It's always got a feel good moment
I have been to dwntn ymca and pearl street new pool bldg and lkwd Y is thousand times better in everything! Lkwd pool, sauna, and especially the huge UNPARTITIONED jacuzzi are all far better arranged not chaotic like or in case of jacuzzi lkwds is bigger and not excessively partitioned up. Lkwd is beautifully ROOMY everywhere, mens bathroom has nice curtains in shower and two privacy booths for those wanting more privacy and even that is not OVER done like the pearl street shower booths! Lkwd is the best ymca i have ever been to, 99% of staff are also very nice...except one creepy nit picking older woman at check in counter..who i avoid like the plague

Very helpful and welcoming staff.
Very clean- I observe people cleaning at most of my visits there-yoga mats & blocks, floors, etc.
It has been/is a welcoming, safe and fun place. My kids are still in touch with teammates they swam with as members of the Sharks 20 years ago.
The value is remarkable..the cost of swimming, ballet and gymnastics for the price of a membership can't be done individually on the community.
You said it. Fantastic family and friends.
The YMCA experience has been amazing for my brother he has MS and needs the class he attends every week.

Friendly staff, clean facility,like the new machines.
The staff are always so kind, polite, thoughtful, and helpful. The spaces and equipment are very well cleaned. My kids love their classes. The gymnastics gymnastics is fantastic and the coaches are wonderful. My kids friendly fight over who gets Gabe for their gymnastics teacher. The drop-in zones for kids are fun and have lots of activities. My kids (especially my 3 year old) beg to go into the child watch. My kids are excited to go check out the books and play volleyball or borrow the rackets to play in the smaller courts. My older son loves the chess set in the lobby. I enjoy reading in the café area by the fireplace and windows when I get a few minutes to myself while all my kids are in class and/or child watch.
Everything!

The Lakewood YMCA is a whole family experience for us. I'm the grandma, and I swim with my grandchild on Saturdays while her sister takes swim lessons. They enjoy PE classes at Lakewood. The aquatics director always comes and says hi when she is in the building. Coaches and former coaches are always encouraging them. I see many safety drills and procedures that keep everyone safe.
Their dad takes them to rock climbing and other activities, and my daughter takes them to dance, piano, and other classes at the Pearl Street location. I love that we have two amazing locations with excellent staff nearby.
I’m grateful for the program I have been going to Enhance Program! Because, it helps me to keep motivated in my life style proceedings to recover from my surgery. Also, meeting others members that attend the program. They are very nice and supportive when I mess up the routine, lol! I was not on board at the time because of my transportation getting there. But it worked out well for me to get there and I am now proceeding with my goal. I’m not very overwhelmed with life right now, but just trying enjoy my life as mid adulthood could
The classes, the diversity, the instructors, the comraderie.
Played Pickleball, which I usually play outdoors. Nice group of players, so was an enjoyable experience.
Would suggest having some white balls available - orange is harder to focus on.
It's a very friendly, community-oriented place. The staff aren't just nice because it's their job--they are truly caring people. It's got something for just about everyone.
