Member Testimonials
The Lakewood Ranch Y is in a very convenient location and has an extremely large selection of both cardio equipment and weights. They have dedicated rooms for various classes as well which always seem to be well attended. The outdoor heated swimming pool is very nice and is 25 yards vs. 50 which I prefer. Employees are friendly and they keep the facility very clean and organized. Access is extremely easy with the card scanner or can use phone app to scan code. The only negative could see that would apply to some would be limited hours. Would say it works for 95 percent or more but if left extremely early or late I suggest reviewing. The cost is honestly more than reasonable which is a pretty rare thing to say these days. I am usually critical on reviews but can say that other than if the hours are a problem this is the best facility option in Lakewood Ranch.

There is some thing to do for the whole family. The YMCA office such a great value for today’s family. I grew up going to the YMCA and so did my children. If i had it to do all over again, I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Those are so helpful for keeping healthy
Having been a member of the Lakewood Ranch YMCA since 2005, I & my family have enjoyed all of the programs, activities & facilities.
Clean, friendly, calming but energizing atmosphere.
Clean equipment and helpful staff. Close to home. My whole family goes often.

I like the variety offered in the group exercise classes --from yoga to Body Pump to Sprint. It allows for an individual to design an exercise program tailored to their individual goals.
