What do you like about our programs and activities?

I love your facility and all the programs you offer. Your staff is tremendous. I have been coming to the Y for almost 40 years.
I have one complaint however. The kids from the charter school and Venice Middle who are there Monday through Friday from about 3-6 are wild and out of control; boys in the girls bathrooms, some of them making out on the racket ball courts and pool tables and just stupid pre-teen and teen behavior behavior is unacceptable.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Come mainly for my trainer, Jason. I have taken a class but right now they are so full and crowded that I’m doing the treadmill and other equipment. I will do pool exercises when it warms up some. I especially like how clean the facility is.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

My activities at the YMCA are for the most part working out in the weight room area and the elliptical equipment and treadmills. Some of the elliptical machines seem to be out of order and hopefully will be working again soon. The equipment in the weight room area is well maintained though the two abductor/adductor machines need the cables tightened as they have too much play in them. Thank you.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

The court reservation system in Bonita Springs is better than it was, but it is still a bit cumbersome. Also, your classes seem to fill up very quick, but I know that you are trying to accommodate as many as you can.

What do you like about our programs and activities?

Early morning body pump and group classes. Mary Lou and Lara are great. Kim needs help with doing the routines correctly. She can’t hear the music and stay on beat. But she’s a very nice person. Lara and Mary Lou are really good.
