The community, the staff. nancy sawaya is a superstar. Love Amy Rossi!
One of the things I like is that they organize productive activities for the children, so the children don't waste time, for example, on their phones.
Family-oriented environment and excellent customer service always provided; facility is clean; great place to workout
I love and my child loves Ms.E. I love the hours because it allows me to work and afford life.
Staff is wonderful - so kind and supportive of our kids!
Shan or Davy are usually at the desk when I arrive. Both are super kind, helpful, welcoming. I liked being part of the table tennis group and now occasionally play with other women. I like how well the weight machines are kept up and running well. Thanks to everyone.

Access to other YMCAs in the US. This branch is close to my house and relatively well kept. Equipment is clean and when something is broken, it gets fixed pretty quickly. The locker room could stand for an update. I don’t attend classes so I can’t comment on that.
yoga, sauna, steam, rowing, weight machines and the people are really nice
Lakewood Y is great! You do need a shoulder press, however, to complete the upper-body equipment. But I have always enjoyed the facility, although I missed the ping-pong table in the lobby. I never played, of course, but I was always glad to see the action! Best, Name removed
Decent parking, friendly staff, has what I need (except a hot tub)
The numerous yoga classes that are high quality!
The Y is large, clean, with excellent classes and instructors. The front desk personnel are very nice and welcoming.
Durham Ymca is my favorite place to go in Durham. It's a grea tcomplement to dpac. And restaurants such as Cosmic Cantina.
Everyone is so friendly
Large well-equipped wellness floor. Friendly helpful staff. Great classes. I'm a big fan of Amy Rossi's Barre class and Ellie T.'s Lean and Sculpt.
Good atmosphere, clean and spacious locker room, good gym equipment.
Great facilities. Enjoyed my workout. Would like some more variety in classes offered.
Everything!
Operational hours and great overall environment
Everything
I enjoy the equipment and friendly atmosphere.
The community.
Not overcrowded.
Well functioning steam and sauna rooms.
Location, equipment, staff, music playlist, atmosphere (kids playing pingpong), strength traing classes. Like the downtown Y, the staff & membership is diverse, inclusive, & friendly.
Lakewood's Wednesday kickboxing class with Anthony is the highlight of my week! The front desk staff are always friendly, helpful and kind. I'm glad Lakewood is my home Y! More classes on weekdays between 4-6 would be awesome.
Friendly staff!! Great classes. I'm always able to get a treadmill. It's near my house and parking is good. Good vibes. I like that it has sauna and steam. But mostly I really like the people and vibes!!
The only thing I don't like at this location is that they allow people to play racquetball in the court that shares a wall with the yoga room during yin and "relaxing" yoga classes. It's unbelievably loud and jarring and exactly opposite to the purpose of the class. I understand that this is a community, but respecting and allowing proper conditions for all kinds of workouts should be part of that. The yoga classes in question only make up 2 hours a week. Please consider making this adjustment! Just block off that one room for one or two hours a week?
