Member Testimonials
Local and available when I'm available. Instructors are great and facility and workers are so personable and helpful.
Like to go in evenings where there are less people and machines are more plentiful to use ….can not be done in the daytime ……
Good mix of classes, body balance with Leslie is great and so is she.
I would like to have a space to socialize more with other members. I know there,s one at the entrance, but a larger one a dedicated area would be nice.
I like the Body Pump classes.
Love Les mills, it’s why I originally joined. I really miss tap!!! Also love the virtual option.
There are lots of choices to choose from and they fit all levels of endurance.
You have plenty of options making it easy to do different types of workouts and cross train as well as meeting new people and lots of amenities such as one of my favorites, a hot tube.
Convenient and serve my needs
I just use the gym.
Good instructors
I have been to many gyms, and the size and accessibility to various equipment at the YMCA can not be matched in the Venice area. Employees are always available and very friendly.
I’m happy with the body pump classes even though the Tuesday and Thursday noon classes are in the virtual room.
I’m happy you are replacing equipment on the floor however I am disappointed the stationary bikes have not been replaced. They are long overdue and one has been out of order forever. It would be good if the TVs all had closed captioning so that’s frustrating not to have it on some.
I do have a criticism of your raising membership fees. You only raised single memberships and not partners or families. Why are singles singled out? It would have been a much fairer deal to make it lower amount for all across the board and not just one group. Totally unfair.
But all in all it’s a good gym. I like all the helpful front desk staff. They do a great job.
Thanks for asking for feedback.
I drive from Englewood to Franz Rd because I love the classes they have, and they have the best instructors and trainers. There is such variety of classes
I have belonged to health clubs and “Y’s” my whole life. What sets Palmer Ranch apart is its warmth and friendliness both from members and staff. Classes, equipment, instructors and programs are all excellent, but it’s the atmosphere of congeniality that makes my workout days feel like visits to family.
You have quite a bit of activities at the Y People also socialize in some common areas. A lot of open spaces, which I like. Staff is very friendly.
