The pool activities and staff are terrified
It’s like a family - very social. Instructors are wonderful - very professional and well trained.
I’d say the weakness is cleaning. Someone’s got to get control and clean the place. Floors are filthy. Wash the basket ball floor and mop it daily. Including the smaller rooms activities are shared on the door. Ladies say their locker rooms - you get the point.
Pool
Love our Y
There are many activities to choose from and I especially like the chair exercises as I have a knee replacement. The gym area is well equipped and there is always someone available if
you need any help.
Water class, I love the YMCA , The people are are great the staff are wonderful.
Nice gymnasium. That’s the only thing I use.
The classes are very well done and the instructors and staff are very helpful and friendly.
Absolutely love the aerobics classes. Need more of the kickboxing, fun Friday and cardio/core! They are the best 💖
I like spin and TRX. Wish you had more classes. I like the people and have made friends.
Love the classes. It just seems that everything I like is scheduled at the same time
I like the evening water aerobics.
Very friendly, helpful & knowledgeable staff.
Exercise classes
I love the instructors namely Barbara and Leanne and I love their classes. I’m happy with the equipment but obviously wish we could have a new facility.
I have been a member of the Y for many years because of the number of activities and flexibility of classes available. I love the group
Classes and most of all the water aerobics available for us señor people that have a number of aches and pains to deal with. I am thrilled that you have open classes now instead of having appointments. It made it hard to attend when classes were already full.
So thank you for that.
Also appreciate your lower fees which make it easier to attend on our small budget!!

I think the 'Y' is the best exercise value in all of Manatee County!
I do water aerobics. Like to workout hard to get my heart rate up. The instructors make it so you can do any level. Like the workout times.
I like being able to use the facility on my schedule and that there are classes that work with my schedule. Also, it’s one of the cleanest, friendliest places. The staff are friendly and informative, especially Ms Groome.
The staff, in addition to, friendly, courteous and professional, they appreciate our membership and are generous with their time.
