Member Testimonials
It's great, lots of great programs!
I like the variety of equipment. I love the Expresso bike and no other Y's have them anymore. I like the layout. I like that it's not too crowded; I can always get on the equipment I want to use. The staff are friendly. I lalso appreciate that there's diversity amongst the members.
Really good
Lakewood YMCA is an outstanding location! From teaching 6 month old kids to swim, to providing science-based senior strengthening classes, I have nothing but respect for the standard of excellence here. The new weight room will be spectacular and complete in December. Basketball, Tai Chi, Yoga or Pilates anyone? I love exercising here and have made many new friends. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Even when it’s busy, there seems to be plenty of possibilities for activities. The facility is clean, bright and conducive to wanting to staying active. And most of all, the staff is pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful.

Well organized And coaches are very patient’ great with the kids
The Y of Lakewood, offers a wide array of sports for the kid's to try. It is a friendly non competitive program for all!
The people are amazing. And my kids have grown so much from participating in ymca programs like gymnastics and swimming. I would like Pierce county ymca to start an esports program.
It's a joy to come here!!
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!
