What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love water aerobics..but I would like a better instructor on Monday & Wednesday. Eliana is not a good water aerobics teacher. Several others feel the same way. Maria has been a substitute & we like her very much & if she was teaching on Monday & Wednesday more people would attend.

I would also like more instruction on the new equipment….

Front desk people - especially Tanya are terrific!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the TRX class at Sarasota but it is getting very crowded and it is hard to squeeze too many in because of the equipment. You have to come early and people fight over spots.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Love your group classes. Your instructors Janet, Kim and Lara (they usually teach body pump and Pilates) are amazing. I really like how your classes are drop in and you don’t have to sign up. ( have a busy schedule and don’t always know ahead of time when I can make a class.)

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Overall, I’m happy with the Y. I wish the air conditioning worked better, it’s always too warm on the gym floor.
One suggestion I have would be to mount a couple of those giant ceiling fans like you see in many gyms. I don’t see this as anything that you couldn’t afford and there’s no maintenance or expense once they are installed.
Also, if it’s in the budget, a once a week snack for the members would be nice. Or even if you put out some of the sweets and bakery items that you get from Publix instead of keeping them all in the office.
