am or after 4 pm wor working people!!!
The program director is innovative and open to trying new programs events and schedules and overall responsive to members and inclusive
to the community.
I’ve belonged to four different gyms in the Punta Gorda area and I just haven’t been comfortable at any of them. I came to the Y as my last chance of working out at a gym. I was ready to just get fat and waste away (lol).
The staff at MY Y is the best. The trainers and the desk staff are so helpful and professional and knowledgeable. I really enjoy going to the gym (how many of you can say that?) and playing Pickleball after workouts.
I’m not getting any younger but I’m getting stronger thanks to the YMCA and their staff.

Parkinson group is Awesome!
