I love the cleanliness of the gym, the friendliness of the staff, and the professionalism of the gym on a whole. They have nice equipment and fabulous classes!
A good verity of classes and equipment. Clean and new in appearance.
Fitness classes are great!
I like the YMCA group events— like “RESET” challenges. A personal challenge with recipes…
Variety of programs. Nice facilities.
Outstanding instructors and great selection of classes. I also love the community involvement. Need to improve housekeeping. Bathrooms often lack soap & paper towels, automatic water bottle filler out of order and air-conditioning frequently not working.
Fun instructors
Excellent instuctors. Consistancy of classes. Offering different difficulty levels is paramount.
Love that there rekaxation classes like Thai Chi
The only negative is the huge pot holes in the parking lot. They were notified and did nothing.

Group fitness
I’m a swimmer. I like how easily accessible the pool is and how well kept it is!
I love the amount of sports that are offered here. There truly is something for every kid here.
I wanted to compliment the Director and counselors (and childcare staff) at the Lakewood Ranch Brand YMCA. Having been both a camp counselor and camp director myself, I am extremely impressed with the way that the camps are run.
I have a 13-year-old daughter who has an attended the half day basketball and volleyball camp. She is going to attend the soccer camp next week. Her basketball Camp began when all the other camps started as well. Despite multiple types of camps and many children, campers were quickly grouped and joined with their counselors and locations.
I have been inside the center while camp is in session, and I am extremely impressed by the way communication works between staff members. Walkie talkies are constantly being used, and students are being counted and accounted for. I appreciate that the pool is used exclusively for campers during the day, to maintain camper safety. All counselors seem genuinely happy to be with their campers, and everything is extremely orderly. Counselors are bright and energetic in the morning at check in.
My daughter’s counselor Austin comes to check her out in the afternoon and always had a positive attitude and great things to say about her. He is personable and we have seen him outside of camp hours and he maintains the same composure and energy. I feel extremely safe allowing my children to attend camps and activities here.
We are also extremely impressed with the childcare center. I have a 2 yr old that has been attending the Y for around 6 months. I drop her off with confidence to three knowledgeable, caring and friendly staff members. She is always happy at pick up and excited to attend.
Prior to finding the Y, we were at LA Fitness, where we were extremely unhappy. On one occasion, the childcare supervisor allowed her to play for an unknown length of time in the bathroom. We picked her up soaking wet, with no explanation as to what happened. We still don’t know if she was playing in the toilet or the sink. Needless to say, we canceled our LA Fitness membership that evening.
We are so thrilled to have found the YMCA and are proud to be a part of it.
Great quality classes. Well balanced and lots of choice after 5 pm
Love ALL the older adult classes!
