I love the cohesiveness Coach Shelemiah brings to the students and the teaching concept and structure she implements. My son has been to several sporting events and in her class, it has been one of the most organized functional sports he has participated in.
Staff is very nice and helpful
I like how the staff makes an effort to know the members by name and to interact with them when they are on site.

I like the group classes. Everyone is friendly.
All of the instructors, the veritiy of classes and the availability of the classes.
They keep me active. They’re not always the same. There are some differences almost every time I love Leez she’s excellent and I also like the other ladies for Cynthia and I can’t remember the other ladies name but they’re all very good. They engage us. I love the people that go there they’re also friendly people at the desk are all so very friendly very helpful always smiling. It’s a good place.
People in group exercise classes are my age. Instructors are top notch

YMCA offers a wide variety of programs and the instructors are knowledgeable and fun.
Great programs geared to older people and great instructors
They are focused to older adults
I love my 11 o’clock class with Leez and am sorry when I can’t attend.
The Y has given me the opportunity to meet like minded people who want to take care of their bodies and it was one of the first things I did when I moved to Fort Myers 10 years ago.
I am 95 now and different things come in the way of my attending, but there’s no question that my body knows when I miss!

Convinient hours
The variety of workout programs.
Equipment is in great condition.
Friendly, community centered, small and not busy.
The child care staff are wonderful! My kids love going to the Y while their father and I work out together in the weight room.

I love the quality of the gym equipment and the programming for our kids. It’s impossible to find a gym with childcare, and the Y has it!
