Member Testimonials

Great consistency in instruction! Karen, Marci, Tammy and Brittany are great!!

I recommend the Y all the time. I recommend it for adults and children who need to learn to swim, to be safe in water-bound Pensacola. I recommend it for lonely seniors, needing both fitness and social connection. I recommend it to newcomers, emphasizing a place where people of all religions, races and nationalities mingle with respect for and fellowship with for one another. I recommend it for people looking for action and fun!

This particular gym is incredibly serviced. There are a large variety of machines, racks, and benches to micro target muscle groups or advance general fitness.

I have not used the pool, because the chlorine upsets my asthma, but I have used the Saunas previously, and I think that they are an awesome addition as well.

The staff is generally friendly, the noise levels from others working out exceed expectations. Most of us are in there trying to get our fitness on. I have not experienced anyone who could be considered rambunctious, loud, or obnoxious.

Friendly staff and easy to access

Very good facility with good staff. Equipment is a very good quality.

Worker's are awesome, the people you meet are awesome. Everyone is so helpful and caring.

The staff is nice and friendly and the instructors are will qualified

We love the Y, it has a great variety of activities for the whole family:)

Clean and great atmosphere. Helpful and kind employees.

Good equipment (though some needs to be upgraded) nice people.

My children are involved in swimming lessons. I particularly enjoy and participate in the morning group classes.

The free coffee is a very nice touch that I enjoy on my way out.

As my typical workday begins at 7AM, I would benefit from group classes that start earlier in the AM (eg 5:15 or 5:30) to be able to complete the class, shower, dress, and get to work by 7

Children's activities

Group classes, especially Body Pump. However, I am disappointed that the Y has not upgraded to the newer body pump equipment. The current equipment leaks sand so you’re never sure what weight you’re lifting. I actually have my own equipment from Covid lockdown. If I could figure out a way to use my own equipment I would. (Such as if I could store it on-site it something.

The amenities are incredible. Weight room is full of equipment. Pool is beautiful. Saunas work well. Employees and patrons, alike are friendly.

Nice facility and friendly staff. It is a vibrant and welcoming environment to work out in!

Nice gym, clean, good variety of equipment. Pool is nice, staff is friendly. Would love to be able to bring a guest more often.

I love the step class taught by Yuri. She is the best instructor & has lots of energy. The room is a great size & the equipment is in good shape. I have tried the restorative yoga class in the room next door, but unfortunately the constant noise from the 2nd level did not make for a conducive class.

I cannot think of anything that I would recommend you to change.

Exceptional Staff.

Location and Building

I like everything about the Y. We've been members for over 20 years and we've taken advantage of many of the classes and activities offered. Keep up the good work!

Friendly environment, good location.

We enjoy putting the YMCA on our morning routine each week - normally the treadmill or bukes

Outstanding group exercises. Outstanding group instructors.They are well trained and friendly, and make it easy to exercise. The group exercises encouraged me to come even when I don't feel much like it

Variety!!!

The equipment and amenities

Great

Everything is absolutely incredible, but I sure would like a place to deadlift and also a pec-deck. It would also be nice if the music selection was a little more energetic... soft country hits don't get me fired up.

Making available most of days.

Friendly and smiley employees making us feel family, etc.
