Lakewood Family YMCA

Great facility at a great price! Workout equipment plentiful, is in great shape, and is state of the art. Pool and gym are also outstanding. Staff is friendly and helpful, and there is daycare available! Great place!

Meh. It has it’s pros and cons. It will get the job done but it will be a slog the whole time.

Cons:
Inside area is pretty wack. Downstairs machines are all super light weight and you can max them out after a year of training. Upstairs is 75% cardio machines. Leg press machine & chest/ shoulder fly have been broken for ~1 month or more. Machine tri pushdown is awkward. Hard to get a flow going because the vibe is geezer doing 100 reps / 10 sets on the machine you need.

Outside area is kinda wack. Everything is rusty, you’ll have rust on your hands every time you touch a barbell. Only 2 45lb barbells out there, everything else is the lighter bars. No bumper plates for deadlifts.

Pros:

Very safe gym, great family atmosphere. Lost my wallet & water bottle and they were both returned to the front desk.

Sauna is always really warn even though it’s kinda grungy and small.

Both my 4 year old daughter and my 9 year old play indoor soccer here and they love it. The facility is always kept up and clean, the pricing is good, and the staff is amazing! I’d recommend it to everyone!
