My wife and I regularly visit the St. Pete area 1-2x/ year for 1 or 2 weeks and have always utilized the Y’s week pass for $30. We’ve enjoyed this facility very much but were dealt a blow this morning when we arrived there to find out they no longer offer a weekly or daily use fee and that the only option was to join for 1 year. The woman at the front desk was very nice about it and tried to assist us but to no avail. The gentleman who was there with her was quite rude. When I mentioned that all gyms basically offer a variety of use fees, he unsympathetically stated “not this one”. My only assumption can be is that they would like to keep us transients out of their facility. Community center? I think not! Christian? I think not!! Very disappointing!!
I absolutely love this facility and had worked out here previously when visiting, but today was told the policy has changed and I am no longer allowed to come as a guest unless accompanied by a member. I am very disappointed in this, especially since I have been here previously and also as there is no mention of this on the website, which I checked previous to my visit here to ensure I could work out here. I hope the facility will consider changing this policy for people like me that treat the gym and its members with respect and care and would like to enjoy a workout while visiting from out of town.
We joined this YMCA when we saw the water slide. We have a neighborhood pool but it isn’t heated so we thought this would be a great alternative. Nope the water is cold. The slide doesn’t work and hasn’t for over a year now. We came back today, hoping some of the stuff had been fixed not only was it not fixed, but there was more stuff broken. I was so cold I couldn’t swim my laps and when I changed in the locker room, I couldn’t spin the water out of my bathing suit because the spin machine didn’t work. It just seems like no one cares. I mentioned how cold the water was to the lifeguard he tried to tell me that it was 83°. I could’ve saved a trip and gone swimming in my own freezing neighborhood pool.
How much time should I spend in the gym or exercising on each exercise machine? For me, it should be about five to 10 or 15 minutes. I think that everyone who comes to use the gym here and pays a membership fee, of course, when living with other people, you must have manners. I am one of them. Today, there was an old woman waiting for the ride I was playing. She didn't come to tell me directly that she was waiting. She went to tell the staff and then told me that she had been waiting to play the next ride after me for about 10 minutes. For me, it was like kicking me out of the ride I was playing, which was really disgusting because there are 10 rides in this place. I think there are more than 50 to 60 rides. You can play other rides, but you let the staff call me and talk to me and the staff in front of me that I had been playing this ride for a long time and had been waiting for me for 10 minutes, which was really disgusting. Why did it have to be the ride I was playing? Why didn't you choose to play something else?Since I paid the correct membership fee, why should I have to please others at this gym?
No guest passes which is essentially privatizing a public community gym and center. Stop accepting tax subsides from us as a community if you aren’t going to allow members to pay for a day pass like all the other ymcas across the country do.
