What do you like about our programs and activities?

There seems to be sufficient help both on the floor & behind the desk. The culture does not seem to have a bunch of MAGA people talking politics while they sit on the machines doing nothing like at Planet Fitness.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Wife and I love everything about the Englewood YMCA.
But if your looking for suggestions, here goes.

It would be great if you could replace / upgrade at least one if not both of your two Concept 2 Rowing Machines. The resistance adjustment does not seem to work on either one. Also the newer models have a PM5 MONITOR, which allows you to track and analyze your workouts through your phone with a Concept2 App.
You have a small community of "on the water rowers" in Englewood, and if any of them use the YMCA to train, I am sure they would appreciate it.

Thank You.......you guys do a great job

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Bonnie is our water aerobics instructor. She is a wonderful motivator and by far the very best at what she does . She has been a Constant in our lives for many, many years.

No one in our classes have come across any water aerobic class anywhere else in the country that even comes close to this. I am so fortunate that I joined the Y when we first came to Venice 20 years ago. I am certain the my hours in her classes has extended my life expectancy as well as my happiness. Our circle of friends includes so many that were formed at the Y while enjoying the common bond that brought us to enrich our lives through a fun hour of exercise!!!
