More classes later on the weekends would be good. I would allow for an easy way to “pause” membership as needed. Sometimes in certain months I can’t get there as much as I’d like or at all. Thank yoy
To be honest with you I’d come to the ymca more but your lifeguards are honestly ridiculous
I understand safety I do but when you see a child who can swim , why put the child thru the ringer .
I left the other day because one of the lifeguards would not allow my granddaughter who’s 8 not swim unless she was tied to my hip . I found that very unreasonable.
You wanna test her go for it , honestly it’s really not worth it .
The staff member was very friendly and helpful
I love the Y however it is too bad so much has to be moved or canceled due to the children’s summer programs.
I have already raved about the beautiful facility and friendliness, as well as well equiped workout area.
Friendly and nice environment
Everyone i friendly and ready to answer questions. They greet you when you come in and ask how you are doing when you leave. I wish their shallow water arobics were later than 8 AM. For some reason the 2 days they have it, I tend to sleep in. Go figure. Lol
Kerry showed and explained the machines function and application to the buddy
We all (people in my classes) get the feeling our input, requests & feedback are not welcomed, valued or listened to at all. Emails with requests get little or no response or constructive answers. We get a lot of “we’re working on it” or “we’ve had a meeting”…..then nothing & no changes made.
Examples: 1. slippery tile floors in ladies locker room causing falls/injuries
2. Overcrowded & dangerous pool class (mostly on Monday’s)
3. No crosswalk painted lines in front of entrance.
Everything is very clean and organized.
There are days when I don’t see any staff on the floor. Fan’s should be one every day.
Very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful
Its a great atmosphere, staff and members are friendly . Plenty of equipment little or no waiting.
Clean, lots of updated improvements!
classes are to crowded
Love Wilda’s Silver Sneakers classes.
The pool is dominated by swim teams.. and they take the prime hours during the week and in weekends. I work all the time so I can’t come in until after work, but it’s never available until 7pm!!! 3-7 is the prime swimming time for working folks yet it’s not available. Perhaps the kids should do 5-9pm since they don’t go to sleep at 8pm like us old people! Also why can’t I at least get up in the weekends and go swim early, but no… I can’t swim until the heat of the day because wait for it.. the swim team dominated!!
Love the class offerings and everyone is so friendly!
I've visited numerous Y's while traveling. Palm Harbor's Y is cleaner, has friendlier staff and mich better workout equipment.
I worked out today, 26 May 2026. During my entire work out, one of the televisions in the main gym broadcast extreme far right wing propaganda on Fox News. Then in front of the men's room is a photograph of former Representative Chris Sprowls who supported Florida's infamous "Don't Say Gay" bill, which encourages LGBT youth to commit suicide. YMCA's decision to honor hate-filled bigotry is simply disgusting.
I always look forward to coming to the Palm Harbor YMCA.
I am greeted every time I go by the front people. Classes are great. Everything is very clean.
I started our Y membership 27 years ago and have a family plan. The truth is, it is now only my wife and I that go as the kids are all grown. The community the Y creates is great and I really enjoy seeing the groups that meet up in the mornings for coffee and a work out and often chat with them as I come in or go out. In terms of the facilities, there has been some really nice improvements lately, but the one aspect they could still work on is adding saunas facility--hence the 9 (go for the 10!).
The facility is perfect for what I need. Gym equipment is repaired quickly if it is out of order, variety of gym equipment is great.
Friendly helpful staff, and lots of great classes
Love everything about this YMCA. best YMCA we have ever visited. This YMCA is the reason I want to live in Crystal /beach. To have such a wonderful facility so close to home is a wonderful thing!
The website is not easy to use and the staff upfront usually do not have any answers for questions.
temperature in gym part too cold very uncomfortable when sweating.also pool water is too cold uncomfotable for swimming
Great staff, great facility, conveniently located
The people there are always friendly and sometimes that helps drive your desire to improve yourself with new workouts and activities available there.
Thankfully Silver Sneakers allows me to go. If I had to pay, it wld be too expensive.
It's so very crowded most of the time, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for that reason alone.Pinellas County is just so overpopulated.
Group classes are targeted at seniors and are held during times that working people can’t make. Also more variety in classes would be nice. Bring back Chi Gong
I adore Wilda’s classes, and she is also lovely. I do recommend her to others.
Great staff and facility
I rally like the new equipment. Please consider extending the weekend hours.
Clean. Friendly and extremely helpful employees. Instructors for a lot of the classes have been great. The variety they offer is outstanding. I can get all my variety I want right at the YMCA in Palm Harbor. I no longer need to go to the gym. I can do it all right there! Very happy I joined.
The staff are welcoming and friendly. We enjoy working out at the Y.
I look forward to the many cardio/strength classes that keep me fit and heart healthy. The instructors are the best. Love the Y.
A wonderful place to be. Lots of energy. Choices for classes
They offer many classes that interest me!
Fix dangerously broken benches at Pickleball courts and improve relations with pickleball players, a group very supportive of the Y fundraising,
Also address poor acoustics in large yoga classes- better PA system with direct Wi-Fi connection to hearing aid users (many)
As soon as a person walks through the door at this YMCA, they feel like they’re a member of something bigger than they thought. People look up and smile at you and make me feel like I’m a part of something when I come to work out. The teaching faculty here are very conscientious about making eye contact in adapting their workout to the members in the class with strong advice and modifications for different people’s strengths. I am so impressed with the overall cleanliness of the facility. I have invited many of my friends to come and work out with me so that together we can maintain health and well-being thank you to the staff at the Palm Harbor YMCA.
It would depend on the individual. My friends who also have young children/families, I would definitely recommend. It’s a smaller but very well maintained facility. My daughter hates her stroller, so without the childcare at the YMCA I would not be able to run. I love having a safe and caring place to drop my daughter off so I can be active in a way that I love.
Lots of options, clean facilities
Great instructors!
Friendly atmosphere.
Because my grandkids do not live in my home, I cannot get discounts on swim lessons or spend time with them at the pool. This is very disappointing
The body pump class gets VERY crowded which feels unsafe when stepping back for lunges. It really needs a bigger space because the reservation system doesn’t seem to make a difference. Coming in to set up for body pump feels like Black Friday because everyone is scrambling for a spot.
The instructors for every class I’ve attended has been amazing, though, which is why I keep coming back.
Need a sauna. More classes, pilates and dance. At times that are not during the work day and are not over filled
