Member Testimonials

I love the water aerobics and aqua Zumba.
My husband enjoys the group exercise classes.
I wish you could have chair yoga around 10 sometimes. I would greatly appreciate it.

I mostly work out

We love playing racquetball and going upstairs to the treadmill on rainy or too hot days.

Don’t apply

We love the racquetball courts

The Venice YMCA has cutting edge group fitness classes as well as the best Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Trainers. There are lots of resistance machines and free weights. And the cardio studios have all the latest equipment that is kept in good working condition.

The programs and activities are awesome. Honestly, I can’t think of anything to say negatively about them - only positive.

I think what makes everything work well at the YMCA specifically the Venice branch because that’s where I Frequent is the people - you hire great people !

Your employees genuinely care for others are friendly and easy to get along with. It’s the favorite part of my day, almost every day!

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care - about them !

Keep it up thanks

I utilize the weight room and classes. Appreciate the variety and thank you for great instructors!

Everything!
What I don't like is the cell phone usage during a work out. People tend to use the machines as a phone both, instead of using it for excercise. It's fine if they want to listen to music but to sit around texting, tying up a machine that's not good. I've spoken to a few of your instructors and they feel the same. Other than that, its a great gym.

Great equipment in the gym…always clean and ready for use. Friendly staff.

Still recovering from shoulder replacement. Will use your facility when able

I like classes. You've got lots! Instructors are very good.

Outstanding instructors. Judy Hein and Kathy Murdoch provide very clear and easy to follow instructions and always challenge us to improve.

Friendliness efficiency. Professionalism cooperation

Dana Martineau is the best personal trainer of all. She makes working out interesting and gets results for her clients like me.

Selections

Great group classes and instructors.

The instructors are encouraging, positive & give reasonable goals. I love water aerobics & water Zumba !!

There are many to choose from

The staff is very friendly. We’re members because of the afternoon Rock Steady Boxing class. The instructors are excellent. This class is very important to my husband’s health.

Valerie Parkinson’s class is outstanding.

I JUST USE THE SAUNA

Classes and instructors are very good. It's nice that you offer several different types of yoga. Zumba is a lot of fun. It's great that you also provide instructors for Wellen Park classes.

I like the huge selection of exercise equipment and that it is well maintained.

Great facility, would have liked better lighting in the gymnasium where older pickleball adults play....

Otherwise very nice YMCA.

They are very good and the teacher is very good

Senior fitness classes. At the Forever Fit level of intensity. 3 days a week.

I love the Pilates class on Monday Wednesday and Friday at 4 with Jamisue. She is a caring happy person and a great Pilates instructor! The time is also perfect for me as I come right from work! Thank you for offering this class!

Lots of classes.

I enjoy the swimmers pool, mainly. The life guard staff are very professional and helpful, as are all staff throughout the Y.
