Enjoy the flexibility to exercise in the pools

Somehow the new functional room, upstairs, didn't quite work out. There is so much equipment in there that the only open space is middle of the room, which is also a pathway, which has fair amount of foot traffic. The prime space along the mirrored wall and southern wall is unavailable.

It is part of my routine but the facility is professionally run, clean and always staff on hand to help.
What's not to like? I am a morning person and as a result, it is not typically too crowded. The downtown location makes the pre-workout run very nice to catch the town before it gets too busy. Running along the edge of Pensacola Bay and catching the sunrise is hard to beat. Get in a stretch and workout prior to starting the day and just a quick 20 minute ride to the house.

Beautiful facility and helpful staff

Classes and a variety of classes and opportunities for many

Great selection and excellent swim instruction

Just started using the yoga and seniors workouts. Very pleased with staff and facilities.

We like the whole spectrum of activities and the facilities that support whatever type of physical activity you are interested in.

The after school care at Roger Scott is well run and the children love to be there!
Also, the downtown Y is clean and the staff are friendly!

I'm a senior citizen and thoroughly enjoy water aerobics. Bonnie who helped enroll me in Y is a sweet lovely young lady. The interior of building is bright and cheerful. Staff welcoming.

Lots of activities for all ages at a reasonable price.

I enjoy the sense of community that develops in the group exercise classes; the flexibility of programming that now includes the Mirror room; the impact in the community that my membership fees have to help support things like water safety classes, after-school care and more.

The staff are always positive and welcoming. I really enjoy the various group exercise programs. The amenities are fantastic also!

It is inexpensive

The staff;
The pool, the sauna, and the gym;
The free coffee, the shower and the locker.

I really enjoy the Parkinsons Exercise class.

everything

They are all organized and communicate all of the class schedules and openings very well. We love the children's care and appreciate all that you do to keep the gym a clean and welcoming environment!

We love the YMCA !!

Safe location, friendly staff, clean facilities. Our kids LOVE the pool.

I understand 'The Y' tries to satisfy the majority of its members - and it does a great job! I love the mix of classes it offers. Unfortunately due to my work hours I RARELY am able to attend classes during the week - I usually visit on Saturdays or Sundays, which is why I am writing. I would REALLY like to see it open later on these days - AT LEAST till 6pm - especially on Saturday!

The classes are excellent along with the equipment plus the WOW virtual workout room a great addition!!!

Like the classes you offer regularly and the mirror workout room and the pool

Trixie is the best! Love her so much and is a true asset to the YMCA!
Staff are usually quick about making repairs to equipment and fixing the constant low pressure water fountains upstairs.
The high school crowds can be annoying with their yelling and bad language. But one of the YMCA personal trainers is the only one to ask them to watch their mouths or be calm. I wish more staff were proactive with reprimanding that group.
I also wish the YMCA staff would reprimand patrons that lift too heavy and slam weights down. It damages equipment and spooks me when I’m not paying attention.
More cable machines and additional squat racks would be appreciated.
Also if the equipment wasn’t moved constantly that would be helpful.

I like the basketball gym and the attractive view of downtown.

The flexibility and variety

Love body pump and the gym

I love the facilities, however it's difficult to understand everything that is going on. Signage throughout the building needs to pointed out to people so they can learn how to utilize all the amenities easily without having to find staff to ask.

The state-of-the-art gym equipment.

Love the classes and the pool! Staff is super friendly/.

I like everything, from the friendly staff to the convenient hours. Can't say enough good things, other than I've happy to be a member.
