The space is great so you don’t bump into anybody else, it’s very clean , employees are friendly

Great instructors …

Like getting on the exercise bike and the treadmill and I like to go swimming and get in the hot tub

One would have to visit our local Whitaker YMCA at Hamburg in Lexington to appreciate how clean; well equipped with an abundance of exercise equipment and programs for all ages; well managed; and how talented and unique its staff is beginning with Director Dana Ensley and including such people as Amber, Mikki, Will, Mary, Laura, Ron, Tom, Tabitha, and Missy.

The EGYM Program which was added about a year ago, is literally in a class by itself and includes eleven pieces of exercise equipment all assembled in one place, all of which are automatic in the sense that they record and update your data, and as appropriate, they update the amount of weight one works with on each of the 11 machines. Some company must have invested multiplied millions of dollars in the research and development of these sophisticated machines.

They YMCA of central KY hosts a great variety of programs and activities - for every age group, for every fitness level and at an affordable cost.

The options for scheduling swim classes. The classes teach the students something new every week.

Swimming area is great

Great variety for all ages & interest levels.

Close to where I live.

Fun and easy, good workout for the money.

Aquatics facilities are outstanding, I also like the inside walking track with hand weights and the stationary bikes overlooking the pool area!

Thank you for making us feel so welcome as we used our Medicare Advantage plan, and for letting us bring our grandsons when they come to visit us!

It is a good place to work out and meet people. And the staff is friendly.

Friendly, easy access, the programs /activities times are flexible. I love how the weight machines set up based on body weight and strength to optimize the workout experience. Craig is the best; he is patience, kind, encouraging and a joy to be around. his explanation of the weight machine was very clear and simple. I will return! Thank you!

So many activities, programs and equipment offering a variety.

We love the pool because of the slide. The track is wider than most tracks which is really nice. I like that there are plenty of family restrooms/changing rooms. We have a 9 year old grandson and I’m still not comfortable letting him go into the men’s restroom alone. But he’s too old to go into the women’s restroom, so family ones are great!

I love the group classes, very easy to follow and fun.

Kid's pool was great for my granddaughter.
Cameron was very helpful...great employee with customer focus.

I like the variety of programs and activities available for different age groups.

Great variety of classes and personal work out options.

I have only visited your facility once, with my preschool grands. The splash pad is grand. I would enjoy a few shade spots.

I was intimidated by the pool life jacket rule, even though my daughter had prepared me. We had an adult for each child. The four year old needs time going from arms to pool side and gaining confidence and the 16 month old screamed starting with flotation device application until we left the pool. I understand safety is your goal, and maybe there is accommodation I seek and we could not tolerate screaming long enough to find out! We provided our own float devices.

The family corridor is lovely.

I have friends who play pickleball at your facility and one that recommends a mechanic fitness evaluation.

My Pilates instructor Kara is the best. All the staff is friendly. We love using the Egym and walking track! Whitaker Y is awesome!

I would love to see more yoga classes!

Large selection of classes and equipment. Everyone there is helpful, knowledgeable and nice
