Member Testimonials
Great instructors, wonderful community
Love this place!!!!
I like the classes that are offered especially Nancy.
The people at the desk are always friendly. The zumba classes are fun!
The Lakewood YMCA premises are welcoming and well-maintained. The front desk person always greets you with a smile and is eager to help. This branch offers a variety of health-improving programs to choose from. The central room accommodates a large number of stationary-bikes enabling several members to use them at the same time. Last but not the least, as a lady-member I value the fact that the ladies’ locker room and bathrooms are clean.

Great location, good classes from 5:30-6:30 pm (love Anthony and Ellie). Can you please add a 5:30 Monday night dance or cardio or strength class?
It’s very convenient for those who work long hours and the staff is very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. My child also seems to enjoy the afterschool program.

That the sauna and steam room always works!😊
The location is convenient and has great parking. It’s clean and wasn’t crowded. Most of all the staff were very friendly especially Dee!
I love the racquetball courts and ping pong table, and the proximity to my kids' school - Lakewood. The locker room is nice, though the ventilation could be better, it is often quite hot and stuffy in there. I don't use the equipment too much, but I like that there are lots of options. I wish there was a more private space for working out on the mats, rather than right by the treadmills and ellipticals.
I know this survey is geared towards Lakewood, but I also attend group fitness classes at the Downtown Y and really enjoy Lenae's cardio strength class and the aqua zumba classes. And my family and I love the Meadowmont pool in the summers.
Friendly staff. Convenient location.
It's all been very positive! It's much more friendly from the parent-YMCA interaction perspective this year--I'm not sure what you all have done, but it's appreciated!
I love Ms.E. My child loves ms.e. The times for percare and aftercare allow me to work. 10/10 would recommend
Our family has really enjoyed the supportive, friendly, and fun environment at Lakewood Y’s youth sports.
Great teachers, friendly environment, excellent classes, gives back to the community.
The staff are amazing
The free weights
The hours
Lexx does a wonderful job with communication and running the program. The facility is wonderful and our children always have fun. The downside is relying on parent volunteers to coach. YMCA staff should be trained to coach if necessary, especially since several of them are always there sitting around during practices - they are there anyway since they are responsible for setting up and putting away equipment. Our team was without a coach for quite some time and it really takes away from the season. Many parents are not able to consistently attend and not able to coach.
The facility is always clean with equipment in working order. Excellent parking! Staff extremely friendly and helpful!!
The ONLY thing I wish you would do is mirror the wall behind the weight equipment (as you have done with the other wall. I hate facing a blank wall while using the equipment!
Not extremely crowded
Modern equipment
Parking availability
Nice front desk area. Stesm room.
I go to the Lakewood Y for Zumba with Shirley Yeh. Shirley is arguably the best Zumba instructor in the Triangle. Her spirit, sense of fun and the pleasure in dance/exercise is wonderful. It’s a challenging workout that has helped my fitness greatly. Thank You!
SHAN! He is the best. I am very pleased with the return of attendants to the wellness floor. I wish they seemed more engaged however. Sometimes I observe them on mobile devices instead of proactively patrolling the space (eg recently prompted an individual to replenish a wipes dispenser). Facility and lockerroom always tidy! There is a true sense of community at the Lakewood YMCA.
