Member Testimonials
Convenient hours and days. Not needed to register for classes. All the variety of activities and program for seniors
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!!!
The pool area is very clean.
Good classes but need more during the snowbird season.
The ease of becoming a member, the quality of the instructors in the group fitness classes, the simplicity of signing up for a class online. As usual, as with other Y’s, this place makes me feel good the minute I step in the door!
Great variety and great instructors!

Excellent place, clean & well setup. Helpful staff
I take fitness classes. Great instructors and variety.
Right from the front desk, the staff is friendly and welcoming.
I have made many friends from the Y. I like the diversity of all of the people that are there. I especially love when I walk in to see the young mothers with their children. I think your daycare program is a wonderful thing.
I would highly recommend the Y and I do talk about it too many people. Thank you for the opportunity to tell you how I feel Gladys Quackenbush.
Great app to communicate with YMSA related to classes, making reservations, getting updates about events, as per experience I have very nice and professional teasers, yoga and Barr.
So what I'm going to need is needles, it is easy to workout. No time spent waiting in order for him to be seen
Very comprhensive programs.
Tho I’m in pretty good shape physically at 66, my days of wanting to do body pump and many lunges are behind me. I’m so so glad you have a few classes good for seniors at a time that’s realistic given the drive-time (11:30 a.m.). Some constructive input: I have no idea who or what Les Mills is and that puts me off on those classes, like they’d be classes I’d take in earlier decades of my life. Also, not all instructor use good music which makes such a difference. Tuesday SEAT instructor seems to put some thought into that. I drive 45 minutes to take a few of your classes because the Bradenton Y near me is such an old dump, it’s depressing. Glad you’re an option.
Mostly interested in the weight machines and treadmills.
Equipment seems to be in good shape. Facilities always seem clean.
Friendly.. accessible…helpful when needed.
Jen O is an amazing instructor. She remembers everyone’s names and details about our lives, even those of us who are seasonal. We take her BodyPump classes and she does a fantastic job.
Wide variety of classes or the ability to work out independently
Very diversified and a well run clean facility
