Fitness & Gyms in Venice, FL

“I love working with Stacey at Soul Fitness Studio. She give you great instruction with modifications for all fitness levels. Small classes and fun social activities so you get to know the other clients. It's a nice little family. If you go north for the summer Stacey has challenges and encouragement on line to keep you motivated. Soul Fitness has group training and individual training for strength, balance, cardio and nutrition at great prices. Give it a try and stay healthy. I have been a client at Soul fitness for 3 years and plan to continue.”

“If you want to get up off the couch, move to music, get fit and have fun, get to Jazzercise! You can do this! I'm over 70, and if I can do this, so can you. It's time to get moving and get fit! This place is awesome!”

“Enjoyed my evaluation visit. Dawn is very good at what she does. Looking forward to my first session in her super clean and sparkling home gym. Easy parking and easy to find.”

“Equipment is up to date and works really well. They have a good selection of weights unlike most gyms in the area. They have dumbbells in 12.5, 17.5 and 22.5 lbs - these are good increments and great to have.Unfortunately they are missing a seated leg curl (hamstring machine) which is a must have for any body building program. They do have a prone leg curl.Their cardio machines are pretty good also, although they only have 2 stair masters. They have a good amount of treadmills, ellipticals and bicycles.We like that you can use it anytime. They do close down the gym for maintenance or repairs but they announce it on their app so make sure to download it to get updates.Cleanliness is okay for a gym. I’ve been a member at the YMCA and YouFit. YouFit is the cleanest one I’ve been to. This is maybe a 3 stars. A little dusty by the stretching area/kettle bell area. The women’s bathroom isn’t always clean. The men’s bathroom often runs out of toilet paper per my husband.Depending on when you go the crowd is different. We were early morning people so it’s usually quiet but there are some people who would occupy multiple machines and that was annoying. I worked out before I went to work so I was in a rush to get my workouts done on time and it was rude that some members did that.Overall the staff is helpful. We had to cancel our membership (monthly) and the process was not as painstaking as Crunch Fitness. They are more friendlier to people who they can sell their personal training sessions or group session but that’s expected.Great price for the value but a little bit of a smaller gym - which has its advantages (tight knit community if that’s what you’re after) and disadvantages (can get crowded).”

“I have been attending the Venice YMCA for almost three years, and really appreciate the variety of options offered - the numerous machines on two floors, the classes, and the gorgeous outdoor pool. Many machines are being replaced, and it's thrilling to use the new equipment that is being set up. Class teachers are very patient and it's fun to explore all the different offerings. Wish I had joined years ago. Staff is always friendly and helpful.”

“Kimberly, one of the trainers at Pete's gym has helped me recover from lots of things. She works very thoroughly through many exercises promoting good health for all ages!!”

“Have been using you fit in Venice for about 15 months. It’s clean, beautifully maintained with a great selection of equipment. The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. The gym is extremely well run by the general manager C.J. I need a personal trainer to keep up motivation and help me avoid injury and really lucked out with Liam Whity who I now work with 3 days a week for a hour each time. He has patiently guided me to levels I thought I would never hit. I m 68. When I started one on my goals was to get to 10 pull ups, at the time I managed 4 on a good day. I now do 48. Can’t recommend Liam enough.”

“Abie at the front desk was very kind, patient, and helpful. She handled my requests and was really pleasant. Good customer service is so hard to find these days, but Abie at the Venice Planet Fitness was great!”
