I only use the cardio machine area
Nice gym although in season very crowded.
A good family place to spend free time and have fun.
Jen, my personal trainer is excellent and inspiring me to be my best.
Dont do any programs. I would recommend that you get a couple more ellipticals and maybe replace the machines that are getting little to no use with duplicates of machines that are heavily used. I’d also recommend checking the dispensers for paper towels during the day because they’re running out more and more frequently. Oh, the gutters out front, they have holes in them.
Variety of classes
Na
I like the fitness center - it is large and spread out. I like my personal trainer, Clarence Burris. I wish that Linda Ross was still able to teacher her 5 AM Barre class - a group of regulars really liked that class! I would consider a different 5 AM class, it is a good time for me. The regulars at the gym are friendly, the front desk person is friendly (Duane?), I enjoy the coffee occasionally.
Good variety .
Love all the classes ...great instructors..the pool..the hot tub..and the coffee!
It's the programs that I am interested in.
Evening classes for working adults
Self workout
High quality programs that can be tailored to fit individual needs
There seems to be sufficient help both on the floor & behind the desk. The culture does not seem to have a bunch of MAGA people talking politics while they sit on the machines doing nothing like at Planet Fitness.
Variety of classes & skill levels, class offering times, teachers.
Free weights
I really enjoy the virtual Les Mills cycle and core class offerings.. always a great variety of workouts to keep all participants active and engaged!!
We like the early morning start, participating in the Les Mills programs. Also, strength training and swimming a couple days a week are our favorites.
Mainly use the gym and pool/hot tub, no classes
The variety and amazing workout equipment.
aqua aerobics
Nice variety of classes
Wife and I love everything about the Englewood YMCA.
But if your looking for suggestions, here goes.
It would be great if you could replace / upgrade at least one if not both of your two Concept 2 Rowing Machines. The resistance adjustment does not seem to work on either one. Also the newer models have a PM5 MONITOR, which allows you to track and analyze your workouts through your phone with a Concept2 App.
You have a small community of "on the water rowers" in Englewood, and if any of them use the YMCA to train, I am sure they would appreciate it.
Thank You.......you guys do a great job

Bonnie is our water aerobics instructor. She is a wonderful motivator and by far the very best at what she does . She has been a Constant in our lives for many, many years.
No one in our classes have come across any water aerobic class anywhere else in the country that even comes close to this. I am so fortunate that I joined the Y when we first came to Venice 20 years ago. I am certain the my hours in her classes has extended my life expectancy as well as my happiness. Our circle of friends includes so many that were formed at the Y while enjoying the common bond that brought us to enrich our lives through a fun hour of exercise!!!
The pool area is very clean.
