Good variety of classes and workout equipment.
Organized
My daughter is having fun and making friends... thank u..
My son has really enjoyed his experience, always coming home and telling me about a new friend. The staff have been really helpful.
My child has come home everyday excited for the next day. I love the interactions the counselors have with the campers and the schedule. The orientation was a plus!
very caring and Professional staff. My son always felt safe and he felt they cared. Great communication as well!
It's safe clean and wholesome. I can drop my daughter off everyday knowing that she is well attended to safe and with people who hold good morals and standards.
Great week!
So far, so VERY good! Our family is enjoying the beautiful, and well maintained premises, as well as different great services you offer. The KidsClub is particularly convenient for families with children, and Mari, Kimberly and Gloria (at YMCA Hope Valley) are particularly caring with our toddler boys. All staff has been very friendly with us, and are always willing to help and go the extra mile. We are very happy with our decision of joining YMCA, a month ago.
Close to home with lots of variety for classes
Great example of a diverse environment and the benefits that accrue to us from that
The desk staff was the friendliest of all locations so far. It was a memorable experience and made me feel welcome visiting a new location.
Reception is friendly and the locker room is nice.
Convenient
I love the staff at Lakewood. Also Nancy Sawaya is the best instructor I ever had. I love that I have been able to take classes with her for 20 years.
Lakewood is a friendly and wonderful community
Clean, well-kept facilities. Easy to navigate court and equipment rentals. Big fan of the sauna/steam room and they have done a good job keeping those items operational
Great location, excellent excellent staff, friendly and professional. Not to mention the members Are super friendly. The showers, sauna and steamroom are for always clean and Working
That it has in door and out door options. I just discovered the track in the back.. I like that you all added another barre class. I’m trying to get one one more added to the evenings at the downtown Durham or American tobacco location.
Great environment. Love the steam room.

Brianna is a great yoga instructor!
The sauna and steam room are always working unlike the downtown location.
Friendly staff, good equipment
I like the convenience and the employees. Nice neighborhood feel. Please do what you can to manage costs - I am retired and I believe membership cost rose 7%
Very friendly & inclusive atmosphere. Ellie's strength training class (Lean & Cut) is great. Good fans in the group exercise room, women's locker room is comfortable & spacious, lots of good fitness equipment. And it's fun to see young kids playing ping pong while all of the other stuff is going on.
I have only one class there these days but besides the room which is difficult to temp control and the fans whir. I have always liked Lakewood.
I don’t think the front desk is really checking memberships anymore, there are a lot of people in Monday nights yoga and either we should stop signing up since it seems pointless or someone should check that you signed up.
A new member told me that she never was told about the app, that seems well, not very effective
Thanks for so many opportunities at so many Y’s in the triangle
Comfort

Volleyball!!!!
