Lap swimming
I like the equipment available and the hours of operations and accessibility to my home.
The instructors are really engaging and friendly
Very nice people work there. I really enjoy the exercise class and the people in the class are great. It picks me up and keeps me going!
I like the variety of classes and enjoy the instructors.
Everything is great, I enjoy going to the Y most days of the week, my observation is the Y dress code says no sports bras, and a shirt is required, but obviously not enforced in Venice or Englewood YMCA,l. If you have a dress code then enforce it, if you dont have a dress code then dont. We are the YMCA after all.
Water aerobics
Senior midday exercise classes are great! I also like the Senior lunch and learn.
Great fitness classes. But not enough of them .
I think you offer the best group exercise classes and instructors in the area as well as a great environment with good equipment and very helpful staff.
Ease of use, not normally crowded
I like that there’s a wide variety of activities and different types of classes that I can choose from that provide me a well-rounded workout portfolio

Great variety of equipment.
I love the classes
They are geared to let everyone participte no matter what level they are. I like the variety of classes offered. I love the Zumba, yoga, spinning, and Pilatees. I truly miss it when I have to go up north.
There are activities for everybody. Yoga, Boot Camp, training, spinning not to mention that the trainers and the consultants and the front desk are all fabulous people. I like to go, especially for the Pickleball and there are loads of tennis courts back there. I belong to four gyms, four different gyms before I join the Y. I’m not going anywhere now. I love it there.
I have not participated in any programs or activities yet.
Everything seems good
I love the diversity of the classes . So many options in classes and the times they are available!
Instructor’s are very knowledgeable and helpful.
Been to a lot of gyms in my life and I think this Y is my favorite!
Thank you for all you do.
Susan D is the instructor for stretch fit - meeting at 8 am or 7:45 am. She is the best ever! Gets my day off to a great start! This is a fabulous class!!!! I am leaving for the summer and I’ll miss her class terribly!
Nice gym. Clean and well maintained. Good choice of machines and equipment.

Group fitness classes with the instructors you have.
