I've been going to The Peter Blum Family YMCA for years, and overall it's a good place -- but there…read moreare definitely some important pros and cons. Let me start with the positives. The management team is always very polite and helpful. One of the main reasons I've stayed so long is their wide variety of classes -- yoga, BodyPump, Pilates, Zumba, HIIT, BodyCombat, and more. I used to LOVE the BodyPump and BodyCombat classes, especially with instructors Zoe and Cindy Lee -- they were incredible. So much energy, motivation, always correcting form and really engaging with the class. Truly my favorites. Unfortunately, after they left, I stopped attending those classes. I did try the new instructor, but the experience was very different -- loud in an uncomfortable way, lots of personal talk during class, and overall not the same professional atmosphere. There was also an awkward situation that made me feel unwelcome. I was filming myself and my friend briefly (as I sometimes do), making sure no one else was in the background. The instructor approached me in a way that felt unnecessarily confrontational, repeating the same comment about not filming, even after I had already stopped and put my phone away. After that, I felt uncomfortable returning to those classes and eventually stopped going altogether -- especially when I noticed the same energy during future visits. That said, the yoga classes are still excellent -- very strong instructor and great experience. The gym itself is well-equipped with modern machines, always clean, and offers great amenities: sauna, steam room, and a pool. Kids' programs are also a big plus -- my children have been taking swimming classes there for years (we've been coming here for about 6 years total), and they love it. When they were younger, we also attended "mommy & me" classes, which were wonderful -- lots of songs, playtime, and interaction. There's also a kids' playroom with staff, toys, and activities, as well as two playgrounds. They even have a daycare, and a small indoor play area available on weekends -- very family-friendly overall. Now, a couple of serious downsides. The building is quite old, and during rainy season the roof leaks -- I've seen water dripping in areas like the café and even the gym floor, with buckets placed underneath instead of fixing the issue. That's definitely concerning. Another important issue is the parking lot. There is an exposed metal rod sticking out where a parking stopper used to be, right near the front entrance by the windows. I personally had a scary experience with it -- it pressed into my car wheel, and I was lucky it didn't puncture the tire. I reported it and even left a review about it, but a year later it still hasn't been fixed. Please be very careful when parking in that area. Overall, it's a place with great potential, strong programs, and a family-friendly environment -- but also with some issues that really should be addressed.

I've been going there for a couple years and mostly do the classes. They have a wide range of…read moredifficulties, ranging from the tough (Body Combat) to ones geared for seniors such as chair yoga. I prefer the middle range with classes like Pilates and barre. I do wish they would mix up the class times once in a while because I've been going for about two years and schedule hasn't changed much so I end up doing the same classes each week. The instructor Jennifer is great. I love that she does different things each week so I don't get bored with it. The place is clean, large, good staff, nice pool. I like the E gym so you don't have to adjust weights as it remembers when you scan your bracelet. They have a lot of community/family based events.

This is an awesome facility and I truly enjoy spending time there. There's something for everyone no matter what your fitness goals are-- during my time as a member I've gone from "taking a break" from working out and doing a lot of yoga/relaxing and now currently getting back into a bodybuilding program. The gym offers a variety of equipment and I never have to improvise due to lack of equipment. I might be staying the obvious here, but if you are into powerlifting, I would probably go elsewhere. The cardio machines are brand new and really nice. The actual place itself is very clean. I feel totally comfortable showering in the locker room and they have everything you need- towels, body wash, lotion, razors, etc. The outdoor pool is really pretty and nice to relax at after a workout. Staff is super nice and helpful. I have yet to buy any food from the cafe but it looks good. Definitely some good options if you're in a bind or spending a long time there. I will gladly pay the extra $ to train in a clean and peaceful gym.

During the conversation, she was told, "We don't honor that without an additional fee. Given your demographic, it looks like you can't afford that." If there was an eligibility issue or additional fee, it should have been explained respectfully. No customer should be spoken to this way. Management should review this incident and ensure members and prospective members are treated with professionalism and respect.

Absolutely awful experience. I've been looking to leverage the center activities around Pickleball…read more After stopping in a couple of times, I learned that their entire customer schedule is 100% manual. So, I called for a clinic and put my name down. BTW, a customer has to call to register, There is nothing automated. Customers have to call a week before, or sooner. Scheduling beyond that is not permitted. I showed up for my clinic to discover that they only had 1 person registered and my name wasn't there even though I called and was confirmed registered. No cancellation calls, nor emails (because nothing is automated). The reality check for me was that their front desk was it was covered with paper/forms and it took them a while to find the right form. A scene of the 1990s. I was shocked this center functions with everything being manual!!! Absolutely discourage anyone from using their services until they upgrade.

Classes run by the half hour in a separate room divided by three huge windows from their parents. Age and skill level groups work with instructors in a relaxed but structured method. We were at another place, which was not as well run and my son would scream during his lessons, which was heartbreaking, so this is the place to learn and enjoy. Payment is per month and a nice perk is a free lesson during your birthday month. Scheduling can be arranged via their website, calling or in person. They have several changing rooms and bathrooms.

I immediately call my contractor who was hard to get ahold of and schedule a leak detection. It was just 2 weeks later and the owner calls me very upset again basically yelling telling me again he's going to need to charge me for more chemicals and that he can't go on like this - big drama unfolds. I explained I am trying my hardest to fix the situation, maybe we can pause service until then? find some sort of solution? but without extra money he just decides to tell me "good luck finding another pool company" he calls his employee on the spot and has him leave without completing service. I am writing this here because I'm shocked to learn how disposable customers are to them. How little courtesy I was given just leaves me without words.

They will waste your money and your time. Our pool had turned green so I hired them to turn it around. After speaking with the owner I decided to continue to use them for our weekly service. After 3 visits I noticed our pool was starting to turn green again. The owner said we needed a new filter, I told him that we needed time to get the filter replaced, however In the meantime the pool was turning green again. He said he would send someone out to look at it. Instead of sending someone out, he text me teeing me that he no longer had anyone to service the pool and it turning green again wasn't his problem. Seriously go with someone else!

5 Stars We are…read moreabsolutely amazed by the results of Ms. Julie's swim lessons! Our 3-year-old daughter, who has always been resistant to swimming, learned to swim confidently in just 5 days. She can now swim across the pool all by herself! Ms. Julie is hands down the best swim instructor we've ever seen. Her warm and comfortable pool, combined with her patient and expert teaching style, made all the difference. We had tried lessons at other places like Boca Swim before, but they didn't even come close to what Julie offers. The transformation was incredible--our daughter can now handle situations like being thrown into the pool or going down a water slide and landing underwater. She's able to swim back to safety with ease, which gives us so much peace of mind. Julie offers a variety of options, including private lessons at her pool or yours, solo or group lessons, and a teaching style that truly works for kids who are fearful or hesitant in the water. If you're on the fence about whether your child can learn to swim, Ms. Julie will change that! We couldn't be more grateful.
