The best group fitness instructors and great classes.
I have been away from the gym and workouts since COVID. I knew I needed to get back to being healthy but I am not diligent enough to work out on my own. I read an article about a woman who loved group exercise. It made me realize that I begin my health journey with group exercise classes and that I may just need that again. I originally belonged to the Y's of Sarasota, pre-COVID but now live in Parrish. I looked the LWR schedule and all I found were Les Mills classes. They were never "my thing" while at Sarasota. I felt they pushed out the original classes I had always loved. But I knew I needed a schedule to get me back on track so I took my first Body Pump class with Kelly G and loved it. Then I tried the Sprint classes and felt amazing after I did them. I joined LWR just over a month ago and I now hate missing these Les Mills classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Because I did not have to work on Memorial Day, I was able to take a Body Combat class and absolutely loved it! I forgot how much I loved kick boxing. I wish there were more on the schedule.
great exercise equipment and trainers.
Nice selection of equipment
The variety of them.
There is no preregistration for the classes I like.
Love the Les mills classes
All of it !Is family and community oriented
I enjoy the welcoming nature. I also enjoy swimming at the ymca. There are a few things that concern me.
1. I like to attend church on Sunday. If I do that, I am not able to swim earlier because of church commitments, and I can not make it back in time after church to get to the ymca to swim at the Lakewood Ranch facility before the pool closes at 1;30. Could you please consider extending your Sunday hours by an hour, and close the pool at 2:30 or 3:00?
2. The dressing rooms need to be checked more often and showers cleaned several times through the day.
3. Some of the lockers lock, but will not unlock. I have had to go out to get the key twice recently.

Individualized service, clean facility and accommodating staff!
Love body pump and the various body pump instructors
Everything!
I only swim. Like that the facility is clean as is the pool. Only complaint I would have is that the pool exercise groups sometimes use 2 swim lanes along with the main pool. I feel they should stay in main pool area and not use lanes when there are people waiting to use the lap pool lanes. Obviously no problem when not busy but annoying when busy. Not a big deal but can be annoying to have to wait
I like the body pump, yoga classes, and large gym.
Varying times of classes. Pleasant people who are senior friendly.
