Member Testimonials
There is so much to do and lots of options. I wish there were more dancing classes when I am not working like on Fridays or the weekends and not early in the morning so I can sleep a little.
People in group exercise classes are my age. Instructors are top notch
Lots of equipment
Great exexcise instructors
For all ages
Was a past board of directors
New equipment; would like racquet ball lessons.
Absolutely Everything
Key activities to match many different physical levels. Your member facing front desk and activity leaders are top notch!
I enjoy the chair yoga classes on Mondays and wednesdays. Stanene was terrific- I’ll miss her, but our sub, Rick, has been doing a good job filling in. I can tell that he spends a lot of time researching different chair yoga activities for the classes he leads. He even throws in some tai chi.
excellent renovations
I like my older adults classes and the consistency of the instructors.
Kids, activities, kids, night, outs, flexibility
Friendly staff
Great activities
Age appropriate trainers that aren’t intimidating
We love Darby and Val
The classes I attend are a lot of fun.
Many to choose from - great variety.
The Venice Y needs more CERTIFIED Zumba instructors - especially subs. Thank you in advance!
I am too new to make an assessment. Everyone seems to be very helpful and pleasant.
I enjoy the classes. I wished they would offer a beginners Line Dancing class. At least during Snowbird Season….
New weight room set up is great. Sauna/steam room, Hot tub, pool. I don't do group classes because nothing I want to attend is offered during the hours I'm available.
I do enjoy all of the different classes you offer. All of your instructors are very good. I think Charlotte in cardo drumming is my favorite. I also enjoy the pool nothing like a swim after a good workout
The weights and stationary bikes are very good. There’s plenty of equipment so very little wait time
I only use the equipment on the floors & am pleased to never have to wait on any machine upstairs.
Aquatics
Variety and frequency
Excellent strength classes for senior longevity
I like the variety of classes and the variety of qualified, fun instructors. I also like the other members who do the classes with me.
I enjoy Zumba Gold. However since Stanene left, I hope you will replace her with a suitable person to teach Chair Yoga and Active Older Adults classes. Rick tries but is not effective.
I took my friend there on Saturday and she joined today! Program selection is great . Instructors are so pleasant ☺️
There are activities for all ages.
Classes are updated and never boring.
Staff & instructors are friendly, caring and helpful.
I like that we are all like family.
And I have made many friendships over the years I have been a member at Port Charlotte YMCA.
I also appreciate the community involvement from the YMCA.
