Not overly clean... old equipment, pool needs work...lkthey clear an INDOOR pool for lightening within 10 miles??? Makes no sense.... it seems that a place like Sarasota would have a nicer Y.

I love this Y! Before I was only a “ snow bird “ for the cold months, but I found so beneficial for my health visiting this branch and decided to continue the membership in our hot summer. Thank you Senior Program Director Kyle Zeigler for your assistance to make the Y’s membership more affordable for the seniors!

I’m not sure who runs this location but I feel like they could do better. Breakdowns of the pool, hot tub, sauna, and video room equipment seem to occur weekly. These are not communicated to patrons. Sometimes they’ll post a sign at the front desk but one must drive there to find out what’s working today and what is not. Most of the treadmills and elliptical machines work, and the free weight and weight machine areas are nice. The people are friendly.

Exceptional Fitness and Wellness Facility and Community! I joined recently since the price for adding my husband to the membership was so reasonable AND this is now part of the national Y network. This means that our membership allows us to go to any other Y in the country that belongs to the national network. Since we travel to see family and just for fun, this is a big bonus. I expected to find this a great facility with good classes, but it is so much more. I stopped trying spin classes during covid and hadnt started back up since I couldn’t find one with good ventilation. The classes here have high celings and great air exchange. The classes in the main studio have a ton of room. Since starting up a couple months ago my garmin app tells me that my sleep has improved, “fitness age” has dropped by 6 months, and training level is at a new high - I used to have a hard time getting my heart rate up and sustaining it, but the group support, well designed classes, and outstanding instructors have moved my fitness level way up in a a short time! The gym floor has a great arrangement of free weights, racks, and machines that let me get a wonderful resistance workout. Even at the

I’’ve always appreciated the YMCA for being a family-friendly and affordable place to stay active, but I was really disappointed by the condition of the aquatic area during my recent visits. To start, the cleanliness of the pool area is a major concern. The water appeared cloudy, and there was a noticeable chemical odor that didn’t seem normal—almost as if the chlorine levels were either way too high or not being managed properly. The pool tiles had a layer of grime, and I even noticed some mold around the drains and locker room floors, which is unacceptable for a facility that serves so many children and On top of that, the locker rooms and showers were in poor shape—wet floors, clogged drains, and no soap in the dispensers. I understand that staffing and maintenance can be a challenge, but basic hygiene and safety should always be a top priority, especially in shared water facilities. I’ve raised these concerns with staff, but I haven’t seen any improvements. I really hope the YMCA takes this feedback seriously and invests more in keeping the aquatic area clean, safe, and well-supervised.
