The quality instructors
Swimming
I like your special health and fitness classes. I am glad you have personal trainers to help us with our fitness goals. I really like your long open hours from early dawn to late evening so I can schedule my exercise routines around my ever changing daily tasks. I am so happy you keep up with maintenance on your machines and equipment as well as keeping good supplies of sanitation resources available and handy. I am very grateful that you are so responsive to adding classes as demand requires and as new technology and machines become available. Your staff are always very helpful and friendly. I think some of the new classes are very creative and fun. Makes coming to the YMCA an adventure and something to look forward to because you never know what new programs and activities might be introduced for unique challenges both physically and mentally. Also love the range of online courses and videos so I can keep up my fitness goals while I am out-of-town or at home.
Keep up the good work! I'm so proud to be a member.
Excellent group exercise classes
Cardio drumming great program, great instructo.
Also desk staff always friendly!
Like the broadening of programs into educational and social offerings.
As to classes offered, Melissa Berry’s Friday water aerobics are excellent because she interacts with participants and gets everyone moving! Any chance of adding other days to her schedule?
I like the location and the equipment available to work out. I haven’t really done any of the programs yet because they don’t really fit my schedule. Some programs toward the evening would be helpful.

I love the people who work here. I thoroughly enjoy the classes and love making new friends from my classes. I especially like the line dance classes. When the exercise is fun you don't have to nag or push yourself to do it. The wonderful instructors make every class fun.
great instructors and reception. lots of enthusiasm.
I have been a member for 21 years and love the Venice YMCA. There are a lot of choices for classes, something for everyone and I love that. The instructors are the best, especially Judy and Jan. I am not too happy with the sign in, mostly during snow-bird season. Sometimes you can't even get into a class, and I am a full-time resident and member here. Other than that, everything is great!

Great staff, friendly people!
My chair yoga instructor is outstanding. Reservations fill up almost immediately. Could use a full second class. Y’s biggest problem is not enough parking including disability parking,
Diversity of programming available to all ages. Staff with whom I deal are very knowledgeable and excellent with people. Makes me enjoy my experiences at the Englewood YMCA.

Clean environment
Enjoy people.
I like the variety! One can choose from many options . Housekeeping has to be a bit more aware of keeping the building clean . Inside and outside. The entrance always looks a mess.
Wonderful teachers. Great staff. Commitment to community
Instructors and variety of classes
You have wonderful instructors. Great fitness programs.
You offer a wide variety of classes that I take advantage if. Your gym is fully equipped and maintained and very clean.
You can also take advantage of the pickleball courts along with the swimming pool.
I like the Pilates Yoga and Adult exercise
Love the pool…when it is working. Love the senior classes at 11:30 , except they are over crowded. Sometimes over 60 in a class. Add more for seniors.
