Member Testimonials

You have a nice huge selection of strength building equipment as well as cardio, but several of the cardio machines (steppers and eliptical) are not functioning properly

I like the wide variety of activities available even though I don't avail myself of most of them. I have used the aerobics in the pool and some of the classes. I mostly use the machines.....but everything is clean and available. Even during Covid, you made every effort to protect all of us! Thanks....

Group exercise classes

I love the hot tub and swim pool, Jammie Sue's class is the best 3x a week. Jan is fabulous whenever I take classes. Bruce and his wife are great people to welcome me at the front door.
All the people at the front desk are exceptional, friendly, kind and very able to help me with any questions I may have...I love the Y. Judy and Joe in the weights area are super...Please give the employees a bonus and raise... thank you for asking... Susan Scholtz happy YMCA member.

Ulie and Chad have made the front areas beautiful. John, Ginny and Tucker are the best lifeguards. I could go on and on the Y makes me feel young!!!

The classes are great. Yoga and body pump are my favorite.

The variety, the availability and the location.

Yoga class with Jan is awesome.

Lots of equipment to use.

People are friendly and willing to help one another.

Everyone who is employed at the Center Rd YMCA is great. Too bad there's still only one classroom open.

I try not to miss a day of a class as there are wonderful instructors at this Y!

The variety of machines
The friendliness of all staff and other members
The COFFEE YOU PROVIDE
Very kind of y’all!

I have been a member of both Venice and Englewood YMCA's for about 20 years. Both have excellent and helpful Staffs and are doing an amazing job of rebuilding after Hurricane Ian, knowing that it is slow going because of so much damage to the area and difficulty in getting already overwhelmed local labor to do the work.
Your programs are excellent and a great mixture for both men & women. Great Job and keep signing up the new members that are fulfilling their New Years Resolutions. David "Mac" McIntyre

Great facility.
Wonderful variety of programs

I use the pool only and it is well maintained. The front desk people are always polite and welcoming.
My only negative comment would be that the at times the pool is very busy and you have to wait for a lane. I wish they could increase the lifeguard staffing so the entire pool could be open at busy times.

Like the classes! However, you need to schedule more of the same classes. It is ridiculously hard to try and register for them!

wonderful classes, motivate me to get and stay fit, fun zumba, positive staff

I am legally blind so I am limited in what classes work for me. The spin program is great for me.
I do Val's class 3 times a week. She is wonderful and is so supportive of me with my vision issue. I also did Jan's chair yoga class on Fridays. I am able to sit in the front row so I can follow. I am so disappointed that the studio is still not repaired. I hope the repairs will be completed soon.
I have been a member for almost 12 years and the "Y" is my happy place.

I use and enjoy the weight training equipment.

I really like the A O A program for seniors that need to have the work out and motivation.
I broke a hip , July 29th, the progrsm has been a great help in putting me back on my feet.
Enjoy the instructors and the participants.
Many thanks.🐞.

Love water aerobics and Aqua Zumba.

Everything is great, lots of variety.

I love the Venice Y. I love the variety and the multiple choices of exercise machines. The pool is awesome, as is the cardio area. I don't participate in any of the classes but I do hear good things about them. I am a bit concerned about the lack of maintenance of some of the equipment, and the length of time it has taken to repair things. I'm also concerned about the lack of cleanliness in the locker room and find no paper towels occasionally, in addition to soaking wet floors and toilets that are running and wasting water. I live in Englewood and I take the time to go to Venice instead of using the Englewood Y

People friendly !!

My Zone with Dana and YOGA with Jan.

Instructors for classes are great.

We love the racquetball court and would love more if the second court would be fixed. The snowbirds are coming in and we need a second court.
