Member Testimonials
Varied classes with exceptional instructors
Love the aqua
Beautiful, well equipped physical fitness facility with personable staff who are ready to help answer questions and assist members. Members are very respectful of each other. Clean bathrooms and showers are a welcomed treat after a vigorous workout or swim in the pool.
I am grateful for the load bearing exercise equipment and strength training classes that are helping me build back strong muscles and bones.
May God continue to bless you all to be a blessing to the community.
Great facility, friendly staff. Many programs for all ages. Well run and maintained. This YMCA is a wonderful gift to this community.
Cardio strength equipment
Classes are great. Keeps you motivated to go
I love the active older classes but they are difficult to get into. The process is difficult due to the popularity of the classes

AOA programs are the best! Elaine is fantastic
It fits my prescription. That’s all I got to say about that. Thank you very much.
Everything !
Overall, the facilities are clean and friendly. However, the Port Charlotte building could use some updates, not just paint!
One negative comment would be the design of the steam/sauna at the Englewood complex. It is understandable that shutting down the pool during lighting, (is common sense). But there has to be a better way to keep the steam/sauna, 1/3 of the membership service open when weather issues OR a lack of lifeguards, etc, and probably other variety of reasons, I'm sure. To list just a few. (i.e. no shows, report of ill, no backup/replacements coverage, emergencies, etc.)
Perhaps sealing the sauna doors completely to the pool area by studying options to install access from inside the building would not only keep the service open but, as an added benefit would also stop sauna users from jumping in the pool without first rinsing off.
Not everything can be accomplished, all the time, but, looking for better ways to improve should never be ignored because it isn't important for the overseer.
At the Port Charlotte building, do a viability study to convert one of the steam rooms into a sauna. It seems like a wasteful amount of energy vs usage in an attempt to keep both up and running, plus, should there be a breakdown of the steam heater unit. Neither room works anyway! Having a sauna gives the members (all) an option.
You ask.....
Thank you
