Coach Anna is great for swim lessons with good progress
Swim lessons are available at times that work with our schedule. We can have all 3 kids back to back.

Silver Sneaker classes. Equipment. Staff.
child care available
diverse classes offered
The pool area and hot tub area are much cleaner than they were when I last belonged. I like the pool exercise classes, the strengthening class and the lap swimming. I have not tried the massage chair yet, but it's on my list.
Yoga and cycle. I would love an 8 or 9 am every day!!! The instructors are the reason I come back
Classes.
However pool too busy, can't swim laps
I like the variety of classes to get strength, stretching and aerobic exercise.
The facilities are nice and my kids love going to swim lessons. I especially want to give a shoutout to one of the instructors named Elliot. I have absolutely LOVED him working with my 4 year old son and actively seek out his classes for my son. He is so calm and kind with the kids while providing structure and keeping the kids engaged. We love Elliot and appreciate his work with our child!
Why I LOVE the YMCA in Lakewood 🧡
There’s something special about the YMCA Lakewood that keeps me going back — and I think you’ll love it too!
✨ Community that feels like family
From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with real warmth. People aren’t just working out — they’re connecting, encouraging, and cheering each other on.
💪 Great fitness options for EVERY body
Whether I want a challenging workout, a peaceful swim, or a group class with good energy — it’s all there. Strength training, cardio, classes, and the pool make it easy to mix it up every visit.
🏃♂️ A place that supports wellness, not just exercise
It’s not about perfection — it’s about showing up, doing your best, and growing. I leave feeling stronger, calmer, and more centered.
👨👩👧👦 Family-friendly vibe
Kids, adults, seniors — everyone feels welcome. It’s a place where all ages can be active, learn, and thrive together.
💖 More than a gym — a community hub
From events to classes to just bumping into neighbors, the YMCA goes beyond workouts — it’s where connections happen.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, seriously — come see what makes it such an uplifting place to be.

I love the Pathways child care opportunities, the Kids Night out, and giving adults time to exercise! Open swim is also great!
I've enjoyed both swimming lessons and aqua aerobics so far with my Y membership
I really enjoy the many group exercise classes available. For a person like myself who isn’t self-motivated they’re great. Very good instructors and a nice variety of workouts.
We love all of the resources we can utilize here for our family! Swim lessons, zero depth entry pool, sauna and hot tub!
Elliot is a fantastic teacher!!
Great variety and amazing instructors. Most programs have the option to choose day and time, since they are offered throughout the week, so it’s easy to fit on busy work schedules
Schedules are great
I like the variety of classes. I would like opportunities for more evening pickleball and/or development of a dedicated pickleball court like they have at the Y in North Royalton.
Enjoy the instructors and the variety of classes offered and times offered as well
There's something for everyone
