Member Testimonials

Venice Y is a very nice facility. Lots of exercise equipment ; and, very helpful and pleasant staff.
It is a very friendly place with lots to do with cordial members.

There areSo many fitness classes to choose from with energetic instructors.

I like the Pilates with Jamisue. She is energetic and encouraging. I come regularly because she creates an exercise environment where we can also make friends.

Love all the options for working out from machines to free weights.

The pool is great to exercise in
The variety & quantity of machines is excellent.

I love using the gym! There's a lot of equipment to choose from to exercise my entire body. It is a pleasant atmosphere.

Group classes

I love the pool and the staff does a great job of keeping it up and safe

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.

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!

Everything

I love all the Group Ex classes!

Group classes are all excellent!!! Instructors are 10+, space is at minimum above average.
I hesitate to sing the Y’s praises to newbies b/c of overcrowded space, especially in the parking lot.

I have been a member since november 2012. I use the gym and pool 3 times per week ever since.

Classes offered
Friendly trainers and staff
Variety of equipment

Likes—-clean environment-multi ple classes to chose from —good variety of machines Dislikes—-need to put chairs back all sround facility for people to rest between workouts/or machines. Way too many people “breaking” “scrolling” on phones while occupying machines—when brought this to staff attention—was told to stand in front of them to intimidate—NOT!!!—also at one time had signs to keep people moving on machines-/currently some are staying 15++mins on machines and tables (all ages) or leaving towel over seat while working on another machine—need a few more workout tables

Wide choice of equipment and classes. Friendly and helpful employees. Hours of operation. 😎
