Member Testimonials
The Lakewood YMCA is the best YMCA in Pierce county. Toby Roberts the director, is engaged with members (knows most of them by first name), and visible in different departments on a daily basis. There is a positive energy when I walk into the Lakewood YMCA. Di's yoga class on Monday morning is amazing.
The staff is friendly and u could always tell when a person doesn't like their job. What I like most is the equipment, pool and sauna
Friendly and less crowded than Morgan
Friendly and helpful staff and the dedicated instructors. Also, there is a systematic quick response to carrying out emergency aid when patrons encounter medical issues. A+
Outstanding support from the top down, you do so much for our community, a wonderful atmosphere for the youth, young adults, and the grandma's and grandpa's. Toby a personal thank you from the Clover Park Kiwanis, we love you man!

Love the Sr Adult Group classes
Love the staff, especially Toby. I am a senior and lots of activities, clean environment, and equipment always working.
Everything
I have only been a couple of times, but it is welcoming.
I enjoy that you really see all age groups and types of people there. However my loyalty to the Y is from the 1970s when my all girl high school wouldn’t allow us to play many “masculine” sports so we quietly formed our own high school soccer team thru the Y. Did get in trouble at school later when we did well enough in the YMCA league that year to get mentioned in the local paper wearing our school name, but it was worth it.
We love the environment and swimming for our son. We also love all the weight and work out equipment for ourselves.
Only positive.
Everyone is so kind and helpful!
Conveniently located; great pool system, especially for seniors with limitations; Sonny is a warm welcoming soul at 0530 hrs; Wendy keeps a very clean facility.
Thr instructors actually give the attention the children need to be successful swimmers.
Very friendly staff and clients
The people are nice and there's lots to do there
We have been going to swim lessons at the Lakewood Family YMCA for over a year. They have an excellent swim program and the teachers are great! My son loves swimming with teachers Sage & Alex!
Small size and good instruction
Very knowledgeable instructor
Great experience! Indeed heart warming!
The professionalism and the skill in working with kids of varying abilities.
Lots of different day and time options. Makes it much easier for a single parent. Also, the teachers are fantastic and my daughter really enjoys each class.
The pool is very clean. And the instructors are very patient with the kids .
I enjoy the Water Aerobics classes, I do both classes from 7:30 to 9:15, has been a lot of fun, teachers (Candi and Anne) make working out enjoyable. I also like the machines upstairs.
On Wednesday, my CRV was intentionally scratched, 3-4 scratches and one down both doors on passenger side. I park in the handycap section located in front of entrance. I will park in different location next week, maybe that will help?
That I can be in the same pool while lessons are going on and the water is warm. The instructors have all been good so far and they have days and times for classes that work with our schedule!
The staff
Family atmosphere, water aerobics and stretching. Good variety of classes, machines, etc. Our grandson "grew up" there with different sports and summer day camp. He's 20 now, and still continues to exercise in some form every day.

Everything!! From the friendly,accommodating people at the entry to the layout of the facility . It offers something for everyone and is very clean. A variety of room sizes for working out individually or in a group class are well placed throughout. It's family friendly. All age groups are welcome and will be able to find whatever they need to enhance their physical lifestyle needs.
