Member Testimonials
The Lakewood YMCA fosters a real sense of community. A friend and I joined together, then encouraged our friends to join. Now we meet up at the Y more often than we meet for happy hour.
I don’t use them!
No everything is ok
recent updated or common sense adjustments to weight room equipment....but, having said that, the dropping of deadlifts or clean & jerk movements is jarring...making one feel as if they are personally involved in a car accident!
All group exercise classes are amazing with excellent instructors
Really enjoy the BodyPump classes!
Like that you keep the kids active and moving and have a structured day
I only use the aquatics for lap swimming. The facilities are good despite the occasional lifeguard shortages.
I ilke the variety of programs and options for everyone to try to fit thier needs and activity level
I like the fitness area, pool and gym
Large variety of classes to select from, and everyone is extremely helpful.
Classes
Your programs and activities are broad in scope, offering a broad spectrum.
I liked how well structured the days are. I also like that there is free play, where kids have an opportunity to connect and build stronger relationships with one another.
Best service ever
Daphne aqua instructor is great!
Adore barre/pilates with alex
Love the staff.
The front desk people are friendly, place is cleaned, loved the Childwatch room and the exercise equipment is good
The gym is great and the personnel even called me because I've been in. It motivated me to come in.
5 day a week deep water aerobics
Group classes at convenient times; professional instructors in these classes
I love that all the classes are free! And I always feel welcomed when I go and that people won’t judge me lol

I enjoy the 6 AM cycling class on Tues & Thurs wirh Shannon. This is the primary reason why I have a YMCA membership. It helps me prepare ro ride in VeloSano. I am extremely disappointed to learn that this class is being canceled for rhe summer. I hope you will reconsider this cancelation.
I appreciate the helpfulness of the office staff also I really enjoy the activities they have available
I love the child watch option. This makes working out as a parent so much more accessible. I also really like the women's strength training class and the pilates/barre class. I do wish you had more times available for pilates. All of the equipment is great and everyone has been very friendly!
The instructors are knowledgeable and friendly
Good choices. But too crowded so I do not attend.
Like the blood donation. Site
I like the Saturday 9Am yoga class. I would like to see a yoga flow class as well. There was one
at the Westlake branch Tues. 5:30, but it got discontinued.
Open swim is wonderful.
The weight room is wonderful too. More monitoring for those who bang the weights would be good, and also those who monopolize a weight too long by staring at their phone.

Variety of options and times
