★★★★★Amber MillerWe love our YMCA! Very friendly culture! Love the updated weight room. Mainly because they created a smaller weight room downstairs with the old equipment. This is where I go as I find it less intimidating because I can lift in there alone most of the time. Has been known for having kind of a competitive Pickleball group in attendance. They seem to be working on that piece. I always play on the "beginner" side any everyone has always been incredibly helpful and encouraging.
★★★★★Julie SunIt's a great place to find activities for everyone in a family of 5 with three young boys --- they get to try some new things while getting some exercise. I can also try to squeeze in a walk or work out while they are at child watch and/or their activities. I also like the community vibe at the Lakewood YMCA.
★★★★★ShopTiliDropThe Lakewood Y is my happy place! I love doing the water aerobics classes and Ann is my favorite instructor, she is a fun lady and plays good music! All the instructors are nice and great to work with. I have lost over 100 lbs in 12 months doing low carb and water aerobics. I love having the Y as part of my weight loss journey! Just be careful in the pool area and don’t step on the black instructor mat, it’s slippery if you walk on it with wet bare feet. I slipped and fell on it and got injured. I have seen the instructor slip and fall on it during water aerobics when she was teaching class barefoot and her feet were wet. Your feet will be wet after exiting the pool. The instructor mat is supposed to be nonslip but it is in fact very slippery when walked on with wet bare feet. Wear aqua shoes!
★★★Mercedes DotsonLove this place! Really bummed that they got rid of the small area in the back room where you could workout and watch your children. Also, some days when there is a basketball going on, along with having a kid in gymnastics class, there is no where to sit. The bench/ floor area near the court entrance seems to be for shoes and backpacks of the players - Such a bummer! Too bad I don't know how to add the pictures I took.! Smh
★Zorana O'ConnorI had a VERY horrible experience speaking to Cece in membership today. I called due to an issue with my nationwide account as my mom added me to her membership back in November. I was not showing up in the nationwide system for another YMCA in Seattle and been dealing with this for several months. After providing the information to look my account up, I was then told that I was not able to be on my moms account as we don’t live together and that I should have signed up in Seattle as I am making it difficult on their end. When trying to explain what was told to my mom she cut me off and repeatedly kept telling me I should have signed up in Seattle. Then told me they can’t authorize membership accounts unless I go down there which I explain that I already went down there and NO ONE told us any of that. I was cut off repeatedly. I have never felt so dehumanized and treated so poorly. DO NOT RECOMMEND the Lakewood branch. The Seattle branch tried all they can do to help me but ultimately I had to call Lakewood and this unfortunate experience has left me with a negative view of the YMCA as a whole which is unfortunate.
