Member Testimonials
I’d have to say my favorite is the employees like bob and Tyler in the mornings. The facility is clean, organized and equipment is always in good condition. Our kids love all the sports programs
Friendly staff, great instructors, access to lots of types of classes and equipment. My cardio class is my social life!
It’s for EVERYONE!
Fun class. Clean dressing room
I appreciate so many things about my experience at the Lakewood YMCA, starting with Bob, Greg, Arnie, Jimi, Tyler, and so many other staff members who always make me feel very welcome and laugh at my silly dad jokes.
Most days I start with using the dance room to do my foundation workout, then either spend time on the elliptical or shooting hoops, then spend some time swimming laps.
Having that space to go to in the mornings has helped me to become a morning person this year, and to prioritize my own mental and physical health through engaging in activities that bring my joy and help me take care of my body, something which is very important for me as a divorced dad of three kids with a lot of responsibilities.
I'm so thankful for everyone at the YMCA, and for how this space is open to the community!
Friendly and respectful with both the kids and parents.
Great Staff , clean place to work out.
The most friendly YMCA around...

A fantastic pre-school morning gymnastics class we had with coach Stephanie and another coach( do not know her name) brought my grandson for the 10:30-11 a.m classes..the coaches were so patient and super fantastic with all of the kids..
Will re-register again for the fall..the class is really helping his confidence, balance and he is excited to enroll again.

Friendly staff, clean facility and variety of exercise equipment.
I moved away from the Lakewood Y to Tacoma, near the Morgan Y. The Lakewood Y has the stairs which provides easier access in and out of the pool for me. I use the swim fins for kicking and arthritis prevents me from being able to bring my right foot up to where I can put the fin on my foot. If I stand on the stairs into the pool, I can prop my foot behind me on the railing and slip the fin on from the back, bending my knee so my foot is behind me and supported by the stair railing. The Morgan Y does not provide stairs for getting in and out of the pool so I drive the extra ten minutes to Lakewood. You young, fit people don't know some of the tricks necessary to function as a person with mobility issues. The stairs into the pool are one way you make exercise more accessible to those of us with limitations. Thanks guys.
Safe, friendly environment. Facilities well-managed.
Everything!
I go the Y all the time when not using the Y360 . Everyone is really nice and made lots of friends there.
I appreciate that they have classes for seniors as well as a a nice pool.
accessibility
Great water aerobics classes!
I feel welcome when I step through the doors. If I have a question, someone will always answer it. If I have a problem it is usually taken care of. Everyone is always friendly. I have made some good friends at the Y. I usually look forward to going, but at four in the morning, I sometimes want to go back to bed, but I don't. I have been to other gyms and they felt cold compared to the Y. Plus the most important, I started after I was released from my cancer treatments. I needed to rebuild my core muscles. And the Y has done that. Now I am starting to loose weight and getting better health wise. I can tell now that all the hard work is finally working. Rita Lind
