South Tampa Family YMCA - Non-profit organization in Tampa - ​4411 S Himes Ave, USA

The South Tampa YMCA has truly exceeded my expectations. The facility not only maintains a high standard of cleanliness but also radiates a positive and inviting atmosphere. The staff, consistently friendly, is dedicated to ensuring a holistic well-being for each member, providing guidance that goes beyond just physical fitness. The state-of-the-art equipment is not only in great working order but is also strategically arranged to optimize the workout experience. It’s evident that the staff takes pride in maintaining a seamless and efficient environment for everyone. The pools, including the lap pool and kids’ pool, are gems of the facility. The crystal-clear water and well-maintained surroundings create a serene and enjoyable aquatic experience. The lifeguards, qualified and professional, not only prioritize safety but do so with a courteous and approachable demeanor.

The location itself adds to the appeal, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking a comprehensive and enjoyable wellness experience.

Family friendly, excellent choice of classes for adults and children, along with a very helpful and able staff. This Y also provides child care, and I love using the pools! I swim laps in the lap pool, and enjoy the family pool with my grandchildren.

We've been waiting to access the pool for the last 90 minutes. It's mid-summer and it's a bright/sunny day. The aquatics manager is unresponsive... unacceptable. We're paying customers. Do better.

It’s more than a gym to workout. It’s about relationships. Everyone is so friendly compared to other gyms I visit. Our instructor encourages us and brings in a wholistic view of health; mind, body & soul. I love it! Their aquatic center is beautiful and well maintained. It’s design allows me to feel more like I am at a relaxing park and not like stuck in my old crowded high school gym class.

I love going to the YMCA. Only thing I was kind of worried was signing a waiver like if something happened to me and my family they’re not responsible for it. It is pretty tricky waiver too. You have to read it thoroughly but other than that I love to be at the YMCA. It is wonderful. Some of the staff are nice. Some of them are Eric and some of them are not so nice. The new manager they have he’s nice I like him. He’s a younger gentleman but the other manager Scott he’s not so polite with me. I don’t really care too much for him my daughter visit for summer camp and she got her head split from swimming because the staff told her to jump in after she said she couldn’t swim, this is in 2019. I wasn’t so happy with camp at the YM Because my daughter got hurt and she had a mark on her head I was not happy at all but otherwise it’s OK

Great facilities, friendly staff, & fantastic programs for out two boys. Their swimming has improved dramatically , & their basketball skills get stronger each week.

I love this place! Very friendly staff and great classes! The pools are amazing! Just FYI since I’ve seen some people complain about the pool closures…. For safety they have to close the pools for lightening within 8 miles(usually temporarily) so even if it looks sunny at the pool, there could be a storm not far off that makes it so the pools need to close for a bit.

This is the only gym in the area that has a kids room, so we love that! But the weight room has a musty fungal smell. It permeates through the building and has smelled the same way for over a year. So, I’m sure this review is not going to surprise management. I wipe the equipment down before and after use but other people don't seem to do that here. I’m grossed out. I carry multiple gym memberships because I will not go here if I’m not with my kids. Please clean and sanitize, the community will appreciate it!
