New Tampa Family YMCA

I like the atmosphere and enjoy going to the group fitness classes. I can always find a machine or treadmill to work out on. There’s a variety of options and I am able to make it work with my schedule. I enjoy the front desk people’s help when I need it. The short distance from home makes it worth it too, a good location for the neighborhoods nearby. The location is smaller than other YMCA’s but is pretty nice all the same. Sometimes there’s noise from the basketball courts which can be disruptive when doing a yoga class or other quieter ones that cause relaxation. These classes are usually in studio B, which is closer to the courts, so it’s just a natural scheduling caveat. They have a lot of kid programs and homeschooling resources I’ve seen advertised. I don’t have kids but I see many families attending them. There are kids at the pool, playing basketball and at the little kids play room when I get there in the evenings. There are even options for them to join age appropriate fitness classes with an adult.

We have had a membership at the YMCA in New Tampa for 20 years now. The staff is consistently friendly and professional. Great selection of classes, programs, and equipment. Recently I inquired about a senior membership for our elderly mother and Maura at the front desk was so helpful! She guided us to a free membership through Medicare that we did not know about. Thank you, Maura!

We come to swim, so my review might be lopsided somewhat. The Y is the only proper swimming pool in the area, with well-trained lifeguards on duty, the poolside chair lift, the locker room has a water extractor for swim suits. My only wish would be modernized shower stalls and perhaps more of them. The gym looks great as well. Awesome staff, the hours are convenient enough. Even with the summer hours, and summer camps, the place is clean, accessible and relatively calm. Thank you for giving our family a place of respite:)
