Member Testimonials
love the programs at the Y!
I love the Zumba instructors--they bring great energy and enthusiasm to their classes!
I just wish the Y offered a drop-in option for classes. Because it doesn't, I cancel my membership every spring and summer--otherwise, I'd still take my Zumba classes!
variety of offerings, great instructors
swimming pool
THE POOL!
It is clean.
Well run...organized.
People are friendly AND helpful.
But I sure wish they'd have a running/walking track
I typically come to play basketball at the gym with my friends. If the gym is kept clean and tidy, I'm happy. Your 2nd floor is also amazingly big with enough equipment to go around. Thanks for being open for us. Please continue to promote cleanliness in your facilities.
Also the parking lot is perfect. Unfortunately, the other Y is not maintaining theirs it seems.
I don't know about activities or programs
Various classes for everyone. Great instructors.
Senior group classes. Especially yogs
I love the pool at this Y and it has one of the best hot tubs around. The staff is very welcoming and the place is very clean.
Lap swimming organization and professional friendly staff (front desk and lifeguards)
I have been coming to the Lakewood YMCA for 30+ years as a single person and then as a married one.
I know COVID has changed the Y since it reopened, but there needs to be more classes offered in the evenings, we are SO limited.
One minor thing, please mop the floor in the AP room, there is dirt and dust bunnies everywhere.
As a patron of the Y, I try and do what is asked of me as far as cleaning all the equipment used and I know that is for our safety.
Thanks for listening.
My wife loves the classes offered Megan’s is number one She can’t miss her class ! I do cardio & weights in the. Main room 1 to 2 hours everyday m thru f.
Pathways and open basketball!
Luv your seniors classes in the mornings.....and I do like how clean the Lakewood "Y" is....and I especially LUV the noon spin class. perfect time and 30 minutes is perfect amount of time
The exercise classes are excellent, the instructors are excellent and very knowledgeable. The Y is very clean and following rules for Covid.
I enjoy the pool, swimming laps. I used to use the workout room and take exercise classes. But haven't been upstairs since COVID.
Dance classes
As a senior citizen and Silver Sneakers member, I appreciate the early-morning hours that the Y offers for those who prefer limited interaction with others during these challenging times. I also appreciate all of the steps that management and staff have taken to keep us all as safe and protected as possible.
I like instructors who keep you interested in the classes and challenged by the type of exercises.
The pool!
I'm just a fitness center user so the new equipment is nice though I miss the Precor stretch machine. When my kids were younger 15 years ago I was in Adventure Guides with the summer and winter weekends at camps. They are grown now. I may use the massage therapy services on the first floor.
Nice new equipment and plenty of social distancing.
Variety and effort to offer water exercise during this challenging year.
M.s.swim
I love the workout equipment and variety of equipment available. I like the family swim times and that on weekends there's more swim times. I just wish there was more for my daughter, who is 7, to do when we go. She likes to climb the rock wall & and swim but if we miss swimming, she can't do too much while the rest of us workout. It's the only reason we haven't come in more. Can't wait for dodgeball to start again & we are hoping to sign our son up for the Jr. Cavs basketball as well! We still love the YMCA so much & we are glad we joined!
The convenience
I only use selective exercise equipment as well as the hot tub

I like the Tuesday Silver Sneakers class run by Cindy. Excellent workout.
