What do you like about our programs and activities?

There’s something for everyone at the Y. There’s so many classes for people. It’s not just classes. For example, there is Pickleball. The workout area has a wide range of machines to accommodate the members. There are also many cardio options for workouts. Also it is a very friendly and social place. And you can’t say enough about the staff there, they are so accommodating.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I am a new member . My friend gifted me a one month pass and I was hooked . I use to hate group classes until I attended a class in Sarasota . Years ago my children and I were Y members in Chicago .

Being that it is very hot in the summer the Y is the perfect community and workout place for me . Once I walked in the door I was greeted and shown around .

After my 1 month pass expires I joined . Thanks for offering that program . It’s a great way to show off the place . I also already had a friend join . Great job !

All of your teachers are so wonderful and there are quite a few classes every day to choose from. Love the Steam Room, hot tubs and pools . Could be cleaner but I understand it has to be hard to keep up with for so many years.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I limit my programs to Pilates. Your instructor vow is very dedicated to learning her principles, standards and programs. She takes the time to evaluate each individual to see what their strength and weakness are that may discourage guest from continuing. She has always positive and welcome to redirect her class to modify for all included.
