Member Testimonials

Joining the classes that has gained me life long friendships!

I am incredibly grateful for the Lake YMCA and the role it has played in my life for more than twenty years.

For two decades, the Lake Y has been a steady presence in my weekly rhythm. Most mornings, that looks like 6am basketball. Long before the sun is up, this place comes alive with familiar faces, shared laughs, competition, and friendships that have grown deeper over time. Those early mornings on the court have shaped my life far beyond fitness. They have built relationships and community that I will carry for the rest of my life.

I am also honored to be part of the leadership team for TWO22, the youth event hosted here in partnership with local churches. Being involved in TWO22 has been a meaningful way to invest in students and families in our community. Watching young people gather in this space, hear truth, find encouragement, and experience belonging has been powerful. Scripture says in 1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers,” and TWO22 creates space for that kind of growth and impact.

On July 7th of this year, my life changed when I was hospitalized with a serious diabetes diagnosis. Recovery required movement, discipline, and consistency. That is when I began lifting for the first time in my life. The Lake YMCA became central to that process. Not through programs or classes, but simply through access, space, and familiarity. The ability to show up, lift, move, and rebuild strength in a place I already trusted mattered more than I can fully express.

There were days when recovery felt overwhelming. On those days, just walking into the Y and doing the work in front of me was enough. The steady rhythm of showing up here helped restore my health, my confidence, and my sense of momentum.

Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 says, “Two are better than one… if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” In many ways, the Lake YMCA has been that kind of place for me. A place where community exists even when words are not exchanged. A place where healing happens quietly, through consistency and presence.

The Lake YMCA has played a massive role in my life. I am deeply thankful for the staff, the facility, and the community that fills it every morning. This place has been part of my story for a long time, and it played a meaningful role in helping me get my life back.

Friendly staff!

Everyone that works at the Y are so friendly and welcoming. I am always greeted with a smile. Thank you!

My son loves playing basketball in the gym. I feel like there’s a good variety of workout equipment. Also like the indoor track.

A GREAT ASSET TO OUR AREA!

WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE IT!

Great facilities with many activities.

Safety concern: The field house and upstairs walking track areas do not have an AED. When I mentioned his to a Y employee, I was told there was one located near the family locker rooms. With the large number of senior citizens who use the walking track and the numerous visitors to the downstairs basketball courts, I feel that an AED in both spaces is essential!

Everyone is friendly and helpful. My personal trainer, Andrea, is amazing. Clean facility!

Friendly, pool is clean

I really enjoy the exercise classes at the Lake Y. Strength Training and Zumba are my favorites. Jenny and Andrea both put together great routines to build muscle, work on balance, cardio and endurance. Plus, the music is fun and there's the social aspect of working out with my Y friends. I always leave feeling better.

people are friendly, equipment is maintained, areas are clean.

Super friendly staff and nice and clean facility. Very user friendly. Highly recommend.

I like that the staff members are friendly and that the facility is family friendly

They have great hours. Even on some holidays which is appreciated. The staff are friendly. The facility is clean. There seems to be programs for every age group. The equipment is well maintained. They get new workout equipment from time to time which shows they are invested in their members. Has a wonderful community vibe and thankful to have this YMCA.

I have been a member at Lake YMCA since they opened. I still work but look forward to going to daytime classes in the studios. I attend some classes in the evening and also the wellness center and of course use the walking track. My suggestion is there needs to be hand sanitizer wall unit at the top of the stairs in the walking track area. I have to use the handrail to go up and down the stairs and would really like to sanitize when I get to the top of the stairs.

This facility is beautiful and clean. The staff and other members are so friendly. Such a wonderful atmosphere everytime I go!

Yoga classes, walking track and circuit

I like and love so much about Lake YMCA.
Only giving it a 9 instead of a 10 because of one thing. The fan noise in the pool room is so darn loud.

Nice clean facilities. Areas are laid out very well, and doesn't feel crowded.

Very clean, ambient, and open pool. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Not too crowded. Very modern and well kept. My favorite gym I've been to by far!

Many classes to choose from, pool, steam room, whirlpool, plenty of gym equipment, no judgement, friendly people

It is clean and staff is friendly and approachable. I like that there isn’t much turnover and we see the same faces at the desk. Turnover has been higher in the weight room lately but I’m sure that is hard to staff.

Good activities for seniors outside of exercising. Jen doing a great job!

I like that the classes have multiple levels and are included with the membership.I like the updated and well taken care of equipment as well as the variety of cardio and weight machines available. The facility is well-maintained and staff is friendly.

I’m able to get on machines without issues.
