Member Testimonials
Stanene is fabulous. We also live Rick’s enthusiasm, research and determination- contagious and an inspiration with his Parkinson’s. Debbie is fun and keeps us perspiring with her Zumba. Most desk staff are great too. Lucia, Darby and others are always quick to greet and assist in anyway.
I greatly appreciate the AOA class due to my health conditions and the exceptional regimen created by Leslie and her substitute instructors.
I enjoy the classes
Great staff. Clean. Friendly.
Group fitness is excellent. So much so that each class is filled to capacity
The equipment in the weight room/exercise area is very good and the spin class instructors are fantastic.
Have what I need. Open times mostly suit me.
The instructors for the classes have been amazing!! The front desk personnel have been helpful and friendly.
Overall, everything has been spot on!!!
So glad to be an annual member 😊
Love the classes. However in season it is really difficult to get into these classes. You need at least 5 more spin bikes.
If I wanted to use equipment I can go to fitness unlimited for 10 month vs 45.
I love Forever Fit and Pilates Mat classes. Both instructors are great !
They make exercise fun.
Classes and open play pickleball
Love, love cardio drumming.
We need a bigger space though.
Love Zumba Gold with Debbie also!
I love Debbie’s classes!!
I love Debbie’s Stretch and Sculpture also.
We need more class choices on Saturday and Sunday,
I truly enjoy the YMCA. The staff and people are fantastic!
The classes! The great staff and great programming for all ages and all skill levels! Festive events at various times of the year as well! The online sign up and online fitness classes we can take from home! The pool!! The equipment!
To date I have not participated in in any group programs, or activities.
Your facility is accommodating and very well managed. Thank you. I would say that as a lap swimmer the participants in the water aerobics classes are some of the most territorial and rude people I have encountered at any Y. Not your fault
Great programs, wish they could offer more soon classes
I do water aerobics about 6 days a week. I like going to an early class so I am free to do other things later in the day.
Clean facilities
The variety of classes is good..
The instructors are excellent, especially Cynthia.
You can sign up on line and attend any class. Don't have to committ for an extended visits just sign up when you can attend.
Love the pool and personnel 🏊♂️❤️🏆
Variety, friendly front desk staff, hours
I like the group classes my
Nice equipment, well maintained. Wonderful staff.
Everything
Nice variety of classes with great teachers! No pressure to do more than you can!
I don’t participate in any programs yet.
I like the machines. I hate the fact that we were running out of those antiseptic wipes constantly. Either they are on backorder or the person doesn’t come up very often to replenish in the upstairs part. That is my biggest complaint.
I like my Master Swim Program and comaraderie that comes with that group! I also like being able to go to the Englewood Y for classes rather than the Venice Y..just seems like better classes and less crowds to me with the time frames I like.
Things I do not like are that you really have to focus on signing up for classes or else they are too full.....I really miss the triathlons the Y used to have every year and the special focus on those..they were great community events! I liked going to pickleball at the Venice Y for a short while but then you never knew if you were going to be able to use the courts and it was very discouraging..seems like there was no support for it. I like early morning classes instead of dealing with crowds. Englewood has more of those..why is that? Venice should have more! I do not like virtual classes...
I mostly use the pool, and appreciate the kind and professional staff at front desk and pool area.
Love the availability of the pickleball courts.
The whole facility seems to have had a recent cleanup. Inside and out look great.
