Member Testimonials

Outstanding group fitness classes. All y staff excellent. Everyone tries to make the y experience fantastic

Everything, they have it all for getting one healthy and happy!

I joined the Whitaker YMCA because of their water aerobics classes and I just love the instructors for their Deep water aerobics, and regular water aerobics. Also I like how clean you keep your facility especially the locker rooms! Keep up the good work!

Water aerobic classes are wonderful

The equipment, employees, nstructors, and Christian friends that I have met from the Y

Varied, open to all

The facility is managed by a fantastic team, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. The members create a positive atmosphere, making it an enjoyable place to be with a strong sense of community.

My husband and I brought our infant daughter to play in the pool. She had the best time with smiles all around! We loved getting her in the water and how nice and shallow it was. My husband can’t swim, so it was perfect for him too. We also loved the family hallway with the family bathrooms. It allowed us to get ready afterward together which was perfect because I got to get ready and my husband held the baby and then he got ready and I held the baby. And there was a changing table in the same bathroom! I’ve never been in a facility so far as a new mom that is so convenient. This location is a bit of a drive for us, but we come to it for that reason.

We very much enjoy using the Y

The wellness center is spread out

The space is great so you don’t bump into anybody else, it’s very clean , employees are friendly

Great instructors …

Like getting on the exercise bike and the treadmill and I like to go swimming and get in the hot tub

One would have to visit our local Whitaker YMCA at Hamburg in Lexington to appreciate how clean; well equipped with an abundance of exercise equipment and programs for all ages; well managed; and how talented and unique its staff is beginning with Director Dana Ensley and including such people as Amber, Mikki, Will, Mary, Laura, Ron, Tom, Tabitha, and Missy.

The EGYM Program which was added about a year ago, is literally in a class by itself and includes eleven pieces of exercise equipment all assembled in one place, all of which are automatic in the sense that they record and update your data, and as appropriate, they update the amount of weight one works with on each of the 11 machines. Some company must have invested multiplied millions of dollars in the research and development of these sophisticated machines.

They YMCA of central KY hosts a great variety of programs and activities - for every age group, for every fitness level and at an affordable cost.

The options for scheduling swim classes. The classes teach the students something new every week.

Swimming area is great

Great variety for all ages & interest levels.

Close to where I live.

Fun and easy, good workout for the money.

Aquatics facilities are outstanding, I also like the inside walking track with hand weights and the stationary bikes overlooking the pool area!

Thank you for making us feel so welcome as we used our Medicare Advantage plan, and for letting us bring our grandsons when they come to visit us!

It is a good place to work out and meet people. And the staff is friendly.

Friendly, easy access, the programs /activities times are flexible. I love how the weight machines set up based on body weight and strength to optimize the workout experience. Craig is the best; he is patience, kind, encouraging and a joy to be around. his explanation of the weight machine was very clear and simple. I will return! Thank you!

So many activities, programs and equipment offering a variety.

We love the pool because of the slide. The track is wider than most tracks which is really nice. I like that there are plenty of family restrooms/changing rooms. We have a 9 year old grandson and I’m still not comfortable letting him go into the men’s restroom alone. But he’s too old to go into the women’s restroom, so family ones are great!

I love the group classes, very easy to follow and fun.
