Member Testimonials
I have only used an aquatic class so far. I like it very much.
All the different style/types of classes available. There is something for anyone!
Variety and access.
Everything
Great staff, clean facility, great programs-would like to see more private swim lessons for kids!
Makes me feel good about myself. Lifeguards are friendly.
The YMCA is a great value. I don’t take many classes. I have only 3 requests:
1) open earlier Sunday mornings, like 7am
2) it would be nice if the “stuff” on the north wall of the stretching room were removed (stereo, elliptical machine) as that room gets crowded
3) replace the pads on the weight equipment that are cracked
I like working out there.
Early morning classes are great. Instructors are very good:
The variety, the great instructors and being able to make some friends in the group classes.

The pool rocks

I like my instructors and fellow class mates - also the people at the front desk and the VGS cleaning staff.
I like the group excercise class options. Please continue these and the large variety of offerings.
Zumba classes on Wednesday
I really like the Silver Sneakers Program.

I like the facility. The staff is friendly. They do a good job of trying to keep the building clean in spite of the large number of people using it. I like seeing so many people there all doing hteir own thing but all together as a community
I love the pool, I love the weight room, and the treadmills. I would really like to see a dedicated area for deadlifting (perhaps with some giant pillows in front and behind for people who will inevitably pass out). I really wish there were a way to get some clean towels though. Perhaps for a surcharge or something.
Classes for all different interests and levels as well as child watch so we can work our together.
Wide variety of classes and various times, Huge pool and a lot of available free swim times throughout the week. Tons of machines, parking, and space for workouts inside in various rooms / areas of the gym. Child care center is large also.
It sounds ridiculous but some of the elliptical machines make creaking sounds and it makes me feel self-conscious and don’t want to use the equipment and annoy all of the other exercisers.
The instructors in the TRX Class are knowledgeable and motivating.
The basketball program is very good.
Instructors are excellent.
Weekly to daily emails about class times and community events.

Lakewood YMCA has all of the up to date excercise equipment and I enjoy swimming.
