Jim & Heather Gills YMCA - St. Petersburg (FL)

1 /5 Tati Sch: ★☆☆☆☆ Very Disappointing Sauna Experience I’m extremely disappointed with the co-ed sauna situation at this YMCA location. There are no clear rules posted for co-ed use, and because of that, the environment feels uncomfortable and unwelcoming. I tried to use the sauna twice on Sunday and wasn’t able to either time. It was completely packed with men who made no effort to make space, even when it was obvious that other members were waiting. Another woman came in, took one look, and immediately walked out as well. If the YMCA is going to offer a co-ed sauna, there needs to be gender-specific times or clearly posted expectations for respectful, shared use. Right now, it’s clear that some people don’t understand basic courtesy, and it leaves women feeling pushed out of a space we are paying to use. I hope management takes this seriously and actually addresses the issue.

5 /5 Nicholas Scott: Kelly was extremely nice and helpful in getting me signed up with the other ladies also being pleasant! Never too crowded and plenty of room to move around. The rock wall was a surprise and have already used it. The jacuzzi and pool are always clean. Glad I finally went down and got signed up! I definitely recommend.

5 /5 Dominique Mitchell: I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the training Ive received from Zach at the YMCA. He is incredibly attentive and truly knowledgeable about the human body, which has made all the difference in my recovery journey. Having undergone two knee surgeries by the age of 38, gained weight, I never expected to regain the strength and mobility I once had. Since training with Zach, Ive accomplished feats that I havent been able to do in four years! His thoughtful approach and personalized workouts have helped me feel stronger and more confident than ever. I am absolutely over the moon with my results! If youre looking for a dedicated and skilled trainer who understands the unique challenges of rehabilitation, I highly recommend Zach. Thank you, Zach and the entire YMCA community

5 /5 Cathaleen K: Lots of reviews are complaints from non members. My son loves the kid zone. Its hard to find a place im confident hell be safe in and have fun, while I get an hour workout in. Classes are excellent! Especially functional fitness. The staff are friendly and helpful. Frances is especially nice personable and keeps us coming back. Being a ymca member is the best value membership we have hands down.

1 /5 Tamara Kerr: The staff is amazing!! So helpful!! However, the outside surrounding the property is a disgusting sewer! Garbage is EVERYWHERE!! The owners need to tell their landscaper not to mow over the tons of garbage on the lawn!! Now, theres teeney, tiny pieces of trash on every single inch of grass on that property. Its a totally disgusting and filthy place!! I thought friends would join me now because of all the garbage everywhere they wont. Pictures are coming soon,also.
