Member Testimonials
I only use the weights area and rowers so can’t weigh in on programs and activities.
That there is a lot of variety to choose from. I prefer yoga, and you have different yoga classes to choose from. I like that .
In regards to the Venice gym, i'd like to see the leg press, that was removed, being brought back. Also, in addition to the existing crunch machine, another one is needed. These two machines are are two of the most used. I suggest they could be replaced with others that go almost unused. Otherwise, as a member since 2004, I would recommend the Venice Y anytime.
Equipment and floor staff
I love the variety of Group Exercise classes that are offered on a daily basis.
My husband and I enjoy swimming in the pool when water in the gulf still cold. Also we like when our grandkids come to visit, YMCA gives them guests pass.
Love the yoga classes.
Group classes and cardio equipment . Friendly front desk and always people cleaning .
I love the variety of classes you offer and the wonderful instructors, in particular Jan Boisvert. THe facility is very impressive.
The instructors are a great bunch, but I would like to see better availability for Zumba and Body Combat classes.
Variety, classes, instructors, and ambience

The variety of classes, and the much improved website to sign up for classes.
This is a full featured gym. Lots of options!
forever fit jean’s pilates, too crowded in winter
This Y is a wonderful place. My only constructive comment is you should have signs that say not to use your telephone while you’re working out. On the second floor semi recumbent bikes there’s always a woman or two who’s talking on their phone but they don’t use AirPods. They don’t use anything. They put it on speaker. I asked one of the women to stop doing that and it was annoying everybody on the floor and I thought the woman was gonna hit me. She got so pee out, but if you’ve got signs that say if you’re gonna come talk or call, please go outside. I think that would be a very positive move. Thank you for having such a great wife.
I really enjoy all the Group classes. I also like a space to do personalized fitness for my self and others.
Love all of the machines available. Most of your rowers do need some maintenance. Fans need to be cleaned to get better resistance, wheels on seat on rower closest to stair climber makes scraping noise and some chains probably are due for replacement.
Well organized, good classes, helpful and friendly staff.
Accessible … clean and friendly!
Lots of work out equipment from free weights to cable machines and everything in between and the sauna works great !!!!

They have followed my activity levels through the years and always recommend and encourage me to take classes at my level!
The variety of classes are wonderful and offered several times throughout the day.
Variety, good teachers, spacious rooms.
Wide variety of classes offered at various times
We've only used the pool up to down and joined because we wanted more water during the winter months that has not always been the case we were told it would be 82 all year round and there were days where it was practically 76 Fahrenheit but all in all we enjoy it however I have made multiple requests comments and asked someone to look into how the YMCA in Venice can find a way to link the freedom health care benefits prepaid card which is a MasterCard to be used at the facility since the YMCA in Bradenton is allowing it directly but not Venice not sure why this has not been made possible since we have already been no on our second year with the YMCA Venice and need to ask every month for the bill to submit it for a refund with our nation's benefits if somebody could look into that that would be great thank you
Variety of classes. Instructors who realize how that they are mostly teaching the older generation
