My daughter spent the summer at the ymca city branch summer camp. Special shout out to Aydin, Ella, Fibby, Andrew & all the counselors and CITs who made my daughters summer incredible and unforgettable. She had such an amazing time and absolutely LOVED attending summer camp there. Made it easy for drop off and pick up so I could work over the summer while she had fun. They attended several field trips and always had really fun activities planned. New Program Director Jose took over a few months ago and really was eager to please and hear feedback from parents. My daughter cried on her last day when I picked her up as she had grown so close to her counselor Aydin, who was an incredible role model and buddy to my daughter. Very grateful for her experience and memories made. ❤️

My wife just told the YMCA employee that she was paying $95 towards membership but the employee took full $125 amount but told her he only took $95. $125 was taken out the account.

I’’ve always appreciated the YMCA for being a family-friendly and affordable place to stay active, but I was really disappointed by the condition of the aquatic area during my recent visits.

To start, the cleanliness of the pool area is a major concern. The water appeared cloudy, and there was a noticeable chemical odor that didn’t seem normal—almost as if the chlorine levels were either way too high or not being managed properly. The pool tiles had a layer of grime, and I even noticed some mold around the drains and locker room floors, which is unacceptable for a facility that serves so many children and
On top of that, the locker rooms and showers were in poor shape—wet floors, clogged drains, and no soap in the dispensers.

I understand that staffing and maintenance can be a challenge, but basic hygiene and safety should always be a top priority, especially in shared water facilities. I’ve raised these concerns with staff, but I haven’t seen any improvements.

I really hope the YMCA takes this feedback seriously and invests more in keeping the aquatic area clean, safe, and well-supervised.

Places has gone down hill, the prices have gone up but the maintenance and the state of the courts is truly disappointing. There are lots of people that love raquetball and it is a shame that the facility is literally getting run down. Usually Mondays the courts are packed today it was pretty much empty , the state of the courts is horrible. Courts need lots of work

Been at the YMCA for years. I've had enough. I just cannot continue to sweat and juggle my schedule around their totally lame weekend hours of operation. It's as if they look for reasons to shut down or shut down early. Paid to go somewhere else today. They were open

Minimal, old and rusty equipment, especially the free weights. Poor to completely non-responsive service and completely apathetic management especially under incompetent Y leadership. Useless for locals in off season as gym switches to extra fee kids camps at the expense of open gym and pickleball schedules. Seems to be a popular community center for 70+ though. Incredibly poor value given the the insane rates and now that its a Y they will be increasing them even more.

Every other gym in 10 miles is better equipped and a MUCH better value.

Don’t come to this gym if you are an infant mom! Unfortunately the ladies working at the childcare will tell you not to bring your babies under 1 year old, because they can’t take a good care of them, and will tell you not to go on Mondays!! If you know how your childcare ladies work, how you make a working mom to pay for a membership she will never use ?? Those ladies told me to only bring my baby on Wednesday nights from 7:00-7:30 do you guys think that’s right, when I need to workout at least 1 hr, and 5 days a week? I only went like 6 days. And management couldn’t do anything, because I made a couple reservations and the ladies called me again telling me not to go with my baby because they were out of ratio. Hire more people! Is not my problem though. Unfortunately there was no way to get a refund, I honestly used to love this gym, but not anymore, there are better gyms on the area, with new equipment and machines, and better childcare facilities for mothers like me!

Overall I’ve been enjoying my membership, especially the pool! I’ve been teaching my friend how to swim, and mostly the staff and members have been incredibly supportive, until today. A YMCA swim instructor bulldozed her way into the pool and into our space, and another member did the same. It baffles me to think that people feel so entitled that they can literally try to take up the space one is in. At the end of the day, we kept our heads up, and my friend swam for the first time! It was quite exciting 🎉 I’m looking forward to our next series of lessons and for the day that she can say she swims!

Also kudos to the lifeguards and the aquatic director for always making us feel welcome and safe.

Coming to this YMCA Branch has been my first experience with the Y! As I’ve been learning how to swim with a friend, the aquatics center has been such a wonderful place due to the kindness, friendliness, and encouraging nature of both the Lifeguards, the Aquatic Director, and the Y Member!

However, I will say I did have a disappointing encounter where I didn’t feel that one of the Y’s Core value — Respect— was demonstrated. It’s the responsibility of both Staff and Members to show respect for the space that’s being offered to the community, or else it jeopardizes efforts to make the Y a safe place.

Despite the encounter, I’d still highly recommend this joining this Y Branch and making use of its serves.

I requested to host a pool party for my soccer team (ages 6-9) at this facility with not much time in advance. the aquatics and membership departments worked together diligently to ensure that my team had a wonderful time at their establishment. I was not the most prepared, yet Ken and Kyle while also busy with other responsibilities made me feel welcomed and cared for. We had the pool party with much success, but not without the help of the lifeguards who coordinated amongst each other in accordance with YMCA policy and safety. Lastly, I'd like to give a heartfelt admiration to the lifeguard named Forest. He was not scheduled that day, but made an effort to arrive and assist. This experience made me reminisce of my youth and what the Y truly meant. The ideal place for community and youth development.

CoreSRQ is one of the gems of Sarasota that more people should know about. My family enjoys frequent swims at the Aquatics center in the North Branch. Ken has really achieved something amazing by creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. My two children look forward to seeing Ken each week. We started with the family swim lessons until both our little ones became comfortable and skillful swimmers. Ken is like a grandpa to the kids. Outside the pool we echo what they learned from Mr. Ken’s swim class: “Safety first!” And if we go too long without visiting the pool the kids will let us know they miss Mr. Ken!

In addition to the fantastic aquatics center, the gym is great, too. The machines are plentiful and clean. Staff are helpful and friendly. The membership cost is quite affordable for a family. We are so fortunate to have CoreSRQ near where we live. We invite our friends to join and stay fit and healthy. Thank you, CoreSRQ!

I took my 9 month old to the parent and child swim class today. Everyone is SO kind. The guy at the front desk was very helpful, I did not catch his name. He helped me register and was very engaging when we finished class too.

Ken the aquatics director is such a kind and wholesome person. He heard me say my children’s names and he remembered them and wanted us to feel welcome and important. Multiple people stopped to ask him for information and he was so caring with all of us. He is very passionate about what they do in the aquatics department. He will be helping me register both kids

Julie does such a good job with the kids and parents. She knew we haven’t come to class before and came over to ask our names and let me know what to start doing with the baby in the water. She was very sweet with us and I Didn’t feel embarrassed or intimidated for being new and not knowing what to do.
I was honestly scared to come alone today with the baby but I felt so welcomed and comfortable.

I am interested in bringing my son along and will definitely bring the baby back as well.

Ballroom dancing at the Y on Euclid Avenue/Sarasota, FL ... I am a natural-born, lifelong, professionally accredited & certified Arthur Murray Teacher and Ballroom dancer. With that kind of dance background, one is n-o-t a favorite patron at these Y dances ! On my 3rd visit there, the "crowd" there had "had it" with me ! Snippy women, while the men there showed their discontent by not asking me for even ONE single dance a l l evening. One of them even staged a belittling, blunt come-on towards me ! While I am a christian woman, I am available for DANCING ONLY "hint"! Lady dancers: should you venture to dance there, do so at your own risk, you might spend the evening SITTING while having to WATCH other people dance, despite the money you paid being made out of the SAME paper their's is ! and unless you are "available" for "other activities" while I WAS NOT !

Schedules for swimming pool are inaccurate despite repeated attempts asking for up-to-date, accurate schedules. Door to locker rooms are filthy. Door knobs are caked with black dirt. Windows in pool area haven't been washed since I joined in October. Same smudges, dirt, etc!! Some serious maintenance issues for schedules and common areas are needed - badly.

Under “About—Health & Safety,” this summary of CORE SRQ states that masks are required and staff wear masks. That is not true. While staff *finally* wore masks for a month or so at the height of COVID Delta, only a few mask up now. There are NO SIGNS requiring nor encouraging mask wearing. For an organization that touts itself as promoting health and community, that so-called “mission” rings hollow.

The EXVP lacks the ability to communicate in a polite manner; demanded people wear a mask who weren't medically able to, reasoning was invalid; has treated members in a disrespectful manner on numerous occasions. Similar problem with three other staff members being dishonest and rude. Members should be treated with courtesy, respect and understanding.

I joined Core SRQ in June when they offered a 3 month special. I wanted to get into better shape after losing 75 pounds for my wedding in August. I also wanted to see if it was something I could commit to. The staff is so welcoming and the morning 5am crowd have become my new friends. The equipment is well maintained and current. It makes working out fun. Since joining I lost 10 more pounds 😊 I rejoined for another 6 months.

This is my favorite gym and I play racquetball 3-4 times a week. These are great courts. This location has hosted nearly every state tournament for many years, mostly as the former Y. The 2021 tournament was on Father's day weekend and was live broadcast. The new management did an awesome job. The tournament was a big success. The courts were fixed and painted and look great. These walls are solid concrete and play fast. Best courts in Florida I'd say.
All the members and staff are friendly and respectful. The classes and gym are all great, too!
I'm happy to live only 15 blocks away.🙂 I will be a member here the rest of my life. 🖖👍😊
