What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love Pickleball inside, the inside track, Tom’s class and all the wonderful friendships I’ve made from all these activities

What I don’t like is you take Medicare United Health Care Advantage Plan
and not Aetna Advantage Plan
as a Silver Sneakers member. I’m
also not happy that my membership jumped $20 without any warning. I’ve been told something was
sent out. I’ve never received anything and I have requested a copy and have not received that

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Classes like body pump and muscle works. Janet is a great instructor. And Lara is too but she needs to show up to teach at least 15 minutes prior to start out of respect for members.

I have been a member for many years.. love that ymca!

One area is new clips are needed to hold weights on are needed in studio A also the air needs to be controlled o have been to classes that sometimes are very warm in that room.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I feel extremely lucky to live close by this Y as I go almost every day which is VERY vital to me for keeping young and healthy. (I will be 80 next year)
This Y provides a unique small class for Pilates enthusiasts who love working out on performers with a trainer that LOVES what she does and keeps us engaged with a different class every day! The only change I would make is adding some more pilates mat classes to your class schedules and adding TRX classes which would be very beneficial to the older men that come to work out as well as their wifes bc there are not many types of classes that can interest BOTH men AND woman AND another benefit of TRX is you can make it as difficult or as easy as the person wants it to be!

Since living in Venice for the past year we visited many gyms, joined Planet Fitness and were happy till we tried out the Y. The Y in Venice is clean, operated by a very friendly staff, and has every machine/free weight you could ever need to get a great work out!
