Member Testimonials
The Lake Highlands staff is always very friendly and helpful, unlike another Y location that I also go to. The LH location is clean and welcoming. My only not as positive comment is that the door to Exercise 1 room is propped open while classes are going on. The music and microphones are loud and distracting in the gym.
I love Lake Highlands Y! It is far from my house or I would go more often. It is clean, big, and has a great spin class every time I've gone.
Staff, equipment & cleanliness.
Joyce is a great teacher and I would recommend anyone to her. She takes her time and doesn’t rush and gives great critiques on how to improve.
Equipment is first rate, machines always available. Variety of classes.
Facility is clean and employees are friendly and helpful.
They have great group workout classes. I love playing pickleball there too. They have great workout equipment
Clean and safe.
Good price and instructors
Lots of options for working out, activities, etc.
Outstanding as always!!!!
The staff are friendly and reliable!
Good staff and plenty of room to work out. Our gym is the Lakewood gym and we don't care for it. No staff available and very tight work out space very unpleasant.
Pool & changing rooms
This is a great place to go! Loved the Zumba class.
Premises is clean and well.maintained (especially restrooms & locker rooms). New and modern equipment. Friendly & knowledgeable staff.
The sign-up process was easy... the gentlemen that helped me was knowledgeable of the various options that are available and got me enrolled in a timely manner.
Very friendly staff
I like the cleanliness of the building, friendliness of staff, never have to wait for a machine and many good programs offered.
I am disappointed that I will now have to pay extra for using the e-gym. I had just bragged to a friend looking to join that it was included in the membership fee!
High quality facility! Very nice pool and locker room facilities. Friendly staff.
Friendly staff, clean facility, excellent EGYN system
The facilities are very nice and well maintained. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We used to go to Plant Fitness but wanted a change as the gym was often too busy and some of the equipment was dated. The switch to the Y was just what we were looking for in a new gym.
The instructor is great even though classes are expensive
The gym layout is great. I especially love all the windows which make working out more fun. I love EGym. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A big shout out to Gary who is always is so encouraging, and he always has gum to share. He says he read somewhere that chewing gum improves your workouts. The facility is always clean and bright. Just wish it opened early than 1pm on Sundays.
Great teachers and staff. Well lit parking lot. Very clean all the time.
It is very clean and very good gym
I really like this YMCA. The instructors are very good for the group classes, and the locker rooms and bathrooms are very clean. The equipment is new, clean, and in good working order. Would recommend. Very reasonably priced.
Friendly staff, great locker rooms, modern weight training area. This Y has a very nice neighborhood feel to it, and reflects the multicultural values of Lake Highlands..
Lake Highlands has always been a place of restoration and true community for our family—we genuinely love it here.
The one ongoing frustration, especially during the summer months, is that pickleball takes over the gym every single morning. I appreciate and support people of all ages staying active, and it’s great to see the space so well used. That said, it would be wonderful to see a little more balance during the summer.
Many older kids, teens, and preteens—especially those whose parents are working out in the MORNINGS—would really benefit from having access to the gym as a place to play, unwind, and escape the heat. During those three summer months, it feels a bit unfair that the space isn’t shared more intentionally with the kids who need it too.
Lake Highlands does such a great job fostering community, and finding a way to better share this space would go a long way for families during the summer.

Ashley R and Cara G my instructors and all the people in class. And the people what work the front desk and Gary (I believe that the janitor’s name).
