Member Testimonials
What I love most about the programs and activities at the Lakewood Ranch YMCA is how they truly bring our community together. There’s something for every age and interest—whether it’s youth sports, group fitness classes, swim lessons, or family events. The environment is always welcoming, supportive, and focused on growth—not just physically, but mentally and socially as well. It’s more than just a gym; it’s a place where relationships are built, confidence is developed, and families thrive together.

I LOVE the senior classes offered at 11:30 am! Every instructor is phenomenal.
Other than the one class I attend twice a week - Water in Motion with Jackie C, I have not really made any use of the facility. However, the one class I do take I enjoy thoroughly and would greatly miss it if I weren’t able to attend.
It is possible, as time goes on, that I will use the Y more extensively.
Great people, very friendly and helpful

Variety and times
And instructors!
I'm relatively new in gyms -- my second one -- and I'm doing a little for health with no intentions of taking on "The Arnold." I like the idea that you're generous with the sanitary wipes, it should decrease the spread of diseases. Recently you discontinued supplying the cone-shaped water cups, maybe replacing the fountains where cups aren't needed.
Maybe because I'm relatively new in gyms, I find the new equipment complicated and requires time to learn.
I love the classes offered and the times available. All of the new weight machines are great too!
We love the Lakewood Ranch YMCA. Everyone is so friendly and helpful.

I love all tge classes, especially barre.
The instructors and staff are great.
The equipment is fantastic, and the facility is spacious and generally well-maintained.
I witsh you would clean the floors in the men's locker room. There is always dirt on the floor near the lockers.
Professional, friendly staff combined with a wonderful variety of age related programs.
What I most enjoy is exercising and swimming
Something to do for all members and ages of our family. Appreciate allowing high school age students to workout. Health and fitness is so important at this age and a lot of other facilities don’t allow teens without a parent. With the school being next door it’s great they can make fitness a part of their daily routine walking over and working out.
Like all the new machines that have been added where I do most of my work out. Only issue is some people sit on machines reading their phone message and are not working out!
I like the senior active classes.
The water classes are great. Would love to have a deep water class. And we need more instructors.
