Senior classes, sr center, pool,pickleball
I like the scheduling of the activities. I just can’t understand why there is a leak in the roof at the basketball courts, hope they fix that soon. Love that it is clean every where you go.
Machines should be fixed faster. No reason for 4 are broken at the same time.
I do love going there and enjoying friends and exercising
The group fitness schedule is excellent! Thank you Nichole Palochko for making the schedule. The instructors are enthusiastic and knowledgeable!
The staff is nice. The place is mainly really clean except the floor of the sauna. Everything else is kept up very nicely and not overly busy.
I am a newcomer and am trying my best to take advantage of as many exercise classes as possible.
I also very much enjoyed the lunch and learn
session I attended.
I am eagerly looking forward to spending more time in classes I think I will enjoy.
It is very important that I acknowledge Ree on the front desk who is a tremendous asset to the
facility.
Another wonderful addition is Hope who has been teaching fitness for 18 years!!
The other fitness instructor, whose name escapes me is also a delight.
All in all, the Y is definitely the answer for a place to blossom and cultivate new friendships.
A happy member,

I’m a class person I try to make it about five times a week. Each class I do is very challenging. The instructors are awesome. I have met some wonderful friends there. I’m really enjoy the YMCA. I am a snow bird. I come from Louisville, Kentucky. I do belong to the Y there as well. when joining the Y here in Florida, I did ask for a free T-shirt. They said they do not do that anymore. I was a little disappointed in that. I like too support the YMCA. Thank you.
