I love to walk and enjoying the egym

It’s like a family! Everyone is friendly

I appreciate the variety of classes offered and the quality of the staff. Everyone at the Whitaker Family YMCA is welcoming and friendly, both staff and members, which makes it a great environment.

Many programs- Family and senior centered, Neighborhood feel. Thank you!

I like the gym, it's clean, good equipment. I particularly like the E-Gym system. I wish more Y facilities in Lexington had the E-gym.

Great people, excellent facilities and wonderful programs make the Y the place to be.

Great variety at a fairly reasonable price. It would be great to continue to offer activities and programs around 4pm for younger kids - anything after 5:30/6pm really starts to impact bedtime. Also, opening the pool and kid slide earlier on Saturday would be great - not opening until 10am...most of us parents of littles have already had a full day by then!

This Y is an amazing place. I first went in 2020, but soon had to move in 2022... I actually met a good friend at the end of 2020, who I've worked out with to this day. We went to different gyms, but it never felt the same as the Y. The Whitaker Y is beyond clean, has great equipment, and the staff is beyond friendly. Even more so than that, since I have become a part of the staff, my favorite part of my job is being able to help people. I really enjoy putting smiles on people's faces, especially if they had a bad day at work, giving people good workout advice, or the simple things like helping re-rack someone's plates. I think more so than anything, the best part of this Y is the community and how it feels like a big family

Great activities & staff. Everyone is helpful & friendly.

Aquatics

Hot tub is great

The programs and activities are great The people who work at the YMCA are wonderful

Everything and everyone - a very welcoming environment .

Great community and coaches for youth sports. Pool is family friendly.

Water fitness classes and the instructor on Saturday

Some instructors are fantastic. I follow them.

The Egym is a great way to workout without having to adjust equipment I also enjoy the AOA activities and classes.

Great facility - love the E Gym.

I like the walking/running track. I like the opportunity of the pool, sauna, and the steam room. The room with the weights and such is great.

There are wonderful classes with a strong sense of community. People are quick to embrace you. Colleen is the best! She is such a wonderful teacher and so motivating. It’s the best part of the day.

We just need more weights in the group fitness room! And the body pump bars would be nice!!

I like the easy access to all of the equipment and how it is kept very clean and maintained

Caters to senior citizens
Staff is very helpful
Class instructors are fun, friendly & understanding of older persons limitations & teach modifications for individuals

There's something for all ages. I also really like that the upcoming Sweethearts' Dance is advertised as a program for a child and a loving adult. As an aunt who has custody of her niece, I truly appreciate that this event welcomes all kinds of families. So many programs like this are "daddy-daughter" dances or "mother-daughter" dances. I feel seen when the Y designs programs to include families providing kinship care.

Friendly and helpful staff and great amenities
and programs!
