Member Testimonials
I am a swimmer, the pool is excellent.
The classes and instructors.
I like the variety of programs and group fitness classes. The group fitness instructors are the best I’ve ever seen.
I would like to see more young kids classes like kinderdance and beginning tumbling.
Early classes and great instructors
Love the classes!!
I’ve enjoyed all the group fitness classes I’ve attended! Love the instructors-Nicole, Amanda, Val.
Nice variety of classes….
Very excited about playing pickleball- tried it this week! Environment is nice & clean, staff is very friendly & a great central location in Lakewood Ranch.
Nice, clean facility with great equipment and programming. Also close to home. I really like the added Sunday hours.
Like is LOVE. Variety of programs, skilled instructors, pleasing surroundings, abundance of equipment, facility is conducive to meet every age and stage, well qualified professional employees, feels like family‼️
The classes keep me motivated and the kid zone allows me to go almost anytime I like. Also, my kids are finally old enough to enjoy classes and camps.
I like your programs, I wish you would have TRX classes on week nights or Friday morning. That would be nice.
Great variety for all levels in exercise opportunities. Group or individual. Love the pool exercise, yoga, exercise machines & if I want to up my game I can choose from many other group exercise programs.
Excellent value for my money and time at LWR & West Bradenton YMCAs.
Love the variety of programs and family atmosphere for kids. I think the employees here act like they want to be here genuinely, verses normal gyms where as member I feel like I bother the associates when I inquire about something.
Fun classes. Great variety
Les Mills!!!!
I love the group activities like yoga and body flow.
It’s very nice to be in a group of all different ages.
The leaders are organized and on time and very helpful with the activities
I love the Y. they do a great job keeping the place clean. everybody at front desk is really helpful. The only thing is the parking lot needs to be fixed/. so many pot holes. they are becoming dangerous
Everything. Great operation. Friendly staff, and lots of classes. Weight room and machines are very good and ample aerobic machines. I love it.
The variety and the effort to make the Y a destination.
I just use the fitness center but think the Y has a nice variety for all ages!!
I love the classes at the LWR YMCA. They are a wonderful way to start the day.
Group class ( lesmills)
Les Mills programs are the best and the instructors are top notch
I use only cycling - my kids stopped going to the Y. It's a great family environment, not crowded, clean, and everybody is nice. Good weights and classes I am interested in. Nice atmosphere overall. When my kids go off to college I'm sure I will continue to use the Y.
Enjoyed the kids sports when our kids were younger.
Weekly themes, daily swimming, pizza and vending machine Fridays are a big hit!
My girls have really enjoyed camp! They love the arts and craft time and the pool time! They also liked the exercise group class too. And the field trips are extra fun for them along with the water slide day:) They absolutely love going!
Field Trips and Swimming
My daughter has absolutely loved the camp for the past 2 years. There is always something for her to do, she’s made friends and loves to swim everyday. She looks forward to going everyday and always has a blast. We will definitely be back.

Yoga, cycling and body pump however, I wish there were more of these classes. They get very crowded.
