What do you like about our programs and activities?

The jury is out on the new weights. I still think you need more elliptical cardio (EFX). You only have 3 and they are the most used.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The hours are great. The staff is very friendly. The group exercise classes are wonderful. My favorites are Sunday Barre with Laurie, Sunday Body Balance, Pilates at the Church and Saturday Body Pump. I wish there was a Body Sculpt class with Laurie on the weekends. She is awesome but sometimes I can't get to her class on Friday morning because I work.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I joined for the pool, while we lapse swimmer stuff to navigate around the classes in the water walkers, it is nice that you almost always try to provide a lane for lap swimming.
I do wish we could have a little bit more updated weight machines, especially the very popular leg curls and leg extension extensions.
Otherwise, you do a great job, thank you.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

I like the swimming pool, I also like the women’s steam room, but I believe management can improve on cleanliness of this facility. I had been to other facilities and they are much cleaner and well maintained much better than the Franz Ross facility.

The pool at the Bradenton branch is a GEM and their aqua aerobics classes have been an integral part of my life for 25 years!!

What do you like about our programs and activities?

You need to be a better job promoting Bingo! Sometimes a new person sees it on the list or the monthly activities in the newsletter. BUT, people were shocked at the fact that you can register for programs from the little icon at the bottom of 360 -- push that more heavily! Also, day or two before the third wed need a all-member email blast and some type of big sign near the entrance promoting it.

There was a "Senior Day" last week, I teach at least 3 of the senior classes, yet nobody said anything about it, or asked me to be there. Was there a follow up to Instructors of what was learned, suggestions on what it needed for improvement? I think better communications for the Instructors is definitely warranted. Gather some people together and listen to ideas ... Lucy cannot just do everything herself.
