location near me
Great workout environment - large fitness floor and free weight area - plenty of cardio equipment - friendly folks!
Good equipment and nice, inclusive atmosphere
Staff is always friendly and helpful
The Lakewood Y has a family feel. The staff are friendly and are knowledgeable about what they do. I have always gotten excellent assistance from the staff whenever I've needed help.
Steam and Dry Saunas are typically working and clean. Staff is pleasant and friendly. Wish someone would replace the barbell pad for squats and hip thrusts, the thicker pad is ripped and doesn't help. Need another set of lower weight dumbbells. 20,25,30 lbs.
Thank you for having so many barbells.
Lakewood community is the best. However, the hours are less than desirable.
Clean. Plenty of equipment. Short waits for a few machines, but nothing too bad.
Customer service good and friendly
Wonderful front desk staff!!! Very helpful and friendly. Great locker rooms and equipment. Very relaxed atmosphere.
We love the Y!!!!!! The best, most inclusive gym you can find.
Clean, friendly and easy to get to.
The staff at the front desk are amazing! So friendly, they know my name, they almost always put on good music (and they will happily change it when something boring comes on). The gym is always clean and there are constant updates (like new shower curtains that get cleaned and replaced almost daily).
The classes are great, and the staff make it fantastic.
Great facility and people
Convenience, equipment, sense of community, staff.
friendly staff, always clean and comfortable
I love the small footprint of our gym. Very friendly staff and clean and well maintained equipment.
The facility is conveniently located, a nice variety of equipment, community feel and very friendly helpful staff.
Open space with good workout machines. I especially like the free lockers.
I like the yoga class on Friday taught by Betsi. When I was there 2 days ago only 1 seated bike machine was working correctly. The other 2 couldn’t provide any tension, so you would just free spin.
It has everything I need. It’s not too big or too small and the staff is always friendly and accommodating.
Friendly staff, clean facilities, not too busy.
The lakewood Y is always clean. Well stocked. Offers a variety of activities, and staff is very friendly
Group classes
I feel like I belong to a real community at Lakewood YMCA. From my very first class, the front desk, other members and instructor greeted me with open arms and wanted me to come back. It’s nice to be remembered and appreciated when entering a space of health and wellness.
The only reason I come to the Lakewood Y is for Nancy Sawaya's class. She has created a real community in her class, and I will follow her wherever she goes.
I really like the Cadio and Step classes giving by Nancy Sawaya.
Feels like a community space, close to a lot in the neighborhood

In the main exercise room, I like the wide variety of cardio equipment such as elliptical and rowing machines, as well as the free weights and 45-degree leg press. I appreciate that music is played, which creates a fun atmosphere where everyone isn't using ear buds. It's great to have access to the group fitness room to do PT exercises using resistance bands and slider discs, and to have space to do stretches. The sauna and steam room are awesome!
