There are a mixture of various programs for all levels of there ability
Everything is awesome
The weight machines are great. the facility is wel kept and friendly. There is space for me to do yoga stretching after weights ... I will be participating in the Body pump once I'm retired. Given the community - I realize its geared to retirees schedules - and while the 5:30 class is close - I can't end work at 5 and get to the y by 5:30. I really like the location ... and will continue - and hopefully participate more when retired in a couple of years.
Plenty of options to choose from. Friendly staff.
Great variety of adult group classes and excellent instructors.
Am brand new, full-time resident to FL, with the Y being one of my more immediate choices once I got settled in some. After selling my home on beautiful Cape Cod I was blessed with having the time and the money to secure myself a Personal Trainer at the Venice Y. This is by far, the best decision and best "gift" I have ever given myself. I lucked out enormously - feeling so blessed to have Marcia Zagorski as my Trainer - I am making great strides/results with the work we are doing together. Having been a Y member for many, many years back in MA - the Venice Y is amazing and WOW - all the new equipment - a bit intimidating but am getting the hang of the various machines that Marcia has me working on. I am also very impressed seeing so many Personal Trainers busy at work with many clients - wonderful seeing so many taking good care of their body, mind and spirit. I am blessed with the Venice YMCA - thank you for the care you give the facility itself and to each of us attendees - with all at the front desk very engaging and so pleasant, to assist with whatever our concern, question or need may be. I am just finishing up my first many rounds/sessions (the highest numbered package that I signed up for - I will soon now be purchasing my next 5 levels packages.
The variety and choices.
Many varied programs. Friendly staff.
I like the cleanliness and friendly staff at the YMCA.
I wish the YMCA had longer hours on Fridays and weeknights.
The Sarasota YMCA is truly a special place. What sets it apart is the people—the staff and management go above and beyond every single day to create a clean, safe, and motivating environment for everyone. You really feel like part of a community here. Thank you to management and all the hard-working team members for making this facility so wonderful!
