Over the many years that I have been attending the Ymca, I have enjoyed all of the staff and people that I have met. Such a friendly, family atmosphere.
It's a great community of people and I've become friends with many of them
Unlike pearl street ymca..lkwd ymca has a huge beautiful open separate cold pool! And a no nonsense rectangular jacuzzi, that is NOT cordoned off in a bunch of cubicles! There is space for familie in warm pool and times for kids in entire pool area...but the whole pool area is not turned into a crowded childs splash pool...lkwd ymca is far above others in sensible arrangements of pools, sauna, steam rooms, numerous USEFUL gyms, basketball court and conference and enrollment areas...its just A plus directed, scheduled and run...full stop.
It’s clean and the staff are very nice and welcoming!

Can set my own hours
I actually live in Thurston County, and am a member of the Briggs Y, but I often go to the Lakewood Y to swim because lap swimming is rarely available at the Briggs Y. They have it on the schedule but there are typically only 3 or 4 lap lanes available (maximum) and they are usually occupied by people who are simply floating around, or walking. In Lakewood, however, there are enough lap lanes available mid-afternoon that someone like me, who actually likes to swim for exercise and not just float around, can have access to that.
What I like about the YMCA is there friendly personnel, the wide variety of classes that they offer and the cleanliness of the facility. It keeps me going back for more.
People and the way how clean is .
All the classes offered and the various times, especially for Seniors.
