Love the Group Exercise Classes and Wellness and Welcome Center crew!

Great classes great instructors variety of activities. Nice staff at desk.

Great facility supports all kinds of activities. Big pool. Lots of workout equipment including an array of new stuff. Plenty of parking.

Everything EXCEPT that there are no signs asking folks to wipe off their equipment after use. This is a medical issue.

The variety of things available.

I like the people and wholesome values.

Many to choose from and favorable hours to schedule

I like the upgrades and the painting. Thanks for new faucets in the mens locker room too....the old ones on a timer were awful.
Change or wash the shower curtains at least once a year ....this winter season was pretty good.
A few new stand up elipticals with hand motion are not popular; they have awkward motion and a feeling of leaning causing some hip joint discomfort.
I'd like to have a boxing speed bag installed.
The pool is old; keep it going. But it would be nice to clean up many many ugly black stains; I'm not sure if that would create different problems. Water quality is good; I believe you upgraded the system a couple of years ago---good. I would suggest that the pool receive more frequent vacuuuming....often the bottom suction grating is the deep area gets clogged with leaves, which impedes good water filtering. Several times this season I've seen underwater lights ajar or totally popped out. I would recommend that they all get looked at; insure that the prpoer metal bracing for any lights match the light fixture and niches. If the metal used is incorrect (which I've seen) there will be galvonic corrosion caused by use of dissililar metals and then you've got more problems. Really need some creative thinking because it looks like these lights have been worked on/modified over the years and not always good.

Variety of offerings and times offered.

The support personnel

Water aerobics and aqua Zumba, but you still need to provide some shade for the instructors

Love the accessibility to all machines! Love that there’s plenty of cardio machines upstairs! Love the YMCA!!

Plentiful equipment for both aerobic & strength training. Staff friendly . Facilities bright and clean .

Large facility with a wide variety of activities.

The Venice YMCA helps many of us "older adults" retain active lives, but scheduling exercise classes designed to our needs.

Name removed

Plenty of equipment. Clean.

The variety, particularly the Parkinson’s programs.

I like to use the strength training equipment.

our intro to yoga instructor , to gentle yoga was patient, professional and extremely helpful

Not crazy over having to register for classes.....very inconvenient. That being said, Chair Yoga w/ Stacey is wonderful. She gives very specific directions and demonstrates correct positions..

Thank you.

Great instructors and a nice selection of classes
