There's so many things wrong with this gym. I'll start with how tiny it is. Even though there are a…read morefew equipments I like, the price doesn't justify what you get as a whole. Then there's the owner. We've tried to cancel several times. We have done everything the owner asked us to do to cancel and not draft out of our account. It's going on 5 months since we canceled. Still taking out the fees. That's criminal! We live in gulf breeze and there are really no good options far as choices in gyms other than the Y. That's the only reason this... I guess you can call it a "gym" exists. I've read other comments on yelp and it looks like we're not the only ones getting ripped off by this owner.

This YMCA is great. Reading the other reviews, I am going to attempt to address some of the…read morecomplaints. 1. Parking: Yeah, the parking isn't ideal, but they do the best they can! There is a small lot with about 15 spots behind the Y, about half the time I am able to park there easily. If that small lot is full, there is a parking garage directly across the street, the only downside to this is that you have to validate your ticket, and there is a 2.5 hour limit, which is usually more than enough but it is nice to not have to think about the time limit, which is why I prefer to park in the small lot behind the Y. 2. Staff: I have no idea what these other reviews are talking about when they say that the staff members are snarky or not helpful. All staff, specifically at the front desk, are kind, helpful, and even have gone the extra mile to learn my name even though I do not visit extremely frequently (~once a week, maybe twice.) 3. People on their phones on the equipment: Honestly, I've seen this happen (I've even done it myself at times) But typically its just someone sending a text or changing a song. I have never seen someone sit on their phone for more than 30 seconds on each machine. Stop by this Y, meet the staff, you won't be disappointed.

The location of the Y was poorly planned. The building is small, parking is atrocious. It is a…read morenice facility, but for the increasing number of members, there shouldn't be a reason that you have to consistently look for non-peak times to get in a workout. The pool is TINY. Only 4 lanes with one being for walk aerobics. You usually have to share your lane with one to two other swimmers. You also have to walk to the pool from the locker room area next to the lobby. That makes absolutely no sense. The pool is also located in a glassed area next to the upper level workout rooms. So, be prepared for LOUD music being played while you swim and constant traffic from gym members. Front desk staff haven't been trained in customer service. No greetings, have their phones in front of them, when you have questions, they just point to self-service. Not quite sure why there needs to be a paid position for someone who doesn't seem to have a purpose being there. No way to improve on this except for moving to a bigger, better planned building and hire new staff or retrain existing staff.

Not sure what it would look like when the HPCON level changes. The hours of operation are posted on the MWR website, and has changed periodically from November of 2020 until now, March 2021. Keep checking there for updates as times they are open changes. The gym is organized, clean, and closes for cleaning periodically throughout the work day. The basketball courts are closed for the time being and covid measures are taken seriously here. They will have a line to get into the gym and also to get into the weight room and cardio area when they reach capacity. The staff is nice and professional, and this is a good gym to go to.

If you are looking for a personal trainer in the Pensacola area, your best bet is to go to Malik!…read more I messaged him about a problem that my 11-year-old son was having with bullying, telling him that my son had asked if he could start going to the gym and I did not know where to start. Malik took him in with no hesitation. It's only been about three weeks of biweekly classes and I can already tell his confidence has grown from being with Malik. The prices are extremely reasonable, and there are discount for multiples (my husband and son go together sometimes) his location is convenient for almost anyone on the east side of Pensacola. As far as workouts go, I can tell that just the last 20 minutes that I come in and listen to them, he knows what he is doing. Malik pushes but also builds you up and hype you up at the same time. All in all, this is a great gym. The equipment is new and modern. The hours are also very accommodating. Check out his Facebook page for more, that's where I found him!
