We call it the "Mom's Y" for a reason! The locker room is *luxurious* and the vibes are excellent. The downtown Y is my main spot, but when I need some good steam room / sauna time, I happily make the trek over to Lakewood.
I love the group classes, kind staff members, and clean facilities.
I did have some feedback/questions about the new treadmills though - the old treadmills had preprogrammed nature runs where the elevation increased/decreased automatically. These new ones look like that is what it is supposed to do, but you have to do it manually. If someone knows how to fix this or make it automatic on these new treadmills, I would love to know how to do it! My email is Email address removed if anyone is able to answer this question.
Thank you!
Sorry,
I have done this survey several times and I am asking you not to send this survey to me again. Unless you can give me a very good reason for sending the exact same survey over and over again.
Thank you for your consideration.

The Lakewood Y is conveniently located, so it is easy to get to. They have a great workout area, with treadmills, elliptical machines and weights. It is a bit smaller than some of the other Ys in the area, but it is perfect for a quick workout. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have a very active after school program. The pool and the tennis/pickle ball courts are also great. Highly recommend!
Nice environment, folks get along, I have friends there, has a fair amount of equipment for my needs.
It would be nice to have more weight clips for the barbells and some of the tiles on the ceiling of the women's locker room are damaged.
THE YMCA IN GENERAL HAS BEEN A LIFE SAVER FOR MY FAMILY FOR 2 DECADES NOW AND I AM TRULY THANKFUL FOR THIS ORGANIZATION AND THE PEOPLE WHO DONATE. MY SON LOVES HIS AFTERSCHOOL TEACHERS AND I THINK THE YOUTH ESPECIALLY ARE GREAT WITH THE KIDS. VERY HAPPY MOMMA!
The ping pong is great! I would love to see a Tia Chi class.
SHAN! He is the best. I am very pleased with the return of attendants to the wellness floor. I wish they seemed more engaged however. Sometimes I observe them on mobile devices instead of proactively patrolling the space (eg recently prompted an individual to replenish a wipes dispenser). Facility and lockerroom always tidy! There is a true sense of community at the Lakewood YMCA.
Great instructors, wonderful community
Love this place!!!!
I like the classes that are offered especially Nancy.
The people at the desk are always friendly. The zumba classes are fun!
The Lakewood YMCA premises are welcoming and well-maintained. The front desk person always greets you with a smile and is eager to help. This branch offers a variety of health-improving programs to choose from. The central room accommodates a large number of stationary-bikes enabling several members to use them at the same time. Last but not the least, as a lady-member I value the fact that the ladies’ locker room and bathrooms are clean.

It is a clean facility
Great location, good classes from 5:30-6:30 pm (love Anthony and Ellie). Can you please add a 5:30 Monday night dance or cardio or strength class?
It’s very convenient for those who work long hours and the staff is very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. My child also seems to enjoy the afterschool program.
The people over his wonderful I love love coming over there have so much fun as nice and clean the people are so enjoyable thank you for I'd be in y member
That the sauna and steam room always works!😊
The location is convenient and has great parking. It’s clean and wasn’t crowded. Most of all the staff were very friendly especially Dee!
I love the racquetball courts and ping pong table, and the proximity to my kids' school - Lakewood. The locker room is nice, though the ventilation could be better, it is often quite hot and stuffy in there. I don't use the equipment too much, but I like that there are lots of options. I wish there was a more private space for working out on the mats, rather than right by the treadmills and ellipticals.
I know this survey is geared towards Lakewood, but I also attend group fitness classes at the Downtown Y and really enjoy Lenae's cardio strength class and the aqua zumba classes. And my family and I love the Meadowmont pool in the summers.
Friendly staff. Convenient location.
It's all been very positive! It's much more friendly from the parent-YMCA interaction perspective this year--I'm not sure what you all have done, but it's appreciated!
Classes offered at convenient times and taught by great, skilled, friendly teachers---Ellie Tolle, Brook Harrington, Sam, Jessica, Anthony.
The size is just right--not too big and not too small. The weight lifting area is rarely crowded.
