I like the nice spacious gym. I just wish hours were extended to 10 p.m., as I believe had been the plan before the pandemic.
As a homeschool mom, I like that there is open gym and open swim time. I also like that there is childcare available so I can work out and my kids are taken care of. I like that there are sports clubs offered as well.
Swimming program is great and pathways team is amazing!
I enjoy the silver sneakers program.
I try to participate M-W-F. Good staff!

I have been going to your facility since 2008. I have enjoyed your youth sports programs and your child watch facility very much. The vast majority of the staff has been very pleasant. I primarily use your weight facility and overall think it is very versatile, clean and well maintained. However, there are a few things I would like to comment on regarding my own personal needs. 1. I have hardly ever seen anyone using the new red punch pad station and since space is tight there are other machines that I would prefer fill that space. 2. I miss the old oblique side twist machine you took out over a year ago. It was very well designed and there is currently nothing there that works those muscles. 3. I preferred the old seated row machine that you removed as well. That machine had a pad that pressed against your chest which isolated your upper back muscles. The newer row machine with the thick rubber cables is ok but causes you to use a lot of lower back which can be a lot of stress for those with lower back pain. 4. A seated shoulder press machine is missing from your main muscle building machines. 5. Some of your newer machines are designed well while others are lacking flexibility such as the bicep curl machine which I find very painful to use as it has a fixed arm length which seems fitted for shorter arms. 6. I wish you stayed open until 7 or 8 on weekends. 7. Machine padding sometimes goes too long before replacement with cracks that can cause pain (like on the seated leg curl machine). Again, all in all, I am very happy with your facility and keep up the good work!

I love the swim lessons and the daycare
Weights sauna whirlpool
I use the pool and like the available hours and friendly staff. One small request - please replace the shower benches in the Women’s locker room. Some of us need them because of physical limitations and there aren’t enough after classes.
Love the pool. The arthritis exercise group is wonderful for my 2 bad knees. Highly recommend it.
Swim with Miss D
So many varied programs, Especially for seniors.
I do like about your programs of the Silver Sneakers or silver and fit ,silver splash etc . as well as the open lanes in the pool to do Aquasize, when the jacuzzi and Sauns are operating correctly that is another thing I enjoy.

Everyone there is help and nice and welcoming to my family
I am not the best dancer but Suzy made it so fun and could care less if you don't get it.
I felt very comfortable and look forward to her classes. I am 61 years old trying new things, thank you.
Friendly helpful atmosphere
Would like to have sauna in lakewood working consistently and whirlpool at higher temp.
everything especially an intelligent and friendly staff
It's an excellent facility that is well maintained and clean. Our family loves pathways in this location; huge kudos and thanks to the ladies working there!
It’s nice to see YMCA in Lakewood has added body pump classes which I’m truly enjoying. After taking pure strength/body sculpt classes with the same instructor who never changed the routine, I almost canceled my membership. I’m truly enjoying the dance/Zumba classes, body pump, and rebound class on Sunday. I’m a member for life with the Y. 😊
The great facilities and the nice staff
The staff is tremendous. Rachel (pool) and Jack and Orlando (desk) are always bright spots.
