I like the classes.
The Friday active adult class needs to be resumed. Line dancing is not full body exercise.
Need more chair yoga for seniors
I like that the machines are new and in great condition. Some of the benches could use new leather covering/fabric but other than that I am happy with the offerings by the Lakewood Ranch YMCA. I just began working out with Jenna Trumpler and she is a very good trainer.
I mostly use the gym and the personal trainer services
I like the gym. It’s well staffed with good equipment and machines. Need to update the benches but otherwise, a very nice place. I also like the cariety of people working out-young, older, etc.
Exercise facility with cardio and weight-resistance equipment and outdoor swimming pool
Love the renovations of the fitness center/gym area. Great variety of classes. The biggest appeal is the Kid Zone!
A few things though...
*When are you bringing back Sunday hours at the Kid Zone? We were told they eliminated Sunday only for summer because of camp...but the Kid Zone has yet to reopen on Sundays. It's now limiting my opportunities (as a mom) to come to the gym.
*The locker rooms (at least female) - many young people, I believe it is athletes from the local high school, leave their belongings all over the floor/benches. It can be a bit difficult to work around them while I'm trying to change into my gym attire, and of course I don't want to touch/move their things. Could someone maybe hang up a sign encouraging everyone to use a locker instead of leaving their backpacks out?
*The toilets have issues with flushing, which I'm sure you're aware of. However, can we possibly put signs inside the stall doors asking users to flush twice or to be sure they have flushed away waste? This way, we reduce the chance of people walking into stalls with unflushed toilets.
Thank you!!!
I like the group fitness classes, however some of them fill up very quickly!
Hope as senior program instructor
Large number of people on my demographic participate
Coffee and gathering space in atrium
I DO NOT like the ancient bathrooms and the awful gym floor/ lighting and the lack of space for large classes. The air systems are also awful.
You need a capital campaign to do a knock down: rebuild on the property.
The variety of classes offered, that is part of the membership, the POOL is my favorite. An abundant amount of equipment, free weights, machine weights. Good amount of stationary bikes, nice spacious stretching area, and I Love that you have more than 1 or 2 rowing machines-what a bonus. Ladies bathroom is well maintained and the sauna is like a therapy session. Thank you for keeping it all so clean. If I could add anything it would be large floor standing fans stationed around the open workout area. I appreciate the availability of the sanitizing wipes all around the gym-very accessible. Very nice work to the entire staff for making it welcoming and clean place to workout
Love Body Pump. Tuesday evening offering of it would be great
Exercise programs
Great variety of classes offered and awesome teachers!!’
The Lakewood Ranch YMCA is a wonderful facility with equipment and programs for all age groups. The equipment is kept in excellent condition and there is always someone in the gym or at the reception/member desk to help with questions or needs.
The equipment is wonderful.
Personal training, pool, group classes
Best fitness instructor
Aqua programs and group fitness
I take aqua classes every day offered then take indoor group classes
Senior spin TRX circuit training and the 11:30 am daily class
The variety
Les Mills classes and the instructors are top notch. Heard rumors that the new group fitness director doesn’t like Les Mills and may want to get rid of those classes. I’m afraid many members, including myself, would leave if that happens.
I have reached out to the the assistant director at the Lakewood Ranch YMCA on three occasions. I have not received a response.

Thank you.
I don’t use them. I just use the gym equipment. It’s sufficient but a couple more adjustable benches by the dumbbells would be nice.
Everything is awesome
Great variety of adult group classes and excellent instructors.
