I wanted to compliment the Director and counselors (and childcare staff) at the Lakewood Ranch…read moreBrand YMCA. Having been both a camp counselor and camp director myself, I am extremely impressed with the way that the camps are run. I have a 13-year-old daughter who has an attended the half day basketball and volleyball camp. She is going to attend the soccer camp as well. Her basketball Camp began when all the other camps started as well. Despite multiple types of camps and many children, campers were quickly grouped and joined with their counselors and locations. I have been inside the center while camp is in session, and I am extremely impressed by the way communication works between staff members. Walkie talkies are constantly being used, and students are being counted and accounted for. I appreciate that the pool is used exclusively for campers during the day, to maintain camper safety. All counselors seem genuinely happy to be with their campers, and everything is extremely orderly. Counselors are bright and energetic in the morning at check in. My daughter's counselor Austin comes to check her out in the afternoon and always had a positive attitude and great things to say about her. He is personable and we have seen him outside of camp hours and he maintains the same composure and energy. I feel extremely safe allowing my children to attend camps and activities here. We are also extremely impressed with the childcare center. I have a 2 yr old that has been attending the Y for around 6 months. I drop her off with confidence to three knowledgeable, caring and friendly staff members. She is always happy at pick up and excited to attend. Prior to finding the Y, we were at LA Fitness, where we were extremely unhappy. On one occasion, the childcare supervisor allowed her to play for an unknown length of time in the bathroom. We picked her up soaking wet, with no explanation as to what happened. We still don't know if she was playing in the toilet or the sink. Needless to say, we canceled our LA Fitness membership that evening. As for the athletic club itself, members take pride in the club and are constantly wiping down machines before and after use. There are also staff members on hand who do the same. The group fitness classes are challenging, but also modifiable. The group fitness instructors are positive and energetic, and you feel great after a workout. We are so thrilled to have found the YMCA and are proud to be a part of it.

Larissa, the head of aquatics, is trying her best to improve the pool situation. She is friendly…read moreand has great ideas. I give her an A+. She needs more support in her efforts, however. Items that come to mind are: purchase new flag lines, refinish the pool deck, replace doors in the pump building, install a true water cooling system for the hot summer months, purchase new time clocks, and add new aquatic activities. Note that the pool water is very clean and the lifeguards are attentive. The Y will be competing for members with the county aquatics center opening this fall in Lakewood Ranch. I suggest the Y become more proactive before people cancel their memberships.

Want to have fun, feel energized, meet people, move to the music and get fit all at the same time?…read more Then you have to do what I did, and get over to Jazzercise at Woodmere Park! (Or a location near you) I used to be a dyed-in-the-wool "gym rat", at the gym at 5:30am when they opened, doing the same thing 5 days every week for years (yawn). No wonder I got bored! But with Karen (the owner/instructor) and the other instructors at Jazzercise, it's always fresh, because everyone's personalty is different. So each one has something unique to bring to each class, keeping it upbeat and fun. We work out, we sweat, we laugh, and we leave feeling energized. When's the last time YOU laughed when you were working out???

This was my first stop in to join my wife who is happily addicted to the exercise experience here…read more While it is a franchise, the folks who own here, Ruben and Roberta, are fun, friendly and diligent. Ruben is one of the instructors. The equipment is top notch, the instructors must complete a rigorous training program and observation - so you're in good hands. Focus is on form and technique to avoid injury and maximize the benefits of a 45 minute rowing class. It simulates actual skulling with displays showing your individual stats and the entire classes as well. Several types of classes - some that combine intervals of weight lifting and stretching with rowing - are offered. Great workout for legs, core and cardio. Be prepared, it's challenging for anyone not in shape!

Even if just open row without a coach. Staff is very nice. Coaches are very personable. They say the classes are appropriate for beginners through advanced fitness levels. I would recommend the Restore classes which are limited if you are not in at least average fitness shape. When I first started they had some 30 minute express restore classes which I found challenging as a newbie. They have express signature classes as an option which incorporates light hand weights interspersed with rowing intervals. For more intense exercise options they have 45 minute full row classes. Price wise they are fair when comparing to other specialty/ boutique gyms. Multiple price points from $79 for 4 classes a month to $159 unlimited. They will have specials on holidays, free into sessions and packages. They celebrate meter milestones! Holiday themed rows as well.

Shari, and everyone else, are so supportive and understanding that I couldn't have found a better place to work out. Speaking of everyone else, her team of instructors are absolutely incredible.

I found Soul Rooster on ClassPass and decided to give it a go, signing up for the S3 Core class. I…read moredidn't really know what to expect, but the trainer, Chris, quickly explained how the class would proceed, gave us a demo of the rowing machines, and showed us how to properly use the TRX ropes. The workout was very low impact, which was a nice change from all the crazy stuff you find out there these days. My fiancé, friend, and I all still worked up a decent sweat. It was definitely beginner friendly, but the exercises could easily be adjusted for higher difficulty. Exercises included rows, squats, pull-ups, and lunges with the TRX ropes, dumbbell chest presses, bicycle kicks, planks, and rowing. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. Chris was very enthusiastic and helpful, constantly moving around the gym to make sure everyone had good form. It seems like he has amassed a regular crowd, which says a lot about him as a trainer. I would definitely go to Soul Rooster again, especially if I'm in the need for something low impact with variety to stave off the boredom that so often goes hand in hand with working out.
