Member Testimonials

This is a great facility and the aquatic program is outstanding.

Good staff.

I like how clean the facilities and weight room is.

I love Whitaker Y. The pool water has been cold for the last 2 weeks. Nobody wants to report it because nothing will be done.

Whitaker Gym in Hamburg, Lexington, KY has an amazing selection of classes and times that will fit everyone's busy schedules. The staff is knowledgeable, warm and helpful in all ways--always willing to answer questions and provide support. I appreciate how clean, well-lit, and well-staffed the facility is, and I've been a fan of Erica Hill's Functional Fitness class for two years now and have made a number of workout friends. Great facility and staff!

Whether you are into classes, water or weight training -- Whitaker YMCA has it! Not to mention the basketball/pickleball courts.

Update: The weight training floor has been updated with new equipment. "Easier" to use equipment includes rep counters and timers, including time between sets. From a subjective view, the equipment appears sleeker, there are more machines and the floor has been slightly redesigned to move equipment for upper and lower body exercises closer together. All this means a more organized circuit and less time waiting on machines to free up.

I love the amenities at Whitaker YMCA and plenty of parking. Everyone is so friendly there

Facility

Pool, wellness center, scheduled classes

I really appreciate the people who work there. As soon as you enter the building and while
getting your card scanned there is always a "hello" and a "how are you" from the people like
Mary and Ron and Kristen. And then when you enter the weight room, Jeff is always
available to help with explanation how to use the machines (especially the new ones)
and always has a smile and greeting for you.

So for me it is the people that I like about the Y....you can have the best machines, the
best pools, and clean restrooms (which the Y Whitaker has) but if you have to be
subjected to grumpy people, it would not be a good place to go to...

So thank you for a wonderful Y!!

Indoor pool for the kid, steam room, sauna, child care

I mainly play Pickleball and use the aquatic center at the Y. The facility is always clean. We have a great group for Pickleball, usually getting 25-30 players. We need more courts and extended time. Often we have to give up Pickleball courts to allow 3 or 4 people to use the gym to play basketball.

friendly environment and clean gym

Independence

I myself do not participate in your organized activities however, I visit the why and see that many people enjoy all types of activities such as exercise in the pool, basketball leagues for children, personal trainers, etc.

Yoga, pool, weights

My girls ask if we can go to the Y every day!! They always want to swim!!

N-a

I routinely see kids in the women’s dressing room and last week I saw an Indian man (had a turban on) in the women’s dressing room with a female child. Would love to see employees in there more often to remind people of who is allowed in each dressing room.

Nice Employees convenient an clean !

Love the new equipment upstairs!

Great facility.
Professional and family friendly atmosphere.

I really enjoy what the YMCA has to offer but there are a couple of concerns: There are absolutely too many young kids running in and out of the weight area. And teens still not wearing proper shoes on their feet.

Make the pool bigger for diving boards

I love the classes. I love the instructors.. My favorite is Kettlebell with Kim, she is fantastic!!!!!!!

It offers a great environment and is easily accessible! I have benefited greatly.

You try and include every member in the family.

SSYoga. Dorothy is the best!

Very nice staff

That you not only have programs for adult but children as well. I’m so thankful for the child care area while I work out.
