Facility is nice and new, great steam room / sauna. Staff is Awesome!
Family environment
I love nearly everything about this location. My only negative comment is that sometimes the music is too loud. when you consider that 80% of people are wearing headphones..
the good news is that the staff have always reduced the volume upon request. the situation is boils down to the fact that if listening to a podcast on my bluetooth headset, if I have to turn it up way too loud to overcome the ambient music then I am risking damage to my hearing.
It’s been ages since i took a durham Y class (i now live in raleigh). I used to take Anthony’s kickboxing class about a dozen years ago & was thrilled to be able to take it again-and see that it’s just as great as it was back then!
Super clean. Love the exercise equipment. Afterwards I love a good steam . Friendly staff.
Racquetball courts! Good classes! Easy access to equipment!
Facility & people. Parking is sometimes a problem though.
Great classes, beautiful facility, kind staff
Been going to Lakewood since 1977. It’s a family atmosphere and everyone is so friendly. It’s my home away from home. Have acquired many friends over the years. They have everything you need to keep in shape. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Staff, community, environment. Parking lot meets needs for Y members and easy access- except in times of school or rec sports games! Then it can be a real pain. But still better location for me than Downtown. I go to all 3 (Downtown, ATC and Lakewood). Lakewood is my favorite.
I like the newness of the facility and that it's part of the Triangle YMCA.
Outdoor track
Good customer service and friendly
The staff is always friendly and helpful at the Lakewood Y. The Lakewood Y is very cozy and homey.
Lady J (Janice) Commit aerobics class. We very much miss the Pound class she used to teach on Thursday evenings.
I love the people who work there -- from front desk to the instructors -- they are knowledgeable and very welcoming of all skill levels. Also love the size of the facility and the equipment.
The friendly staff and cleanliness and the music .
The space has so much natural light. The ceilings are high. That’s why I don’t like to use the Downtown Y
Friendly, welcoming and safe environment! Facility is clean and not too crowded.
First I would like to say that I consider myself a member of Durham YMCA and I attend all branches. I do not think of myself as a Lakewood Y member.
I love the friendly staff and my classmates at group fitness at a;; the branches.
Great facility!
Great staff and instructors.
Location convenience and the excellent staff enhance membership experience. The facility has good equipment for a range of needs. The sauna is an additional benefit. Generally a clean place and pleasant experience.
The facility is well kept, the equipment is in good order, and the people working there and using the facility are really nice.
Convenience, good equipment, great staff, sense of community.
Well equipped, staffed & clean. Great fitness, yoga & pilates instruction.
Steam room
Feels like family, staff and patrons very friendly. Clean. Variety of gear. Never too crowded, good parking.
On the other hand, the Triangle Y app and website are abysmal, never work as advertised, always a hassle.
Friendly people who I've been seeing at the Y for years and years, generally not too crowded, good class options, laid-back atmosphere, sense of community, feeling of purpose.
Friendly staff and members - spacious cardio floor and free weight area - plenty of equipment - especially appreciate the new stair master!!
