Class instruction however there are still a few saving spots.
Someone may have to monitor maybe an hour before class starts or at least the prob classes
Step, body pump and the chair class
I do not take the chair class but heard lots of problems
Maybe the chairs shld be set up and that’s where they stay
I still feel the spots especially fir step shld be marked
Especially if someone comes in late they will know where there is an open spot
Just last week there was a step down for body pump no one was using it after class started and someone came in late went over there and asked if available and person said NO and that spot was empty the whole class. Not right
Other than that the staff is great, instructors are great.
The outdoor pool, classes.
I love the Forever Fit class. Jan is the best.
Love swimming laps at the pool. The lifeguards are friendly and helpful. The pool is always clean and the showers are hot.
Great work outs.

Variety
The variety of classes and times
All your representatives are very helpful and are always smiling.
I like that the staff is friendly and competent. The two Jenns are excellent instructors!
The group exercise schedule seems lopsided to me as there is only one format of group strength training and it isn’t appropriate for everyone.
There are no core classes, no foam roller classes and not enough yoga and cycling classes. Also weekend schedule is minimal.
We need more classes and more than one group x room. We could make good use of the smaller room down the hall (not the gym) if it was well equipped and kept clean.
I love that the workout area with the equipment does not have endless TVs. So distracting!
We are racquetball players and love to use the Y for their courts.
I like the gym overall. It’s clean and well maintained. My only concern is equipment monitoring and faster replacements when needed.
I like the fact that I can get to whatever i need to complete my
workout every day that I am at the Y.
While I don't usually participate, they seem OK.
Variety of programs available Spinning, Yoga, Aquatics programs, and personal weight training available.
I love Cardio Drumming class!! Debbie Marz is the BEST!! I also liked the opportunity to try an acupuncture session there!! The front desk folks are welcoming and helpful!! I do wish there were more afternoon classes available.
Sit and fit for seniors
and chair Yoga
Very helpful for older members
Good
I like my personal trainer. There are several movement classes that could benefit my legs. Right now work some with Anissa. Absolutely superb.
But there is more. I enjoy the atmosphere and the positive environment.
They’re geared towards majority of the local population, I.e., matured individuals
Activities for kids, swimming lessons for kids, lunch programs during summer break. Time for adults to do lap swim with no kids
Pretty much anything you want however canceling classes such as Spin in the off season punishes the year round members who support the Y all year long. Such as getting rid of 9:30 am Spin Classes punishes people who don’t get up at dawn.
Do not have to register for each class

I enjoy dance trance and werq and step classes.
We have belonged to the YMCA in Fort Myers since we moved here in 2020. We've always belonged to the Y every place we lived, our last being in Hollywood FL. In comparison to other facilities, the Fort Myers Y cannot compete with the size and amenities offered at larger buildings. We would love to see the Fort Myers Y expand and get into a larger building. We remain loyal to the Y because of their athletic programs for our children and the gym is wonderful! I cannot comment on adult fitness classes because I don't take them but I'm sure they're wonderful. They always have friendly and welcoming employees.
