Friendly staff..variety of programs..family oriented
Great space to exercise. Plenty of equipment.
I love yoga class on Sunday mornings, but wish there were more during the week as I work 8:30-5:00 every day. A 6 pm class would be ideal!
Love the Les Mills classes - they are challenging yet flexible for the days when you need something lighter, and the instructors are outstanding!! They are motivating, easy to follow, and simply excellent at what they do!
Excellent facilities, and great instructors - and you rock with all that you do in the Community!
Love the body balance and yoga classes and programs for the kids
Availability!
The staff if friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. The facility is nice, clean updated and has lots of cutting edge, equipment and classes. The pool is awesome. Usually, I have a lane to do my laps without a wait. The water temperature is perfect for laps. Lifeguards are friendly and attentive.. the new Pilates instructor Joanne is knowledgeable, and thorough in describing the Pilates moves. She’s exactly what I was looking for in a Pilates instructor. In one word, she’s fantastic.

The Heather and Jim Gills YMCA is honestly one of my favorite things about our dear St. Pete.
Coming to the Y 3-4 times a week is a big part of my life- everyone is amazing, friendly, and kind; it's clean, and there's always more than enough variety of activities to keep even me- an Enneagram 7-entertained and excited.
My friends are probably sick of hearing about how much I love it tbh 😂

Clean spaces, great access, very friendly staff.
