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.

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 !
