I attend the water arthritis class three times weekly. The class has helped me gain so much strength after spinal surgery 9 months ago. Gain strength without causing or increasing pain as my spinal cord is damaged.
Recently the dynamics of the class has changed dramatically for the worse. It has been decided a swim lane must be open at all times, despite the fact that for years the pool was dedicated only to the class for an hour three times a week. I have experienced increased pain instead of gaining strength due to the change as I cannot always lean on the pool wall during the class. The classes were attracting members due to the class Instructor: Stephanie and the way she was able to lead and instruct. Without the full deeper water pool availability and wall space the class has changed.
I must stop attending the class instead of bringing in more class attendees. I would very much prefer to continue increasing my strength, health and well being instead of stopping classes.
I feel slighted because of my age and disability.

Plenty of programs for everyone. And equipment to use and work out on. I really wish some people would use a machine for their workouts and then move on instead of sitting at while playing with their phones
Teachers are great, schedules are great, facility is beautiful
The aqua class was nice however it was too many kids in pool to get the full effect of the experience I enjoyed the HydroMassage chair the most
My son really enjoyed this camp! He enjoyed the games in the gym and playing with other kids. He also liked when the counselors joined in! Suggestions for the future- swim time daily for kids who would enjoy that as an option. Also playing outside early and/or later in the day as an option for sun-smart timing. Also appreciate that there is indoor play available when the weather is too hot or when there are air quality alerts. I do appreciate that the YMCA pays attention to weather and any air quality concerns to ensure camper safety.
Swimming lessons are amazing especially with Elliot as an instructor.
even though I don’t go as often as I might, I appreciate classes that are “doable’ for a range of people that are 55+ years of age.
It's a very nice facility and community. The stair climbers are in constant demand and repair... 3 machines might be better, and also rearranged so that athlete's butts aren't facing the workout machines. It makes it a slightly uncomfortable experience for our female (and possibly male) athletes.
Variety of classes
THE AQUATIC EXERCISE CLASSES AND THE SAUNA AND HOT TUB AND THE MASSAGE BEDS THE WHOLE STAFF IS AWESOME PLEASANT RESPECTFUL PATIENT AND KIND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE LAKEWOOD YMCA💖😊💖😊
Trainer Will, updated equipment, massage chairs
The friendliness of the people-especially Will, personal trainer. He’s the best!
I love your two water aerobic classes on Mondays and Fridays – however it is terrible that one of the lap lanes is now a lap lane during our class and no one is in the lap lane. I take a headcount every time I am there and submit it in the suggestion box
The equipment and the instructors. I like that the new app tells you if there's a sub as I have my favorite instructors.
Please keep the lights on during spin classes!
Love the group exercise classes. Great selection, variety and instructors. Staff and instructors are friendly and welcoming
Your Silver Sneakers group exercise classes pretty much meet my needs perfectly. It’s the right amount of effort that I feel I’m getting enough exercise without overdoing it.
Body pump is great, I really enjoy this program
Good pool hours, nice yoga program, great opportunities for trips and socialization

Silver Sneakers classes
I love the classes and the atmosphere. The teachers seem to care about the students
Laura is an outstanding instructor. I truly enjoy her Zumba dance class. I’m thrilled that she has added a Cardio Dance class on Wednesdays. I encouraged a few friends to attend her class, and they absolutely love the class. Laura brings an unmatched energy and enthusiasm in class and makes everyone who attends her class feel they are welcome,
Cardio classes
The different activities available for my son. When my son comes home from camp he ALWAYS take a nap. He is too busy for a traditional camp. This camp is perfect for him because he can runnnnnnnn all day.
Varied classes throughout the day!
