Member Testimonials
Pathways and open basketball!
Luv your seniors classes in the mornings.....and I do like how clean the Lakewood "Y" is....and I especially LUV the noon spin class. perfect time and 30 minutes is perfect amount of time
The exercise classes are excellent, the instructors are excellent and very knowledgeable. The Y is very clean and following rules for Covid.
I enjoy the pool, swimming laps. I used to use the workout room and take exercise classes. But haven't been upstairs since COVID.
Dance classes
As a senior citizen and Silver Sneakers member, I appreciate the early-morning hours that the Y offers for those who prefer limited interaction with others during these challenging times. I also appreciate all of the steps that management and staff have taken to keep us all as safe and protected as possible.
I like instructors who keep you interested in the classes and challenged by the type of exercises.
The pool!
I'm just a fitness center user so the new equipment is nice though I miss the Precor stretch machine. When my kids were younger 15 years ago I was in Adventure Guides with the summer and winter weekends at camps. They are grown now. I may use the massage therapy services on the first floor.
Nice new equipment and plenty of social distancing.
Variety and effort to offer water exercise during this challenging year.
M.s.swim
I love the workout equipment and variety of equipment available. I like the family swim times and that on weekends there's more swim times. I just wish there was more for my daughter, who is 7, to do when we go. She likes to climb the rock wall & and swim but if we miss swimming, she can't do too much while the rest of us workout. It's the only reason we haven't come in more. Can't wait for dodgeball to start again & we are hoping to sign our son up for the Jr. Cavs basketball as well! We still love the YMCA so much & we are glad we joined!
The convenience
I only use selective exercise equipment as well as the hot tub
The friendly and educating staff that love their job and also educate my 3 kids on water safety .
I love the swimming pool and lessons offered. I only wish you offered more of a variety in the evenings like the current daytime programs in Lakewood. You need more personable instructors in the evening that treat everyone with respect and show people that he/she wants to be there. The evening classes are not the same quality or people. What happened to Leslie. She's a great instructor!
I have enjoyed the YMCA/YWCA since I was a child. Now my Grandchildren can.
Variety, good machines, yoga classes, pickle ball, spin classes, great for silver sneakers members.
The equipment is very modern and useful. COVID precautions are very good. The staff regularly cleans equipment, and I like that masks are required at all times, even during exercise.
Right now I am just using the pool. I very much appreciate the efforts you have made to keep me safe.
Hadn’t been to the Lakewood, OH YMCA in over a year due to a long recovery from extensive foot surgery and cautiousness about the virus. I did the Sunday 10:15 sculpt class with Mary. I was warmly greeted and welcomed by the young lady at the front desk. I felt the Y had implemented well thought through safety procedures. The class was terrific.Mary really cares about her class participants and provides clear instruction and various options on ways to perform the exercises to accommodate all levels of needs in her class. Thanks to all. Great job !
I love the fact that actually have had classes available during the virus. It is especially nice to see and now that you can take a water class and be able to use the locker room and shower to change and take a shower.,
Pickle ball
I most enjoy the fact that there is a wide range of machines and activities so I can mix up my routine. As I am recently retired, I am looking forward to joining some daytime classes when COVID is finally contained.
Friendly environment
Everything is great except for the website. I really wish there was a description of each class as well.
The staff is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The facility is clean.
All the machines bikes and yoga along with great staff!
