Member Testimonials
The people are great - desk staff, group fitness instructors, and the other members. And the location is convenient and parking is usually easy.
Steam room low key and maturity
Good size not too big. Cleanliness. Friendly staff. Updated equipment. Not crowded
I like the small setting, quiet and relaxing environment. Staff are friendly and helpful if you need something.
Gym members are courteous and respectful to each other.
I feel very happy and pleased with YMCA because my girl is happy, they do activities and socialize with other children. I feel safe and calm that she is in a safe and cared for place until I pick her up. I would recommend it 100%, I have even talked to other parents about my satisfactory experience with the after school YMCA. I feel really happy just like my daughter.
Clean facilities
Convenient location, good parking.
Not too big. Spinning bikes available in the main gym. Yoga classes. Friendly staff.
Thank you for your service and the facility you provide the Durham communities
Friendly, clean environment!
Awesome yoga teachers
Friendly staff; adequate machines.
Lori the instructor is great. However parking at this location is not good. a lot of people not going to the gym take all the parking spots which is very unfair for people trying to use the gym and have to find parking somewhere else.
I like the location, the staff and the scale of the Lakewood Y.
Very welcoming environment and really appreciated the short-term membership since we were renting in Durham for two weeks.
The studio is nice and the instructors are great. But I’d like more pilates or barre offerings in the mornings on weekdays. Or have Brianna’s pilates class twice a week!
I like all the Durham Ys but I think Lakewood is my favorite. Maybe because it's smaller so the atmosphere is more easygoing. I enjoy the strength training classes & use a few of the machines. If the weather is good I walk the track behind the building. The music playlist there is great!
Great facility
Fix steam room
My daughter enjoyed herself and gained new ways to embrace herself and stand up for herself
There is a wide variety of equipment to use, there is not a crowd of people there at the time that I go (middle of the day, on weekdays.) There is also assistance with using the equipment if I need it.
Zumba classes
Super friendly staff
Classes and the staff!
the front desk people are very friendly and made you feel welcomed.
Lakewood isn't my home YMCA, but I was in the area for something else, so I took a Zumba class with Lanae. She was excellent! A very clear instructor, and the vibe in the class was really fun. I would take this class again!
The locker facilities were also really clean, and the front desk person was really kind and helpful.
My son does the afterschool for ECA students at McMannen United Methodist Church--everyone there is wonderful and I appreciate how friendly everyone is...keep it up!
The community!
Great fitness & yoga instructors, very nice facilities & staff
Customer Service. Cleanliness. Availability of equipment. And the community.

Chrissy and the others are great people to know. Don't change anything. Love you guys keep up the good work. Coach Dickie Edwards
