Member Testimonials
Variety of classes. Time of classes and good instructors
Friendly and the classes although I have trouble remembering to register it has kept the classes manageable
Love the gym! Great people at the desk and coaches are fabulous. Eg. Regina. I always feel welcome at your YMCA!
The recreational aspect - both kids love their activities! We love the family-friendly and flexible/varied options. We especially love Miss E!
We love the ballet and basketball programs. I love using the gym to workout
Coaches are amazing and schedules are very accommodating.
Always a loving environment and no matter who is coaching, they treat all the kids equally and really work on their skills as individuals and as a team.
How laid back and accommodating the staff is. We love our Y!
I use the pool and my wife
Like the water aerobics. You have 2 excellent teachers during the week. Pool water temperature is below par.
I swim only at the Y and love the pool. I actually really like the reservation approach that's been in place since reopening from COVID.
Zumba, all classes with Barbara, gym.
I like the intimacy of this branch. The signing up for the different activities makes me feel safe and valued as a member.
I like instructor all and group exercise
Very friendly staff. I’ve only been to your exercise classes . The trainers seem good and encouraging and I’ve enjoyed those classes.
I was hoping to find an open group that play pinochle, but perhaps you don’t offer card games.
I love Wednesday and Friday classes because it’s always a different workout. Love there is an 8:00 am spin class twice a week !! Please don’t ever change that!!! Awesome friendly staff from Georgia at the front desk to Leeann and Bob who are both great instructors! Love this Y!!

Swimming. Lap lane scheduling
Spin class. Especially Bob s. He's one of the best spin instructors i have ever dealt with
The water aerobics and the friendships made
they are for all levels of skills from beginners to experienced. Everyone is welcomed to join and play on the teams
We love soccer and plan to do many more activities through YMCA
I love the online scheduling for lap swimming, and I love the clean facility and the nice people!
We love the coaches and the sense of community we get at the Y. We wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Sarasota Y had ballroom dancing every Saturday night at a cost of $12.00 person. They needed a minimum of 110 people to break even. Often there were well over 200. No one has picked up that business.
This is a perfect time to kick it off. Trailer estates hasn’t started back. Bradenton Women’s Club has limited space. Cortez Moose isn’t consistent. Palmetto Moose has dancing every Wednesday night and it’s full. The 88 on Cortez is thinking about re-opening at $10.00 per person but space is limited. Bradenton just needs some tables, chairs and a small combo band.
Need more classes, maybe get some local companies to give health lectures like doctors, chiropractors, exercise instructors!
I recently joined the Bradenton Y - having been a member of the Kissimmee one for 20 plus years.
The staff at Bradenton y are always helpful, positive and never short of a smile. They knew me by my first name, within several visits, that’s always very welcoming:)
I regularly reserve a lap lane, yoga place, meditation class or aqua fitness- all instructors are excellent, and make you feel welcome and you can settle in at the level your use to or push for further fitness. Life guards are great - they too know me by name and always wish you a great day. They have been super safe with covid - masks whilst walking around etc. I feel it’s a safe place . The open up the doors to the greasy air by pool area if you ask. Some guests are more at risk for COVID and they respect that. There is a limit on class numbers - social distancing in the pool and online signup - I have always managed to find a reservation. They really do a great job at this Y
I love the friendly, welcoming atmosphere at the Bradenton YMCA. It starts at the front desk when we check in and extends to all the classes and activities.
Friendly staff, very competent teachers, especially Georgia and Leann!
