The water aerobics classes.
Wonderful staff. Maintained well. Keeps equipment clean and upgrades as needed.
We’ve only used the workout equipment but we’ve had a great experience. Decent amount of options, we have no complaints
There is a lot of variety, levels, and mostly good schedule times. There could be more evening classes for people who work or can't get to the gym before 5:30 pm. i.e Pilates and Yoga and etc.
I like everything- the equipment and classes are great. The trainers and staff are friendly and helpful.
I like the atmosphere and new equipment. Dena the trainer is nice. Show is the younger trainer with glasses. Can’t think of his name. He does Jiu Jitsu I know.
I have been in Bonnie's water aerobics class since 2010. That says it all.
Experienced, safe instructors. Everyone is pleasant right down to the lovely lady custodian. Working out their is always a pleasure.
Wide variety and many different times available.

Reformer Pilates - Natalia is the best!!
You offer a good variety of programs. I am 49
Years old so I like to take reformer classes, HITT type classes or enjoy the treadmill rower and weight machines. Englewood has a suspension Pilates class that I would love to see available in Venice. I would like to see barre available more as well.
The new equipment and look of the gym. Very professional
Need more bikes during winter months
There are a mixture of various programs for all levels of there ability
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.
I like the cleanliness and friendly staff at the YMCA.
I wish the YMCA had longer hours on Fridays and weeknights.
Great for older people who want to to stay healthy!
