There is a program for everyone at my Y. Yoga,boot camp,spinning,weights tennis,pickle ball,and of course machines to make my body look like it should (but doesn’t).

I’ve belonged to 4 different gyms in my 12 years here in Florida and this is hands down the best and most comfortable gym I’ve belonged to.
Varied and plentiful.when snowbirds arrive I am fearful I can’t get into classes.
Weight/Cardio equipment
People who go to the gym are pleasant and the gym seems to handle all levels and age needs of guests.
I don’t do a lot of classes but from what I see and hear, there are boatloads of happy people. Classes look full.
The classes and personal training. The equipment is adequate
You guys have great instructors.
Love the weight room. Lots of free weights and machines.
I am one of many “seniors” that workout and play cards at The Lakewood Ranch location.
Our groups have grown tremendously and until this spring we had a staff person mostly dedicated to arranging speakers, lunches, parties, etc.
She is badly missed.
There are so many activities for young adults and families but not so many for seniors. - not necessarily “old” but needing more programs with us in mind. Gentle Yoga, 30 minutes of balance and/or stretching.
Consider that we are also donating our share in fundraising. Thank you.
Accessibility to resources and the facility especially evening and weekend hours. Cleanliness of the facility, equipment well maintained. Many course and class offerings both in-house and online. Much appreciate the increase in offerings and scheduling for online classes. The staff and class instructors at the Venice YMCA are always helpful and very responsive to suggestions and concerns.
The personal trainers are awesome-- very professional and highly qualified in many sport and physical training areas. Appreciate the email and text notifications relevant to special events and announcements about YMCA programs and activities throughout the County.

I love the instructors that teach the water arthritis classes, especially Maria, she is a real sweetheart and makes you always feel special as she is so h ed mogul. I would like yo compliment on saving the lady last week that had trouble with her noodle. He was do quick and professional. I did complement him and he said, that’s my job. He couldn’t have been quicker jumping into the water to save her. She was do upset he had to hold her bc plus walk her up the ramp. I spoke to her and she was do nervous she’s sad I’d c I almost drown. But she was safe, which I am sure she realized when she calmed down. I do enjoy looking in the window of the children being taken of while there mothers are working out. I live in a senior park Donny rarely get to see small children. Every time I leave for my car I always think what a beautigil piece of property this place is and so nicely groomed. I do enjoy the Y
