Member Testimonials
the variety of classes
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.
Fun to do.
Variety! I like that so many of your classes are appropriate for “older” members.
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.
I’m a new member and haven’t participated in any of the programs or activities yet.
I just workout in the morning.
I love the classes & the instructors.
I like the group fitness classes
Hours and staff are friendly and helpful.
I like the friendliness. Enjoy the machines and the natural light. It’s a comfortable place to exercise and make friends.
Activities keep you healthy and be with a bunch of great folks for community awareness
Pilates with Jamisue and belly dancing
I just use the gym area. It is clean. I enjoy the staff, as well as the members.
What I like most is the variety of programs and activities available. They create a welcoming environment where people can have fun, build confidence, learn, and feel included.
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.
Great instructors and class choices.
Wonderful morning fitness classes with excellent instructors
Love all the group classes!!
Terri & Matthew make it super fun to be there
Good selection and friendly staff.
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!!
Also the swimming lessons for children are so IMPORTANT!
Good variety and options for all levels.
No fee for classes
Everything I need. Great gym

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.
I like the classes.
Excellent facility, most kind and professional staff. Pam is a total asset to the entire facility.

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.
