Member Testimonials

Love the Silver Sneakers classes Looking forward to trying the Zumba & cardio drumming

New member but so far staff, equipment, and facility have been great!

Friendly and accommodating staff. We feel welcome at this YMCA. The pool and the facility are clean and the equipment in the workout room is up-to-date. This YMCA is an asset to the Palm Harbor community.

Splash pad was great

Love the workout room and choice of classes. Great and beautiful facility. Very well maintained and updated. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

I like the group fitness classes, specifically barre and tabata. And great instructors!

Staff is super friendly, facility is very clean.

Proximity to my home and it has all the key exercise tools

All your teachers are great and class times are good. Example body pump and then a yoga class or cycling and then yoga. I live less than 5 minutes from another Y and travel 25 minutes to get to John Geigle ..not convenient for me but worth the drive.

Instructors, times and classes.

I absolutely love the John Geigle YMCA in East Lake!! The group activities, which is what I regularly participate in, are quite varied, offer different levels of workouts and have wonderful instructors. The exercise equipment in the equipment room workout area is also quite varied, targeting so many different muscle groups, as well as being able to get a good cardio workout. There are trainers available to help a person form their own workout routine. I really feel there is something for everyone who wants to work at being healthy and fit!! Additionally, you meet so many others who are also striving to be healthy and active, the same as you!!

I can redo my regular schedule around my YMCA time.

I really like the Chair Yoga classes! Great streching and relaxation too. The instructors are excellent. I also work out on the treadmill and other equipment in the gym. The ladies at the front are very welcoming and set up a lesson for me to learn the gym equipment. Mario was great and helped me learn the programs on the treadmill,etc. I am very excited about being able to workout in a pleasant environment that is very cool on these very hot days. The staff is very helpful too!

Well equiped and very clean facility. Friendly and courteous staff.

I only use the gym. It has everything I need for a good workout. The Y is close enough for me to walk to.

I currently am a member at the James P. Gills Y because it is the most convenient in terms of distance from my home and the amenities it provides. I recently had the pleasure of using the gym/fitness equipment at the John Geigle Y and like it. The equipment was in good working order and maintained, the staff and patrons were very nice, and didn't have unnecessary foot traffic of youngsters just transiting through like James P. Gills has due to the layout and location of the gym portion and vicinity of nearby schools.

I would like to thank an unknown female who I spoke to on Monday 8/19/2024 in the morning that asked if I could use the gym since my two son's would be swimming there under coaching by Coach Jake just for that day due to a broken pump motor for their pool at James P. Gills. Thank you to the gym or aquatics director who authorized this request as well. The unknown female also left a message for "First name removed", the afternoon supervisor to let him know I was arriving in the evening so he could allow me in to work out while my two son's swam.

Thank you to the professional, friendly, and courteous staff at John Geigle! The patrons at your facility are lucky have you!
