Member Testimonials
Great for for seniors
We appreciate the efforts of the ymca after hurricane Milton
Love the classes and equipment. The staff are amazing. The instructors go above and beyond!! Hours are convenient also.
Would be nice if there were blinds on the upper windows in the main exercise class room
Other than that absolutely no complaints. Love the gym
Progrmas offered
Senior programs are fantastic.
Love the instructors and the classes. The instructors truly are passionate about what they do. They care about the members, they motivate us to be better! I have been a member in other gyms and the Y at Lakewood Ranch is a gem! I would highly recommend!
Best group classes and instructors.
Excellent coaches, good amenities, friendly environment, and updated classed
Staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. I’m hypermobile, so my posture, stance, hold is always wrong and they always correct gently and politely. AND are informative on how to compensate and why.
Would really love a gentle yoga, or muscle building class for those of us with autoimmune or hupermobilenissues that is either in the early AM or late evening (I work at a school). A “learn to run” club would be cool, too.
I love group fitness! Great instruction
The professionalism of your employees. Great people!
There are so many good activities
The exercise area is great. Good equipment and helpful staff.
I love the pool and classes
Water aerobics and the gym machines
Donna, our seniors program director is quite a valuable asset. She is a most hard working and professional person whose Senior's Program is a model for others to emulate. You combine Donna’s talents with those of your dedicated group of fitness leaders and you have a doozy of a Senior program!
With Hope leading Seniors classes for many years, she brings a knowledge and energy that motivates us old birds to move & groove. Our other senior fitness leaders seem to understand the pace and activity levels of our seniors .
Regarding other areas worth mentioning:
- Cleanliness is always 1 st rate.
- Staff are typically helpful and friendly.
- Communication with your members is excellent.
- Programming and scheduling appears seamless and works ( mostly).
The only constructive critique is we spent some pretty “warm” class sessions with AC problems.
Thanks for the opportunity to share thoughts.

The gym other than a few peak times isn’t overly busy. Full range of both cardio and weight equipment. Pool is nice for outdoor swim training. Staff are nice and give the facility an A plus.
Your group exercise classes are amazing and there are so many options.
I have been a member of the YMCA for 40 yrs. The instructor’s & the staff are very well trained & accommodating! I have the city wide membership & it seems no matter where I go, the employees are so helpful & friendly.
Lots of groups classes
Pool
Chair excercises
Clean & ample facility.
Only complaint & a difficult solution. Too many people use the machines for a seat while using their cell phones. Perhaps a sign would alleviate the problem.
Affordable , wide selection of class times , and friendly staff
Good selection
A great mix of offerings - group classes, specialty training sessions, work out area and a gym. The staff is wonderful- they create a warm and welcoming environment for the Y members.
Quite the variety of classes offered. Hours of operation accomadates all age groups.
Friendly staff & members.
I really like it there.
I only use the fitness center. Some equipment not in good condition.
I haven’t done the programs
There are a lot of classes to choose from and equipment to use! I started out with the midday, senior exercise classes, but have branched out To yoga, strength, training, and dance.
