Member Testimonials
All good
Everyone at this specific Y is so friendly. They intentionally make the effort to get to know you.
Pool and fitness center
Lots of classes to choose from and plenty of machines in the open gym!
Fabulous instructors. They are the reason I go.
The Body Pump , yoga , and cycle classes are great and have excellent instructors.
The front desk personnel are pleasant and informative.
Variety of exercise classes
Personal training is life changing. Group exercise is fun, varied and always a great workout. Pickleball is growing with all courts being used.
I only use the pool and there are several lap lanes available every day. The pool is kept very clean. Wish there were outdoor pickle ball courts.
Love the convenience, friendly staff, and the clean facilities!
I like the classes line up on the hours so I can take a water exercise and my wife can take an exercise class at the same time.
Body pump
Pilates
Fun Friday
Swim aerobics, but I wish you had earlier swim aerobics classes like at 830 like you did in prior months. 10 o’clock is late🤗
Lap lanes in pool
I love working out at the Y; staff are so friendly and kind. I also love the glasses that Leeanne teaches! They are do much fun and a good workout!
Swimming
Improvements: by new Y owners are excellent. From continuing staff education to building maintenance.
Would suggest a toilet installed in mens room. Gapping hole in wall is unsightly. Perhaps even a health problem. Also, it’s time for a computer upgrade. Staff are frustrated by the old antique software.
We love kickboxing, yoga, meditation, Pilates Barre and Rollercise. Also pickleball. Wish you could build a new facility but it is looking better. You need more yoga instructors so you don’t burn Barbara out.
Evening water classes
Group classes
Many good programs for all ages, well organized & managed
I enjoy the personal trainers and from desk staff.
I like that the Y is smaller, however I would like to see more classes offered, and more variety.
I spin and do water classes
Lap pool, weight and cardio room, great staff
Great variety of programs for all age.
I am a regular, hardworking Christian Man.
I start work at 7am. To accommodate my needs the gym at the West Bradenton YMCA opens at 5am, giving me time for exercise before I start my workday.
The staff are very nice and helpful and the equipment kept in good shape. I have been a member since the Bradenton was built and every thing improves. The lifeguards are very professional. I have been a member of YMCA for 70 years and this is the best.
