Member Testimonials
The " Y " is very well run with a wide variety of things to do , it is clean and kept clean , the people are knowledgable and helpful...............
Convenience
There are enough exercise stations and a large enough space that even when the Y is busy, I can get my light workout in. And it's clean. And the staff is upbeat. And it's family-friendly in all ways. And it's affordable. And it contributes significantly to the community. Way to go, folks!!
The equipment is varied, clean and in good condition. The pool, hot tub and sauna are also nice. I haven't done classes in a while, but used to do Zumba with Gail when I got the opportunity. She is excellent!
I like the variety of activities and that classes are offered up until 8 pm in the evenings.
Hours
i LIKE THE SILVER-SNEAKER PROGRAM BUT THE LAST TME I WAS THERE THE ROOM WAS TOO FULL SO I LEFT.
I like the silver sneakers classes
Everything
Silver sneakers yoga
Diversity, acceptance of all, positive values, family friendly, class offerings, indoor pool, hot tub & sauna
I go there to swim laps and I like that you usually have 4 lanes open for lap swimming, I usually swim a mile and because of abdominal/chest surgery this is about the only exercise that I can do safely. Also, I enjoy the warmer temperature of the water being older.
I like the atmosphere of the Y. All of the people that work at the Lakewood YMCA are helpful and gracious. I've been going to the YMCA since I was a boy (with my father at the Downtown Y), and it has always been a part of my life. I now take my son to the Y, so the tradition continues!
Currently I'm more into the aquatics. I'd like to learn the butterfly stroke. I like the number of lap lanes, ample opportunity to get some laps in.
Family friendly programs for all skill levels!
Nice professional staff members!
Accessible to all, the Lakewood Y feels like a true place of community in Lakewood.
Variety of classes
John H has great workout classes (TRX, CAOS) that are more challenging, and he is very creative--each class he brings new ideas and workouts to keep things fresh...
It’s a great place to get a workout
I am at the YMCA almost every day for the water aerobics classes. I am ready for the day afterward and, over time, my arthritis has disappeared.
I like the variety of classes available. The facilities are clean and it's awesome that you provide child care.
I am motivated by the staff and how well maintained the facility is.
Great group exercise classes.
I like the gym and putting my daughter in the play with room!
I like the workout room and the spa.
A varied mix of classes spread throughout the day and evening. Good, motivating and engaging instructors. My fellow class participants I do not participate in other activities so I cannot provide much input. But it appears that the Older Active Adults group is popular and along with the Silver Sneakers program attracts a number of people.
Lots of variety!
Plenty of options
Time
many to choose from need more beat classes
