I have been enjoying the swim aerobics classes. I intend on participating in more of the inside classes as time permits.
Great pool
Love the pool exercise classes. Several teachers and different type exercises for each teacher. Great fun.
And now we can play Pickleball indoors. And soon beginning bridge will be taught. Such a variety of things you can do. If you like to use the weight machines, treadmills, or bikes that’s available too. Or all the classes. Take your choice.
Get to meet new people.
I really just go to the gym. Ride stationary bike and use a few machines.
I like that if I have questions I can readily get help. If not I can exercise and head for home. I know if I want something more all I need to do is sign up & show up!
It’s good that your fees are affordable. Started with the Y in Sarasota around 1985 with reasonable after school care and activities for 1 daughter. My husband & I played volleyball at your center that was a few blocks from “old” Doctors Hospital!(in Sarasota) in the 80’s. Exercise has never been my favorite but in retirement I needed to do something!!! Being close to the Y in Parrish got me slowly into exercise and was so convenient and volunteers were so friendly and helpful. Now I’m at Lakewood Ranch Y. No pressure just friendly helpful volunteers.
I love the vast variety of classes, the amazing instructors, and family friendly atmosphere at the Y. The minute you walk in the door you feel welcome. Everyone is so encouraging, they help you get started on your path to better health.

Water aerobics are great! You could use a reliable person or two to be substitute instructors.
Yoga, cycling and body pump however, I wish there were more of these classes. They get very crowded.

The classes keep me motivated and the kid zone allows me to go almost anytime I like. Also, my kids are finally old enough to enjoy classes and camps.

There are plenty of different classes for everyone and the fitness instructors are great.
The outdoor pool is the best around and the lifeguards are all certified.
In the fitness area there is plenty of fitness machines and free weights for everyone.
The staff from the front desk and all fitness areas are very helpful and certified in first aid as well as programs in working with the the children at summer camp as well as our child care area.
I’ve been a member for several years and I think the “Y” is second to none!
