I absolutely loved my visit to Chocolate Emporium in St. Armands! 🍫❤️ I’m a big chocolate lover, so I was definitely excited to try some of their truffles. I tried the dark chocolate almond clusters, the banana pudding truffle, and the dark chocolate cherry truffle, and I honestly loved them all! 😍 The banana pudding truffle was such a fun surprise, and the dark chocolate cherry was so delicious. It has half of a maraschino cherry inside, which makes every bite even more special! 🍒🍫 There were so many other truffles that I wanted to try, but I had to stop myself! 😂 I’m definitely coming back because I need to try more of them. Such a sweet little find in St. Armands! 🍫✨

I want to take a moment to share how grateful I am that the YMCA at Potter Park was saved and continues to be here for our Sarasota community. Having this resource available means so much to local families and the children who will shape our future. Before joining this YMCA, I was a member at another gym where I never felt comfortable leaving my child in the childcare center. I spent my entire workout worrying and checking in because I did not feel confident in the care being provided. So many visibly areas that were gross. Kids fighting with each other and it not being handled with an no tolerance approach. The was one adult to I don’t even know how many kids. Ultimately, I canceled my membership because the childcare situation was not reassuring. The YMCA at Potter Park has been a completely different experience. I am finally able to focus on my physical and mental well-being because I know my child is safe, happy, and truly cared for. From the moment he walks in, Ms. Sabrina and Ms. Ellie greet him, play with him, and make him feel welcome. They engage the children with puzzles, cars, blocks, and activities that encourage social skills, sharing, being kind to others, confiden

YMCA summer camp: Nick is an excellent manager and an even better person. I truly appreciate all of his hard work and support. He has been a tremendous help with my kids, and he’s one of the main reasons I chose the YMCA camp. His kindness, professionalism, and dedication make a real difference.

The Palmer Ranch YMCA has been a God send. We recently relocated to Sarasota and had no one to watch our son during the day when I work at home in a small place we are renting while we find a home and while we work from home. So our son goes to summer camp during the day, with loads of activities and food each day. They also have an amazing rec center where they offer day care while we work out at the well equipped gym and play basketball and racquetball after. The staff are always friendly and our son gives great reviews of his time spent at both. We are grateful to have the Y right in our backyard and would highly recommend.

Ymca with BASKETBALL GYM absolutely hates basketball. You’d be lucky to get in 10 minutes of basketball throughout the week with how much they will kick you out for various pickleball sessions. Only upside on this building is the air conditioning; will take your mind off of the excruciatingly hot weather. Please for your sake avoid this Y if you want to actually do anything with your physique, unless you play pickleball.
