Member Testimonials
Every time I got to the Lakewood Y, it seems like everyone there knows every other member. It's a true community spot, which is a rare find these days!
I love Lakewood. The facilities fit my needs very well, and the people who both work there as well as those who workout there are great!
The staff is so welcoming and supportive
I love Nancy Sawaya's Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday classes.
The facility is clean, weights and machines are well-maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff, excellent group fitness teachers, and clean locker room! Thank you.
Lakewood is a great branch, everyone is really nice though I think one particular front desk staff can be friendlier.
The Lakewood YMCA is convenient, friendly and well equipped for my exercise plan!!
Please maybe please, take the time to ask the Lakewood membership in person about what they like in equipment and staff to make it a better experience. AS you know there was a lot of dis-pleasure when you guys took certain equipment out. All of those were pieces that members used a lot. Keep up the good work. Always room for improvement. Also if you add a staff member to the floor, make sure he or she is trained not only on the equipment, but have the courage to tell folks sitting on equipment with their cell phones to move or obey the signage.
I love the rebuild on the sauna. Racquetball courts are also consistently in excellent shape, and the staff is one of my favorite groups in the triangle.
Please consider adding another squat rack.
Friendly and competent instructors
Cleanliness, friendliness, and great classes and instructors.
I love the Lakewood Y. Great light, not crowded.
Staff members are always welcoming and friendly. Space is kept clean.
It is walking distance from my home, and my favorite yoga class is there
I love the community it fosters, the community servie projects they do, the equipment and facilities, and the classes. My only wish is that there were more cardio classes. I want Pound class to come back!
Good location, facility, parking, equipment, & group exercise room. People at this Y look like Durham. Friendly & welcoming atmosphere. Good music playlist, upbeat & motivating. Love it when there are kids playing ping pong by the front entrance. A very comfortable place to work out.
Facilities are excellent and the staff personable as well as helpful.

I like the Lakewood community created by the Y.
I love exercising with my "neighbors" (we live about a half mile from the Lakewood location). The staff is friendly, and many greet me by name.
Good zumba class. I wish there were more in the mornings.
Location is easy for me to get to. Most of the time, good parking. Just the right size for me. The locker room is pretty good - my only complaint is the lack of space. There are way to many locker bays in there and not enough benches/space for changing. Definitely wasted space on the lockers.
Sauna is always working proper.
ping pong tables.
The workout room is on the same floor in the locker room.

I love yoga but unfortunately you've cut my yoga class down to just 60 minutes it used to be 75 minutes. The 75 minute format really is better
