The new Treadmills and I plan to start taking Yoga classes. My son when home from College enjoys swimming laps, but the Pool has been closed a lot this summer.
You have programs and activities for older adults.
Classes and pickle ball
Variety of classes and instructors
The chair yoga classes. Expert instructors and friendly staff
I love Strength Explosion as well as all the equipment.
Excellent schedule and trainers
Amount of classes, people nice, clean equipment
I love the change & new app to reserve classes. I believe it gives everyone an equal chance of reserving a class of their interest. The rearranging of some of equipment is no bad, different & good.
GOOD JOB! WAY TO GO.

I personally love your classes. I have been taking line dance and Dynamic Dance classes for over ten years. Charles Reynolds and Margaret Grubbs both do an excellent job as instructors. Lynn Marcuse also works very hard to fill in when necessary. All three of them make everyone feel welcome and valued.
I was very happy to find I could add my partner onto my membership. He likes to work out on the machines. We both enjoy using one of your empty rooms to practice our ballroom dancing.
I want to add that all of your staff members are extremely friendly and caring. They go above and beyond being helpful and accommodating everyone's needs.
Many wonderful friendships have been made at the Y. I don't ever want to live in this community without Franz Ross YMCA!
I enjoy the fitness classes and the synergy with other participants with the amazing instructors. I always feel welcome at the Y and have made good friendships over the years.

I love group fitness. The quality instructors, multiple classes and times is the thing I like best about my Y.
Machines, free weights & pool
Great facility!!!
The workout area has plenty of equipment and room.
The Venice YMCA has been integral to our family finding a community after moving to Florida 2 years ago. It feels like home to all of us now.
Something for everyone!
I mainly use the gym, but I'M impressed by all the classes that have a big number of participants.
I love my Y
I like the Zumba Gold,it would be great if there was a class on Fridays also like there used to be. Also use the fitness room, it would be nice to put up some signs telling people not to just sit at the machines looking at their phones. As other people want to use it also. Thanks
Love body pump . Great instructors .
Good variety of classes & instructors!
I’ve talked to others in my Active Older Adults Class and they all agree — they really like that our current instructor is constantly instructing on the muscle groups we are working on and why, she provides options if you need them and varies the routine from session to session so it never becomes boring. She is so enthusiastic - it’s encouraging!
Love my 4:00 Pilates class with Jamisue! I do wish the time was earlier in the day. She is wonderful!
It offers so many classes. The front desk is always so helpful
Stanene is an excellent instructor. I feel more strength with her than with equipment. Rick’s enthusiasm is contagious.
I don’t participate in them
Friendly, convenient

Good variety of classes for all ages and fitness levels.
