Member Testimonials
the gym
The instructors and Staff are AWESOME!! Hat's off to the YMCA!!! :-)
For the most part the machines are all in order and are kept very clean. Everything is sanitized. The people who work at the Y are all friendly and helpful.
I havent really used any programs. I do like that they're available (outside of the pandemic) and I like having the Kids Zone
🧘♀️Yoga classes are great and so are the instructors.
Everything! Great classes and teachers
So far only use the weight room
Variety and friendly staff
Class availability and instructors
Just that you are offering programs and activities. I love my Y
Safe & fun
Convenient, great staff, everyone works hard on safety and cleanliness. Would like more choices in water aerobics classes but understand limits right now. One gripe...will someone fix the clunky sign up system for water classes? It's a mad free for all every Friday at 1145, and if one gets on just a few minutes late, there is almost nothing left. For some of us who can do little or no weight bearing exercise, it is extremely frustrating to be able to exercise only 1-2 times a week if that. Thank you.
Sense of community
Instructors well motivated to help improve our mobility. Friendly and helpful.
Good programs for seniors, good for balance and styrength.
I love the variety of classes and the heated pool. Instructors are wonderful. Each one has their own style and each water aerobics class is different which keeps exercising fun.
The only feedback I would provide for improvement is the redundancy for signing up for water aerobic classes. If I’m scheduling each class and canceling each class on line and scanning my y-center ID card when I enter the building - it seems redundant to have to go to a table that is placed to the side and sign my name next to my name on the list for the water aerobics class I scheduled online. When I asked about this, I was told it’s to know where I am. If I signed up for the class on line and I scan my card to check in, doesn’t it seem logical that I’m there to be in the pool? The signature sheets to the right is overkill. Also, no other exercise class seems to have this.
Group exercise.
Fun and lots of variety for all ages.
Lots of choices in class offerings
Yes my husband and I exercise five days weekly. The Y makes a conscious effort too keep us safe The y gves us the opportunity to exercise with a secure feeling,with social distancing sincerity TheNeidel family.
The instructors for the senior group exercise are top notch!
My kid loves it!
I haven't do many classes since Covid but I like the community, everyone goes about their business and does their own thing, not about seeing and being seen, clean, good staff.
Geared to my level of exercise
Instructors are great!
I like how they are still checking temps and how you have to sign up for a class.
I like the instructors, class variety, and the cleanliness of the facility.
classes!
Convenient location, well priced extra curricular activities for my kids, summer camp.

I love the Y at Lakewood Ranch, my only issue is that I wish they were a little more restrictive with the classes, not only promote people to sing in online the day before but also enforce it, just so there is adequate space in between people and such during these pandemic.
