My family has been a member of the gym for about a year and we love it. The downstairs weight room…read morehas everything you need for upper and lower body. Upstairs is a ton of cardio equipment and a room for stretching or using the medicine balls. There are also basketball courts, a walking track and racquetball. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly. The weight room can get busy around 5:00pm but we've never had a problem finding a machine upstairs to use. We're very happy with this gym.

It never feels overcrowded, which makes it easy to take your time and move comfortably through your workout. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always accommodating. As for the pool area, I haven't used it yet, but it's reassuring to see a lifeguard always on duty. The view of the pool from the gym is a nice touch, and the space itself is thoughtfully designed with both a kids' area and a full size pool for laps. One of these days, I'll definitely have to take advantage of it. Great job City of Tamarac

I would understand if it was closed during the months of November - January because it's cold but it's hot now!!!

I found Croissant Park Pool while staying at my sister-in-law's in Ft. Lauderdale. I love swimming,…read moreand wanted something to do while she was at work. I went for the Aqua-Zen & Hydro-Fitness classes. The teachers were both great; energetic and engaging. The classes were a mix of people. Lots of boaters, but that might be true for anything in Ft. Lauderdale. Water aerobics is easier on the joints so while it's good for everyone, it's one of the few exercises people can do if they have joint issues, or are recovering from an injury. While it isn't the same as swimming laps, I was definitely sore after my first class. I also like that classes are often back-to-back. So if you're like me and want to do two classes in a row it's easy to do. Your first class is free. If you just want to try it, see what it's like, you can go at no charge to you. If you enjoy it classes end up costing about $4 a class. Much more reasonable than Soul Cycle or Orange Theory and still a great work out. And it's outside! Hydro Fitness*: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10 - 11 a.m. Water Aerobics I Schedule*: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 8:30 - 9:30 a.m. Saturday 10 - 11 a.m. Aqua Zen Schedule*: Wed 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Pricing: Resident: $30/10-visits $75/30-visits Non-Resident: $45/10-visits $112.50/30-visits Senior/Military Resident: $15/10-visits $45/30-visits Senior/Military Non-Resident: $25/10-visits $75/30-visits If you wanted to do your own lap swim routine, Adult Swim is at the same time as the classes. There are lockers on site. Bring your own lock. Everyone in the class was also really nice. I think they said they even go out to lunch once a month. If you're into water sports it's a good way to get some water based cross training in.

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.

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.
