Great teachers and classes.
Lots of options for all ages/abilities
The new instructor is awesome!
The new swim instructor is amazing!
There is a very wide selection of programs which i enjoy. I will say the Sauna is getting nasty. The boards need replaced are get very slimy due to people swimming and going to the sauna. Some will do it multiple times. The boards are now starting to rot and will eventually break on someone. It's the boards on the top.
I mainly use the pool for lap swimming, and I have noticed in the past month or so that the pool is much cleaner, however, it usually is clean. Seems the pool floor has no sediment around the edges as much as has been the case. And the water is clear. The water temperature is perfect, a little colder which is better for water activities.
Not happy about the change in the website for Lakewood. Not as user friendly and the pool schedule is nearly impossible to find.
I am considering working with a personal trainer for strength training.
You have very welcoming staff members at the reception desk. I use the hot tub for therapy and it always looks cared for with clear water. The lifeguards are also responsive to any questions. I'll miss visiting there since the downtown YMCA has now repaired their hot tub. Meanwhile, I'll still consider visiting during weekends when I have time to drive to your facility.
I am in the silver sneakers program. It is a free program for seniors. To help us keep up our health. The are many programs to choose from. when I first started. I got 2 days with a personal trainer. First we went through my health issues. There are a lot. He was able to work out a program that was safe for me. It was wonderful. I physically felt better. I mentally felt better. Until a medical condition cut me down again. I am at a safe spot now. Unfortunately I lost all that I had gained. So I going to start over. But I do know what I can accomplish. The is always someone there who can help when you start new things. The people I have meet there are also wonderful.

Silver sneakers
I have not participated in any programs or activities.
As an 'over 65' person with insurance that includes 'silver sneakers' coverage, I was thrilled to find that classes at my local Lakewood Y are essentially no cost. I've tried quite a few classes, and have focused on several that are the right level for me (the sweet spot for me being mid-way between 'chair yoga' and 'power yoga'). And even better, I can walk to the Y! My husband is also really happy with the Y, and has been going to the Tai Chi classes since last winter. Thank you for the huge variety of classes you offer!!
Vicki Yannie, and Staff are Delightful, Knowledgeable, and Supportive. Likewise, Staff throughout the Facility.
Trainer, Will Rembert is an Inspiring, Patient, Pro!
Variety and inclusiveness.
I enjoy water aerobics…wonderful for aging joints!
