Lakewood Family YMCA

Much better. Had a bad experience at Warrensville last weekend. Much more to offer at Lakewood.

Cleveland Clinic has physical therapist hiding in the back of the Ymca. Great therapist. I docked a star because I saw a woman performing incorrectly. None told her what she was doing incorrectly which could cause further damage.

I'm a new member and my first impressions aren't great. I chose this gym over others because they had group classes that I wanted as a part of the membership. The equipment seems dated and unclean. The place needs to be deep cleaned, there was debris in every crevice of the machines I used. The lockers in the women's locker room are rusty. The staff is nice but the facility is old and cramped.

I enjoy the Flexible Core and Silver Sneakers Muscular Strength classes and the friendly, helpful staff.

Wide variety of classes and various times, Huge pool and a lot of available free swim times throughout the week. Tons of machines, parking, and space for workouts inside in various rooms / areas of the gym. Child care center is large also. Front desk staff always friendly!

Be warned customer service regarding membership is lackluster at best. Tried to get a refund for being charged for a year of membership after already having ended my membership and have been met with resistance at every step.
Facilities are wonderful and well maintained. Staff are relatively helpful. Customer service and accountability are poor.

There are enough exercise stations and a large enough space that even when the Y is busy, I can get my light workout in. And it's clean. And the staff is upbeat. And it's family-friendly in all ways. And it's affordable. And it contributes significantly to the community. Way to go, folks!

John H has been my trainer for a couple years, he's got new ideas for strength training every week, keeping things very challenging and never stale. He also runs some workout classes that are are higher intensity. (CAOS, TRX, Y Strength).

I'm in the Y 2-3 times a week and the staff is friendly all around, and the maintenance staff is meticulous, it seems like there's someone cleaning surfaces all day long

Lots of open swim and lap swim. Variety of water exercise classes. Swimming lessons and aqua therapy. Clean locker rooms.

The philosophy of the organization shows in all staff! Programs are well run, our entire family is engaged, the building is safe and clean. Keep up the great work!

Very friendly staff. They are trying hard to make this Y the best possible. I have been working with a personal trainer Corey for a few months. Well worth the investment! He is awesome.

Workout areas bursting at the seams crowded most of the time. They make it VERY difficult to end your membership.they also require a 30 day cancelation notice.so now have to pay for another full month I wont use after canceling june 5th (they are charging me for july also). I find this to be a sneaky money making scheme that is completely unnecessary. Unhappy with this gym. Staff are nice but that is only plus.

The classes here are wonderful, and the trainers very approachable. Downside is that the website is unreliable. Four different times in several months either the wrong months calendar was up, cancellations are never updated, times are not updated. For some of us we can't keep a regular schedule due to work but still want to be able to attend classes when we can, we won't always have access to the paper copy. The downloadable one is almost never up to date, and the one directly on the webpage not updated. I have driven 20 minutes on numerous occasions only to realize the class isn't happening. The regular gym is still there to use but that is not what I purchased my membership for. I have regular workout equipment at home I can use for that. Unorganized, and the front desk is often clueless, tell you the incorrect class room or have no idea about their own bulletin boards. Bulletin board said sign up for new Tuesday toda at the front desk and the front desk not only didn't know a start date but said there is no sign up. Guess who missed yoga?

If you want to throw your money away, have a good laugh, have my 600lb life coaches in charge while craving snacks, this is the place for your kid. I have seen more talent in free recreation center's. They are not challenging these kids full potential. I gave them 1 star just to share the truth. #2019#wtf

Staff is always friendly. The place is clean and the prices are reasonable for a facility with this type of amenities. A great place for family and adults with programs and classes for all ages.

Pretty clean considering it is a busy, communal space. Very friendly staff. Occasionally difficult to use the swim lanes/weight machines due it being a busy location depending on the time of day.

This place is unfriendly, the regulars think they are the only ones allowed to be there. Your can sense the intolerance.
I only go because of convenience also there is no ventilation smell like unrelenting human sweat all the time!

Attached is a picture of the black mold in the men's showers (taken 2/2018). I've been working out at this Y for about 6-months with the hope that things would get better.but they haven't. I've offered several comments on their website with no response. This place is gross, overcrowded, and mismanaged at best. Very little open gym times during the week.only kids volleyball, basketball, and leagues. Good luck trying to use the sauna or hot tub. Machines are in bad shape and too close together. This YMCA needs an overhaul.

Hands down the worst referees in their Mens Basketball Leagues.waste of $50.00 to play in the league, and the fact you have to pay 35.00 a team each game for ridiculously horrible officiating, to the point even teams that are winning games are fed up. Not all are bad, a few are respectful and just miss a call here and there, then there is a handful of refs who blatantly miss calls out of spite. I heard on the other end of the court last night a player and a ref getting into it after a game, and the ref slurring out words such as "you suck, your team sucks, learn how to play basketball, etc" charging in the players direction seemingly trying to fight. (Tall red headed ref, out of shape) It is my 5th session in a row, i love to play, but it has been consistently terrible officiating, blown games bc of missed calls, you talk back to the ref you have a death wish of never getting another call in your favor again. I highly recommend checking out Ohio Nets mens leagues or pretty much anywhere else besides here. Good Day
