Great variety of classes and instructors.
The instructors keep everything moving and fun!
Promote HANDBALL vs. pickleball. You have 2 great HANDBALL courts and not enough players.
New workout machines are nice, but placed a bit too close to each other.
Staff is nice.
They are all wonderful and high quality. All employees are extremely competent, caring and friendly. I have been a member of a huge, expensive, “luxury” chain gym in chicago (Lifetime) and believe our LWR YMCA programs and activities are even better than theirs. It really comes down to the staff. Whomever is hiring. These individuals truly is looking for individuals that are dedicated and passionate about their job. This is even true of all the young students that are working. My children are regularly in the Kids center and have been in camps and I continue to rave about how organized and friendly and just overall happy employees are and how they interact with the children. Brady, and twins Alyssa and Katlin (I think are their names) along with ballet teacher Raffaela are always so personable and happy to see my 4 yr old daughter, even though she isn’t perfect and needs lots of love and attention. We are very proud and grateful for our YMCA.
Great variety
Very nice facility
Group classes

Teachers of senior classes are excellent

I am 65+ and transferred from Lakewood Ranch about 6 years ago. I take spin class 6-7 times a week. I am a full time resident. Lakewood Ranch had a very good spin program. Venice is better.
The current spin team at Venice is the best. All excellent instructors. Each instructor brings their own expertise.
Thank you listening to members and adding more classes.
The group exercise classes are my favorite. Cynthia is the best for Pilates and probably any other class. Some instructors while good are very boring in thier routines.
I enjoy the group fitness classes. I do wish that more intense workouts were offered over the weekend, but I can usually make the ones at 530 during the week. Everyone is very nice.
Class instructors are amazing!
I like the variety of classes offered and that there are multi-generations milling around at all times of day and evening.
Most of them are very highly regarded. Great instructors.
Helps me focus on attending a good exercise workouts that I would not do at home
