Member Testimonials

I love taking Active Adult classes with Sherri. She has motivated me for many years and is a tremendous asset to the Venice Y.

Night and weekend classes.
Friendly from desk staff very welcoming.
Qualified instructors

I like the pool and water aerobics program, but am disappointed it has been cut back. The staff is great.

Love the Zumba classes.

Not only you provide many programs and bc activities to the young members but you have many activities for us seniors to participate not only making us healthier and stronger but building up new friendships. Also your staff is friendly and courteous ☺️🤞

The gym has a fair amount of equipment. I dont participate in any programs but many others do so I’m sure they’re also quality.

The work out and exercise

I love the yoga programs and they are my primary reason for having a membership. I also like the periodic special yoga programs on the weekends that are offered. Thanks

Love aqua fitness class with Bonnie. She's the reason I joined the Y.
Would like if you brought back deep water class & her line dancing

Lots of choices.

Primarily I utilize 1st floor machines and 2nd floor stretching benches and bikes elliptical machines for cardio. Also recently utilize hot tub post workouts.

Spouse enjoys her weekly training sessions with Dana Martineau, and has been working with Dana for 7 years. Spouse also enjoys attending exercise classes and Zoomba class.

Convenient times.

Leslie’s body balance is amazing. My bone density increased by taking her class. And I love everything Judy does, especially step. I would absolutely love it if you would bring back line dancing.

Variety of classes and equipment.

New weight machines are clean & effective. Gym is clean and has a lot to offer

I like the availability of the ymca, I wish it could be open on the weekends a little longer and I wish the baseball fields would be redone like they were long ago. and the pool resurfaced etc

Very good with great instructor who achieves your objectives. The breath of what you offer is impressive.

I like the group classes, though I know your treadmills and other machines are good and necessary for a good workout.

Being a “senior “, I do not like very early classes, preferring nothing before 9am. I commute from the north side of Venice and in season the early work-traffic can be an issue.

Love the variety. More chair yoga would be wonderful

Great instructors

I love the water aerobics and aqua Zumba.
My husband enjoys the group exercise classes.
I wish you could have chair yoga around 10 sometimes. I would greatly appreciate it.

I mostly work out

We love playing racquetball and going upstairs to the treadmill on rainy or too hot days.

Don’t apply

We love the racquetball courts

The Venice YMCA has cutting edge group fitness classes as well as the best Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Trainers. There are lots of resistance machines and free weights. And the cardio studios have all the latest equipment that is kept in good working condition.

The programs and activities are awesome. Honestly, I can’t think of anything to say negatively about them - only positive.

I think what makes everything work well at the YMCA specifically the Venice branch because that’s where I Frequent is the people - you hire great people !

Your employees genuinely care for others are friendly and easy to get along with. It’s the favorite part of my day, almost every day!

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care - about them !

Keep it up thanks

I utilize the weight room and classes. Appreciate the variety and thank you for great instructors!

Everything!
What I don't like is the cell phone usage during a work out. People tend to use the machines as a phone both, instead of using it for excercise. It's fine if they want to listen to music but to sit around texting, tying up a machine that's not good. I've spoken to a few of your instructors and they feel the same. Other than that, its a great gym.

Still recovering from shoulder replacement. Will use your facility when able
