Member Testimonials
We like that you employ community members and have something for everyone. We would love for you to be able to employ more teens.
New equipment
The programs are well organized. There is a variety to choose from. The staff/trainers are very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
I love the variety of classes with times throughout the day. I’ve never done Body Pump before and really enjoyed it. The instructor was great at explaining and it was an effective workout. I’m excited to try other classes!
Variety & availability of classes
Clean facility with everything I need. Nice and helpful staff members.
Group fitness classes! Brian's body pump class on Tuesdays is so great, he's an excellent instructor who makes everyone feel welcome regardless of their level. He gives detailed instructions to ensure we stay injury-free and he fosters a sense of community in his classes.
Rodrigo's Saturday morning Zumba class is part party and part church but all fun. He's an inspired instructor who creates a space for self-expression in the dance. He's joyful and reminds us that all are welcome in his class.
Super friendly staff. Love the new weights!
I am a seasonal (Jan to Apr usually) member. I love the Y/St Pete. I use the fitness/strength facilities 3X/week and spin 2X/week. Great facilities and staff.
The front desk staff is especially friendly and competently helpful. Special kudos to Jeff who doesn't see me for months but always remembers my name and circumstances.
Only suggestion for improvement: please consider resuming the music in the fitness/strength area. I heard it my first day back and then it stopped. I miss it ! The music adds energy.
Thanks for everything ! I hope to participate in spin-o-rama again this year.
I love the classes, instructors and camaraderie with my classmates.
Nice new clean facility - staff is exceptional!
Silver Sneakers
Options for the young children... childcare.
I don't actually participate in the programs; I just use the facilities.
All y staff has been helpful and enthusiastic, coaches are great, and we’ve enjoyed the nice group of kids on the team. My only negative is 8-9 practice times-it’s been a challenge during the school week and we may not do another season if the late slot is the only one available.
Great kids programs and camps
Lots of variety
I love the layout of the weight machines, the large windows, and that the cardio equipment faces the windows. I also enjoy the variety of exercise classes. The gym cleanliness is fantastic, and I love the culture that has been created - friendly people that also clean the equipment after each use. The staff is phenomenal! They make you feel very welcome without being intrusive or over the top. My only complaint is that the volume of the music is inconsistent. I like to hear the music (I also wear headphones at times) but often the music is playing very low. It definitely adds to the atmosphere when the music is a bit louder (not too loud but loud enough to hear it). I am not sure why the volume doesn't remain at a consistent setting. You never know what you're going to get when you arrive regarding the music volume. Kudos to the staff, leadership, and board for creating this amazing space!
Fun
Eileen and the director are fabulous! Very patient with my reluctant swimmer.
I like the treadmill and the silver sneaker classes. I will eventually work up to using more machines and swimming pool.
Front desk staff are so helpful, respectful and lovable.
I like the music. It isn’t too loud which I really appreciate. Other gyms seem intent on causing hearing loss in their members!
I love the kids zone. The associates that work their are so involved with kids and make it a pleasant experience. The grounds are always clean in all other areas and all staff is dedicated to their jobs.
Les mills classes are why I’m there.
Always great classes and instructors. Class times are very convenient. New equipment in on gym floor is amazing.
Wide variety of programs to satisfy all needs. Fitness room has an enormous amount of machines available for all ages.
Skilled leaders in the group activities, variety of programs, friendly atmosphere
Welcoming to all, friendly instructors, lively facility
Body Pump, especially Brian's classes!
