Review of New Tampa Family YMCA

Very friendly and professional staff. I don't love that the gymnasium is open and central to the rest of the facility, and the outdoor pool is huge but with no deep end nor diving boards. I'm learning this is mainly a risk-averse litigious-phobic southeast US problem. YMCAs north and west have more exciting and risky endeavors available. Having said that, I have to be honest and point out the indoor climbing wall and gymnastics room. Unusual for a Y and cool to see. But I do weep for all the beautiful pools with no diving.

However, this Y is not bad. The men's locker room was not terribly clean, but it was a Sunday and cleanliness can be an issue near the end of the weekend. The staff was great and the wellness equipment was more than satisfactory. All the wellness staff is personal trainer certified.
