Member Testimonials

I workout up to 4 times a week. I enjoy all the wonderful equipment that I use to exercise with. The staff is very nice especially Joe. He always greets me with a smile and makes sure I am using the equipment correctly. I really like alot of the NEW equipment that targets specific areas. This to me, feels like a Gold Star Gym

I work with free weights and the machines strictly, so I can’t comment on any of the programs .

Classes

I am a pool user and it is very well maintained

Everything except the women’s steam room, never seems to work properly. One of the reasons I’m a member!

I’m there for masters swim. Pool is great. I know there are maintenance issues and am Glad to see the side dug up for repairs.

I think the recurring paying members and parents should be prioritized. Often I feel like we treated as second class citizens when we rent out space to swim teams. It’s ok to do. But make sure there’s space for us.

Instructors, group exercise.

Great activities and programs for adults and seniors.
Always courteous and friendly staff.

Plenty of work out stations. So many options for fitness with endless programs.

WHAT I DON’T LIKE IS PEOPLE USING THIER CELL PHONES AT WORK OUT STATIONS AS IF THEY ARE AT A REST AREA. I SEEN PEOPLE SIT AT A STATION AND NOT WORK OUT AT ALL!

I look forward to going to classes at the Y everyday!

The instructors motivate (and entertain) making the class enjoyable.

I only wish they had more classes.

I really like the exercise classes. Except the recent increase to 70 for Forever fit is too much.
Making the class less desirable. There should be a larger room or more classes. Do not increase that class to accommodate part time residents. Also the recent locking of doors at exact time is a very good thing. It’s too distracting having people enter the class after it starts. Especially when it’s another instructor with a key. She should not enter and squeeze in the front pushing the people to be even closer. Not right to do that.

The wide array of workout options and how friendly everyone is

Instructors

Bonnie Judy is a great water aerobics instructor and Susan Downing knows what to have us do in Senior Fitness.

It’s convenient.

I mainly use the pool and sauna.

I am eligible for Silver Sneakers, which Venice does not accept.

It would be a great help if Silver Sneakers was accepted along with a reduced monthly fee to total my current membership expenses.

There may be a reason why Silver Sneakers can't be combined with an additional monetary amount from me to total the monthly fee,
But, I'd like to encourage you to consider this.
It's ashamed that this benefit is wasted.

I like the variety kinds of classes and that there are different levels. You can do a gentle yoga or a more advanced yoga. Or a body pump class or just a general conditioning class. It’s also nice to be able to use different YMCAs in the area.

The excercise equipment

Love Pickleball, but wish it was available more than three days a week. The pool is beautiful.

Classes and pool

Wide variety of classes all day, instructors are great too! The equipment is also a plus! Having person trainers on staff is helpful to start a program or keep continuing one whenever needed!

My wife uses a lot of your exercise glasses and really likes the ability to sign up online. That is a very good system and she likes the classes as well. I go there and use the cardio equipment upstairs which I really liked. The new equipment is fantastic and greatly appreciated.

Clean, easy access, not too crowded.

My favorite activity at the y is to pick things up then put them down

Yoga classes

Personal training, equipment availability

Love them. I go to Forever Fit and Zumba and chair yoga.

So many to choose from to stay active

Keep the men's steam room cleaner.
