Member Testimonials
The instructors were very patient and paced the lessons according to the comfort level.
The teachers for classes are excellent. We just need more class options in the evening and weekend afternoons, for those of us who work during business hours.
The gym is always very clean and well-cooled.
A few issues:
There are not enough toilets for women. Now that the toilets and showers are in the same room, and there are only three of those, we are going to have problems, especially after swim classes. There is only one additional women's toilet in the building.
The class rooms no longer have barres attached to the walls, and it's not ideal to haul out free-standing barres for classes.
There are not enough light hand weights in the group exercise rooms for the number of members who attend. People are borrowing weights from the room across the hall and not putting them back. The teachers should assess how many and what kind of weights are needed for a class and give feedback to the management.
Lake Highlands does not keep up with coffee service as the other YMCAs do. This is a convenience that I've come to expect at Semones and Moody. We need coffee all day, and the staff needs to keep an eye on the dispensers. We also need hot water for tea, as the other YMCAs offer.
This was by far our child’s favorite camp this summer. Excellent counselors and staff and fun, engaging and educational activities for the kiddos. Safe, easy drop off and pick up, plus lunch and field trips!? Wow! Win, win, win!!! We will be back next year!

Facility upgrade; pool lap lane accessability; customer service
Love the opportunity for my kids to exercise in the Kids Fit class. The childcare area is spacious and the outdoor playground is shaded.
I love that there is a prayer room.
The workout equipment is arranged nicely, especially the strength area.
Greeters make me feel welcome
Locker rooms and showers are clean
Nice people, great experience
Friendly staff and good spaces
The staff are so helpful. I love all the water classes and AOA chair yoga.
I normally attend water aerobics at Moody, but at the suggestion of a classmate decided to try your Saturday class. it was Ah-Mazing! Loved the instructor, the workout and the music. She told us what we were doing and why and also had modifications for us to try.
I also tried Tom's yoga class on Sunday. I love that you offer classes on Sunday. Although I was stiff as a board and have a lot of flexibility work to do, Tom was knowledgeable and had modifications ready.
The updated Y is a great place to workout, swim and participate in scheduled classes.
I liked that the classes were customized to each student's needs.
Just like last summer, our family had an outstanding experience with swimming lessons at Lake Highlands YMCA. Without exception, the organization, the staff, the staffing, and the quality of the lessons were terrific - and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend swimming lessons at this YMCA!
It’s a lovely new facility, staff is friendly.
The EGYM; cleanliness of the overall gym and most of all diversity of training tools (Turf; sled, ropes; freewights and machines let's not forget the basketball courts & pool)
Installations, cleanliness and equipment
I have been a member for several years. When speaking with others in the morning classes, the ladies would like to request a Pilates class that is not geared to the 20-30 year old members. Several years ago, there was one, but when the instructor changed, you lost all of us over 50. Thanks for your consideration.
i like the pool
Very clean, well organized, and so far everyone has been really great!
Close to home. Beautiful remodel. Huge room of equipment. Friendly staff.
The cleanliness, the politeness/professionalism of the team.

Love the new Y! I was a member years ago and dropped it because just did not like it anymore. eGym makes it easy for me to begin weight-bearing exercise again, friendly front desk, and nice atmosphere.
Everything is very neat and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful!
Nice new facilities
You have a friendly and helpful staff. There is a good variety of group classes and activities offered. I love that it's brand new!
Love the rhyme!!!!
My daughter loves the summer camp. They have amazing team members. Love it!
Lake Highlands is the best kept secret in the YMCA line up. What an amazing gathering of good caring people. Other locations seem to attract the more intitled and self indulgent demographic there only for the facility it provides at large. That is what makes the Lake Highlands location so different, and attaracts the communities genuine members that want to improve our community and help others.
