The new machines are good, too. However, the main reason I want to go is my Zumba instructor, Reema; I eagerly look forward to attending her classes on Thursdays and Saturdays--it's what brings me the most happiness. She is a magnificent instructor who always makes sure we're keeping up with the steps, uses vocal cues to signal when to change moves, keeps everyone motivated, and fosters a comfortable atmosphere even when we occasionally lose our way a bit. Something I particularly like is that, before starting, she always introduces herself and asks if there is anyone new or if it's a special day for someone--like a birthday or anniversary--and encourages us to keep coming back. She is cheerful, motivating, patient, and very attentive. Instructor Reema is amazing. If it weren't for her and the pool, I wouldn't be a member, because the other instructors' styles don't really suit my taste.

There are televisions on showing sporting events. The owner is planning to have live music, trivia, comedy and other event nights as his customer base grows. We stopped in to meet neighborhood friends for dinner and conversation. We started out with drinks and a large charcuterie board. Then added some sliced lamb and steak with some pita bread on the side. Then finished with some mozzarella and tomato skewers and chicken pesto flatbread.

It may get competitive at times but everyone is out there to work hard and win games. I have played on two teams so far in both Summer A and Summer B. The leagues anywhere from 5 to 6 weeks or in the fall they do 8 to 9 weeks. You play one game each night and the league will send out scheduled to all who sign up. The league is not very expensive and you pay to use the park and for the tee shirts and other stuff. At the end of each season they do a tournament to see who wins. The winners get a trophy as well as get to go on a bar crawl with Florida Fun Bikes. Kickball is so much fun and you really get to know people in the community! I highly encourage anyone to go check it out! I am sure you will have so much fun!

Coach Curtis can get you on the right track so you can get the work done and meet your goals! Noticeable lack of zombies as well, which is always a plus.

What I love about this YMCA location is that there is ample equipment and I am able to get a productive workout complete. So far all machines that I have used are in great working condition. Other members too are able to get their workout done with ease unlike other locations where people are on their phone, taking up the machines and not actually using them efficiently. I have gone early morning around 7 AM and I have also gone in the evenings around 7/8 PM. I have not taken any classes yet, but will soon explore some. My only one complaint is that I have unable to use the sauna due to it being out of order. Hopefully, they're able to repair it soon. I have also heard and read in other reviews that it is frequently being repaired. Hopefully that gets resolved soon.

We attended this Easter egg hunt and overall it was a fun concept with a great turnout, but there…read morewere a few things that could really improve the experience, especially for younger kids. First, I do want to say the staff were absolutely lovely. We arrived before everything was already set up, and they let my two young children help with scattering some of the eggs beforehand, which was a really kind and memorable touch. They were also great about sharing information on other programs, including a YMCA date night service where parents can drop off their kids while they enjoy dinner and a movie, which honestly sounds like something we might try in the future. The setup itself was a classic "scatter and go" format, with plastic eggs spread across a field and kids released at the same time. While exciting, it always makes things pretty chaotic, and our two-year-old ended up with candy like hard Jolly Ranchers and gum, which aren't really appropriate for toddlers and felt like a bit of a miss given the age range advertised for the section we were told to participate in. For future events, it would be great if the eggs in the under-3 section were filled only with toddler-appropriate items to help avoid potential choking hazards and make the experience more enjoyable, and less stressful, for parents of little ones. The bigger issue, though, was the "golden egg" system. The idea is great, special eggs with prizes inside, but in practice it created some awkward dynamics. We saw families staking out golden eggs ahead of time, including one instance where a parent encouraged their child to literally sit with their hand on an egg before the event started. I'm not here to judge anyone, but it did take away from the fairness and fun of the hunt. A simple fix would be to go more "Willy Wonka" style next time, hide the golden prize as a surprise inside regular eggs rather than making them visible targets. That would keep the excitement while making things feel a lot more equitable for all kids. Overall, a fun event with great staff and good energy, but a few thoughtful tweaks could make it much more enjoyable and inclusive for everyone.

I'm sitting at work on a Friday afternoon, and a coworker asks me, "Do you want to watch hot girls…read morein lingerie play tackle football tonight?" ...I was offended he felt the need to ask. So, not knowing what to expect, we rolled down to the Citrus Bowl that night and became instant fans of the sport. Let's get that out of the way first. This is a real sport. More specifically, it's tackle football, coached by former NFL players/coaches, it has trades/free agency, and the girls are running real football plays with wide receivers shifting in motion and QB silent counts. One major difference between the LFL and standard football is the teams have to pass at least twice every set of downs to discourage teams from getting too run-happy. The end result is an exciting blend of beauty, brawn, bras, and panties. Our experience at the Citrus Bowl was fantastic. The stadium announcer did a good job of getting the crowd fired up, and they played a constant mix of Jock Jams to keep the party rolling at all times. My buddy and I were remarking that the music at the stadium was better than local radio. We heard songs like Get Ready For This, Whoomp There It Is, The Power, Welcome to the Jungle, Hip Hop Hooray, and Rock and Roll Part 2. Combine that with alcohol and sexy football, and it was good times! After the game, the Orlando Fantasy met with their fans to sign autographs and pose for pictures. The players were all down-to-earth, and that's just one of the many reasons why this sport is gaining in popularity. I'm not a fan of fantasy football, but I am a fan of Orlando Fantasy football. If you want to learn more about it, like the Facebook page for the LFL. You can also watch the games on MTV2 on Friday nights. It's nearing the end of the regular season now, which leads into the playoffs and ultimately the Lingerie Bowl which coincides with the Super Bowl.
