The water in the men’s showers is always cold, requiring several minutes to run to get warm enough to use, it doesn’t matter what time of day. Need more hot water in showers!
Can we start a volleyball league. I know it's popular with other YMCA. Some YMCAs had a once a week play time for a few hours just for fun and others had a league through the winter. Thanks have a good new years
Yoga
Water aerobics
You can just show up for a class usually. There is easy access to a personal trainer for a nominal charge, who will work with you for a half hour to our increment, for just one session, or as many as you would like. There is a wide variety of classes and activity available. All the staff I have come in contact with are very welcoming, friendly, and more than willing to help.
Swimming lesson and Yoga lesson
I really enjoy the group exercise classes - Mary does a great job with Pure Strength on Sunday mornings!
Absolutely love the silver sneaker programs with Andrea and the twins!!! Challenging and so fun!
And also Sat Zumba with Christine!
Lastly, drop in pickle ball is so flexible, fun and welcoming, no matter your skill level! Lakewood Y rocks!

They have a wonderful group water aerobics Monday through Friday taught by Maureen. Sorry to hear she will be retiring soon.

only needed upgrade, and i dont know how it could be done, is indoor walking track...not a deal breaker:)
i love how welcoming and approachable the classes are and i enjoy feeling like a part of the community. also great facilities!
Well, I’ve only done the gym for workouts and trying to get back mobility from multiple surgeries over the last few years. Great staff good machines met a lot of good people.
I always enjoy my workouts at the Y. It is convenient to get to and the staff always makes you feel welcome. The facility is always clean and the equipment is well maintained. I never have to wait for a treadmill and so I can get in and out quickly!
A wide variety of choices and schedules
There is an atmosphere of warmth and caring. The facility is clean and appealing.
Thank you for it all!
Kind regards.

I enjoy water aerobics…wonderful for aging joints!
Great teachers and classes.
Lots of options for all ages/abilities
The new instructor is awesome!
The new swim instructor is amazing!
There is a very wide selection of programs which i enjoy. I will say the Sauna is getting nasty. The boards need replaced are get very slimy due to people swimming and going to the sauna. Some will do it multiple times. The boards are now starting to rot and will eventually break on someone. It's the boards on the top.
I mainly use the pool for lap swimming, and I have noticed in the past month or so that the pool is much cleaner, however, it usually is clean. Seems the pool floor has no sediment around the edges as much as has been the case. And the water is clear. The water temperature is perfect, a little colder which is better for water activities.
Not happy about the change in the website for Lakewood. Not as user friendly and the pool schedule is nearly impossible to find.
I am considering working with a personal trainer for strength training.
You have very welcoming staff members at the reception desk. I use the hot tub for therapy and it always looks cared for with clear water. The lifeguards are also responsive to any questions. I'll miss visiting there since the downtown YMCA has now repaired their hot tub. Meanwhile, I'll still consider visiting during weekends when I have time to drive to your facility.
I am in the silver sneakers program. It is a free program for seniors. To help us keep up our health. The are many programs to choose from. when I first started. I got 2 days with a personal trainer. First we went through my health issues. There are a lot. He was able to work out a program that was safe for me. It was wonderful. I physically felt better. I mentally felt better. Until a medical condition cut me down again. I am at a safe spot now. Unfortunately I lost all that I had gained. So I going to start over. But I do know what I can accomplish. The is always someone there who can help when you start new things. The people I have meet there are also wonderful.
