I like the availability of different equipment and programs, plus the socializing aspect of going.
The activities
Friendly staff
Great gymnastics program! Kids love all their instructors.
Great place for the family with lots of activities
These programs encourage the children to try new activities, in a healthy environment for them to be around their peers.
The homeschool PE program has been a great way for my kids to make friends and get exercise during their homeschool day several times per week. The staff is all welcoming and friendly. The classes are fun and engaging.
We enjoy the community HS PE creates. We appreciate the flexibility and enthusiasm of the coaches and their ability to create a strong report with the kids individually and as a group. My kiddo often leaves PE feeling accomplished, encouraged, wore out!
A few suggestions for the sensory sensitive PE class: 1.) lowering the timer buzzer/timer volume or using a visual timer 2.) when safe to do so using daylight rather than over head florescent lights 3.) keeping the gym doors shut when possible
Chance is by far one of the best PE teachers I've come across. He remembers each youth, their names, gets on their level, makes everyone feel seen and no matter their ability he encourages them to keep trying and is engaged in their activities. We come back everytime cause of him. Thanks Chance!
The specialized classes for homeschool and sensory frendly options
The instructors were very informed and friendly with all the kids.
It is for all ages!
I won't go anywhere else. Best coaches/ teachers hands down. Thank you for your hard work and dedication . 10 outta 10!
The schedule and the staff
I like the setting for different activities for youth, and the energy and attitude of the coaches
I like that my son gets a wide variety of skills and opportunities in multiple sports. It is important to us that he gets these experiences starting at a young age. The youth sports staff has been amazing the past year that we have been participating.
Usually skills and drill at Lakewood is a disappointment and I usually use as a filler(if no other program is available for that day) for my kid. However this Skills and drill is well organized and actually have some fundamentals. Hopefully it continues and not regress back to kids just tossing ball up in the air and scrimmaging with no coaching.

I love the community that the YMCA center provides. However, the before-care and after-care programs are what might discourage people from joining. It appears that the program is consistently understaffed and has a high turnover rate. Due to cancellations, there are no incentives available to families, such as discounts or prorated fees, resulting from the cancellations. Additionally, on non-school days, it’s frustrating that members have to pay an extra $55, in addition to the monthly fees.
It's a joy to come here!!
