I have been taking silver sneakers classes. The room that we use is too small for the amount of people that are attending. It is not a safe environment to be that close to eveyone. Plus the equipment not being monitored weights falling apart balls deflated and floors dirty. Also cabinet coming off hinges hanging like that for months.

I love this place! I’ve been going there for a year now and the verity of the programs, the pool and the workout/gym side are amazing. The cherry on top are the employees and coaches, there to HELP with a smile on their faces, and that’s should be the goal for a recreational place!! They make my day every time I step in…. Thank you 😊 …

One of the best YMCA that I have been to. Plus I think it's basically the best YMCA in the area so I drive 40miles just to use this YMCA. There are 2 YMCA that are closer to my location but the "Jim & Heather Gills YMCA" has much more equipment and other options to use. So when I want to go to a YMCA I normally make the drive to this YMCA location.

I would NOT recommend this location unless you do not value your time. I’ve been a member for some months now. Been to multiple YMCA locations in Downtown Tampa, Soho, Riverview, etc. I attend BodyPump class based upon the schedule that each location posts online.The Jim & Heather Gills YMCA location seems to have an ISSUE WITH PROPERLY UPDATING THEIR ONLINE SCHEDULES. I set my alarm for this Saturday morning & drove a lengthy distance to participate in the 9:15am BodyPump class that they advertised online, only to be advised that there was really no BodyPump class at that time. Apparently, the class was not cancelled due to an instructor being sick or anything substantial. Reps at this YMCA location simply forgot to communicate this scheduling update to members online. Very unprofessional. They wasted my gas & time. Support other locations.
