Nice atmosphere and people .
It would suit me if people would stay off their phones and just enjoy the moment when working out !
A sign ‘ NO PHONE ZONE’ would help .
The many different activities to fit everyone’s abilities.
The Total YMCA experience of Activities and Classes far exceed other health club facilities.
Class availability /times and variety.
Would love it if we had more Zumba instructors!
Wide variety of classes and activities. However, some machines are in need of replacement.
Good instructors. Lots of choices. I'd like to see Pilates on the Ball class return.
Lots of space
Variety of equipment and workout options. Classes and facilities
Kelley, Fitness Director is going a great job. Night and Day from the previous director.
Jennifer, Personal Trainer is a refreshing addition to the club.
Amanda (?), receptionist from NJ is the BEST!!! You need more like her.
Still need improvement on the amicability of many of the other trainers (mostly pre-Kelly).
Still no Handball Promotion. Numbers have been posted by the handball courts for 7 years now and not one call. You need to promote HANDBALL. You have 2 great handball courts. Use them for what they are: HANDBALL!
STILL NO ENFORCEMENT ON THOSE USING MACHINES AS THEIR PERSONAL "PARK BENCH", OBLIVIOUS TO THOSE WAITING. ONE WAS TIMED 26 MIN. ON THE CHEST MACHINE!!!!!
Need more lounge chairs on the pool patio or area.
Name removed, DMD
They are varied and treated like important uses of our time. The Y is run very professionally and the repair time for machines is usually short. Each instructor is fully involved in making her class fun and challenging.
evrything
Group fitness classes
Always helpful to accommodate needs.
Les Mills classes.
Kids programs and family events
Except for the crowded parking during season, everything is great.
I love your facility and all the programs you offer. Your staff is tremendous. I have been coming to the Y for almost 40 years.
I have one complaint however. The kids from the charter school and Venice Middle who are there Monday through Friday from about 3-6 are wild and out of control; boys in the girls bathrooms, some of them making out on the racket ball courts and pool tables and just stupid pre-teen and teen behavior behavior is unacceptable.
Everything ... best gym in Venice area.
Great variety of classes suited to all age groups.
Cardio Drumming
Balance for Fitness
Chair Yoga
Variety, availability, safety, cleanliness, friendlyness
Lots of choices
I have found that regular attendance to Susan’s stretch fit classes has been the best thing for my low back pain which has plagued me for years. It is the only thing that helps. I wish I was here year round because I haven’t been able to get the same results on my own or back north at our Y.
Variety of equipment is extensive
Variety of classes
Variety and times of day classes are scheduled
Aqua Splash with Bonnie is the best,
They seem adequate.. wish there were racquetball lessons
Lots of class choices at all hours
I only use weights. Access to equipment is fine. Place is bright, plenty of light. I don't use the showers or lockers. When I use the urinal I see how piggy men can be with paper towels. Must be hard for some people to actually place their used paper toweling in the trash bin right in front of them. People who use weight machines do a good job of cleaning the equipment after they use them. I do notice that weights get left on equipment and not placed back on racks after use. Not the end of the world to encounter self-centered people. I like the vibes and the physical plant.
I haven’t participated in any programs or activities. I only use the gym equipment in the pool.
