Member Testimonials
The friendly and educating staff that love their job and also educate my 3 kids on water safety .
I love the swimming pool and lessons offered. I only wish you offered more of a variety in the evenings like the current daytime programs in Lakewood. You need more personable instructors in the evening that treat everyone with respect and show people that he/she wants to be there. The evening classes are not the same quality or people. What happened to Leslie. She's a great instructor!
I have enjoyed the YMCA/YWCA since I was a child. Now my Grandchildren can.
Variety, good machines, yoga classes, pickle ball, spin classes, great for silver sneakers members.
The equipment is very modern and useful. COVID precautions are very good. The staff regularly cleans equipment, and I like that masks are required at all times, even during exercise.
Right now I am just using the pool. I very much appreciate the efforts you have made to keep me safe.
Hadn’t been to the Lakewood, OH YMCA in over a year due to a long recovery from extensive foot surgery and cautiousness about the virus. I did the Sunday 10:15 sculpt class with Mary. I was warmly greeted and welcomed by the young lady at the front desk. I felt the Y had implemented well thought through safety procedures. The class was terrific.Mary really cares about her class participants and provides clear instruction and various options on ways to perform the exercises to accommodate all levels of needs in her class. Thanks to all. Great job !
I love the fact that actually have had classes available during the virus. It is especially nice to see and now that you can take a water class and be able to use the locker room and shower to change and take a shower.,
Pickle ball
I most enjoy the fact that there is a wide range of machines and activities so I can mix up my routine. As I am recently retired, I am looking forward to joining some daytime classes when COVID is finally contained.

Ease of use
All of the classes. That you can go any night after work and catch a class.
Can’t do much with bad back. So pool and just shooting baskets!
Your water Aerobics instructor is excellent and knowledgeable
Been awhile since I have been able to work out on a regular basis. I recently had a heart attack & my cardiologist is sending me to a cardiovascular rehabilitation specialist & advises me not to return to the Y until the rehab has been completed. That date is pendiong as I am not yet enrolled.
Spacing.
All the folks working at the Y are so helpful. I have arthritis and use the pool. Prior to covid, I attended the arthritis class and it changed my life most positively. I have also benefited greatly from the “senior women on weights” class. The wholesome attitude is friendly for families, and I especially enjoy watching parents and children interact.
Wish there were a few more evening classes added to the schedule.

I only use selective exercise equipment as well as the hot tub
