Member Testimonials
Convenient and serve my needs
I just use the gym.
Good instructors
I have been to many gyms, and the size and accessibility to various equipment at the YMCA can not be matched in the Venice area. Employees are always available and very friendly.
I’m happy with the body pump classes even though the Tuesday and Thursday noon classes are in the virtual room.
I’m happy you are replacing equipment on the floor however I am disappointed the stationary bikes have not been replaced. They are long overdue and one has been out of order forever. It would be good if the TVs all had closed captioning so that’s frustrating not to have it on some.
I do have a criticism of your raising membership fees. You only raised single memberships and not partners or families. Why are singles singled out? It would have been a much fairer deal to make it lower amount for all across the board and not just one group. Totally unfair.
But all in all it’s a good gym. I like all the helpful front desk staff. They do a great job.
Thanks for asking for feedback.
I drive from Englewood to Franz Rd because I love the classes they have, and they have the best instructors and trainers. There is such variety of classes
I have belonged to health clubs and “Y’s” my whole life. What sets Palmer Ranch apart is its warmth and friendliness both from members and staff. Classes, equipment, instructors and programs are all excellent, but it’s the atmosphere of congeniality that makes my workout days feel like visits to family.
You have quite a bit of activities at the Y People also socialize in some common areas. A lot of open spaces, which I like. Staff is very friendly.
there are plenty to pick from
We havent used a program or activity for awhile - but plan too soon.
the leaders of the exercise programs are very friendly and take time to get to know the clients, strengths and weaknesses and suggest modifications when needed.
Plenty of classes and machines thinks for the children to do and a very nice nursery

yoga classes and a nice, clean room for working out, I like the new weight training equipment. Thanks!
Group exercise
Very well organized and the people there are just plain friendly all the time! I love the aquatics program and your yoga is GREAT!
I am a longtime water aerobics fan. It is very important to me and I especially like Water in Motion. It would be great if Mel--(substitute) who teaches different things and styles could be hired on as part of the weekly schedule.
Because of my caregiving responsibilities at home, I am not able to spend as much time at the Y as I would like. I hope to take advantage of the new equipment on the first floor at some point.
I am always impressed at the opportunities offered to the community at large....
Great instructors for all classes.
Lots of choices…times, days of the week.
Good instructors, personable, know what they are doing, recognize different levels
Interesting and Fun!!
I only used the pool as a two month visitor from Ohio. It was clean and the temperature was perfect for swimming laps. Lifeguards were friendly as was the front desk staff.
Facility has everything, nice people and kept up very well. Couldn’t ask for more.
Very inviting place, instructors are personable & knowledgeable
Love the classes!
You have plenty of options making it easy to do different types of workouts and cross train as well as meeting new people and lots of amenities such as one of my favorites, a hot tube.
