Member Testimonials

Everything

Instructors are top-notch

Steam room and sauna

Great pool and steam room! I do wish there was a male and female sauna separate. This should not be a shared environment. Also would like to see rules enforced for street wear in the sauna.

The pool

I enjoy the pool and the aerobic equipment.

I love all of the fitness classes made available, especially yoga and pilates. The instructors are great and the practice space is nice.

I love the attention to detail, welcoming employees, organized atmosphere, and overall vibe and respect members have with one another as we each do our specific activity to reach our personal heath goals. It truly feels like a POSITIVE COMMUNITY when you step into that building:)

Spin, barre & Pilates fusion!

I like it all

Gym facilities and equipment

Like what I take with weights. Will consider others. A weights and aerobics not too intense would be good.

The people at the Bear Levin Studer Family YMCA really go out of their way to make their members feel at home and important. They often go that extra mile to make this experience available to everyone who desires to be a member. This is a program that makes a difference in our community.

Location, equipment, & staff!

so far I have no complant

The price is great for the value of everything offered. I love being a member. It makes before and after school care affordable and karate classes for my son accesible. I wouldn’t be able to put him in anything like this if I didn’t have the membership.

Love that the pool is indoors, there are personal trainers available, everyone is nice. There are lots of different things to take part in.

I enjoy going to the various exercise classes that are offered.

Everything!!

I love the flexibility.

My life, five days a week, begins at the gym. Hello to the welcome staff and then off to get my exercise (yoga, classes with a combination stretch and strength and body pump to name a few). You can't find better instructors (Michelle, Fabienne, Lauren, Rachel). Upstairs my friends play pickleball with Jose' while I get on the treadmill and convince myself that I am running (which is usually a very slow jog). I do use the machines from time to time. Over the many years as a member I have met some people who are now my dearest friends. Then the inevitable...go to work. BTW I am 72 years old.

Everyone was very nice and helpful. Swam a bit to get some low/no impact exercise for my knee. A lot of activities and amenities I will be checking out in my future visits. Highly recommended!

I love all the classes I take at the YMCA! Thanks for the great programming and the happy staff!

Currently, I only use the Pickle-ball courts, but I know the Y has many other great exercise programs to enjoy as many of my friends do so!

Time and convenience

Good facility. Need to fix the pool schedules. There are only four lap lanes, and sometimes one or more of them are not available for lap swim. This leads to long waits for a spot in a lane, while others are occupying them instead of the small pool. Keep the lap lanes for lap swimming and keep non-lap swimming in the small pool, and we can avoid this unfortunate problem.

Music

So many things are offered and at affordable pricing. My kids and I love it!

Everyone at the Y is very nice. The staff are committed to the members and go out of their way to be sure that we get what we need.

The Pensaola YMCA offers everything that you need for a great workout in a comfottable environment. The patrons are willing to help each other out when needed and make a conscience effort to share machines and get along. Needing motivation and a set weekly commitment, I have benefited fom utilizing their trainers who are all well qualified and have an education background in fitness training. The fees are very reasonable and provide the workout that I need to stay in shape as I approach my 60's. Unlike some gyms I have utilized there is no intimidation or the feel of people using the gym as dating app. I feel that the environment is very accommodating to a stress free workout.
