Member Testimonials

I enjoy it all.
My biggest beef (and I’m not the only one) is the cell phone usage. It’s ok if listening to music but the constant sitting at a machine doing what ever they’re doing is very annoying. I have wait at times for someone to either work out on the machine or step away to do their phone business else where. I’ve even asked people doing this if they were done using the machine and often get a snide remark as if I’m bothering them. ENOUGH phones in the gym .. unless it’s strictly for listening to music.
Other than that I enjoy coming to the Y.

The early morning classes

We have subs in Active Adult classes who can work as a full time employee. Hire and create more active adult classes? Venice Y is such an amazing campus. Lucky us!

Friendly staff, a lot of activities to choose from.

Love the aquacize classes. Bonnie Judy is the best aqua teacher ever!

Swimming

I found that the wide array of class offerings at different times helps me to fit a good workout into my schedule. All of the instructors are absolutely wonderful!

Trainers I have worked with in several classes have been excellent.

That said.....

Upstairs: area with freemotion machines could spread out more to accommodate the 12 people suggested. You would need to move some other machines to do this.

Rowing machines could use a tune up to make the tension similar between each machine.

Great facility

Yoga and pickelball

Group classes with Jan are awesome. Do not like the app to reserve classes.

Great variety of programs and schedules.

Masters Swim program

Good classes
Clean facilities

I love the gym and the people! It has been frustrating not being able to get into some of the classes. The big push for new members with no initiation fee hurt in two ways. Not having to pay the $75.00 & making it hard for us that were members before, not being able to get into the classes we were able to get in before. I still appreciate the work that is done to have such a high quality gym available in our community!!

They have several that are geared toward older adults

Nice facility, lots of classes

Mainly I like the pool for lap swimming. I took the Pilates class from Jamisue and it really helped my overall conditioning.

I like the friendship

I am in my 70’s, and just want to stay fit snd health as long as I can.
The Y is great because it is covered under my supplemental insurance, and offer the variety of workout programs that fit my wants and needs. And, the staff is great!!

New equipment upstairs

Swimming laps

Great facility with an abundance of equipment and classes.

Mostly just use facilities rather than programs but there seems to be a good variety available.

Classes and instructors

Convenience and the amount of activities and programs offered.

Easy access, plenty of health programs, lots of equipment

Olympic size swimming pool is absolutely stunning and beautiful. The hot tub is the best in the area and the best of all the ones I’ve ever been to. It’s a very pleasant environment - It has a certain friendly personality that I like I click with many of the patrons and staff

I love it I live in Port Charlotte and I’m much closer to the other member facilities in Englewood and Port Charlotte but 90% of the time I’m in Venice 😊

The variety of classes and the space upstairs and downstairs, as well as the various machines.

I like having the pool available particularly for lap swimming. There is a wide variety of classes available. It is a bit crowded in season, but welcome to Florida.
