Member Testimonials
EGYM is great!
Our local Whitaker Family YMCA at Hamburg in Lexington, Ky. is beautiful, well equipped, well managed, staffed, maintained and has an enormous array of activities and services commensurate with the needs of our community. My wife and I are 79 years old and have been members of this Y since it opened 9 years ago. Our favorite activities have been swimming exercise classes, EGYM; and appreciate the staff's willingness to work with us in a way that does not break the bank when visited by our out of town three grown children and nine grandchildren so that they can enjoy basketball, swimming, and the various exercise machines at our Y. Who could ask for more?
The Whittaker Y is a full service gym, with the varying classes, walking track, swimming pool with lap lanes and water classes, and the Egym machines. I love being able to take the water aerobics classes and ha e lanes to do free laps. However, I will really miss the hybrid swim class on Monday at 10 AM. And I really love the Egym, I can do the circuit and know that I am hitting all the major muscle groups in a concentrated session, and then pick up a aerobic or yoga class. The staff is so friendly and helpful.
Great classes and super STAFF!
Everything!
Great variety for all ages.
I do not participate in the programs or activities, just enjoy the gym area. The gym is always clean and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming!
Clean, friendly & helpful staff and good exercise equipment and walking tracks.
Everyone seems very satisfied with the program offerings and impressed with all the activities available. There is something for everyone.
Diversity of exercise equipment and the numbers of the equipment. The layout of the exercise room and accessiblity of the walking track
It is a place where you can meet new friends. And the staff is very friendly and the place is clean. There is many machines to work with and they are new.
La disponibilidad de equipos mecánico, electrónico y humano. Muy especial.
EGym and swimming
Very pleased with YMCA. Very clean attendants are friendly. Only issue is when using machines customers like to sit at a machine for a long time and use their cell phone. Keeps others from using the machine
It’s a beautiful facility that offers almost everything you could hope to have in a gym.
The environment, the staff and the activities are all wonderful. I only wish I lived closer and could walk to the Y.
I love the walking track at Whitaker as well as the workout gear. I look forward to training on the egym.

Pool splash park
Lots of options! Especially EGYM and chair yoga.
Great to come and have all the machines and the pool. This Y is the best I have seen and I recommend it to friends. I drive from Mt Sterling two afternoons a week.
Love the enthusiasm of the instructors. Good variety of classes. Good mix of water fitness classes from beginner and up. And the water classes are offered 6 days a week.
I love the in person programs - workouts.
The programs online are very educational and I love the exercises.
Above all I love the Staff! They are very engaged with members
when necessary. They give instruction on how to use the workout
equipment. They are very friendly and professional.
I like that the sauna, the steam room and the whirlpool work well.
Pilates, pool

The variety of classes offered. Particularly for older adults. Problem is with setting up classes when the older adults have to lift and set up chairs. That is a severe liability if anyone gets hurt.
