Visiting from out of town and couldn’t find parking at the downtown y so I came to Lakewood. Super helpful and nice clerk at the front desk got me all setup for a non-member day pass while also taking care of other folks coming in. Really made the process easy and took time to answer my questions.

It’s a smaller facility but the equipment was in good condition and well organized. I got a good workout, got to enjoy the sauna and steam room, and then take a shower. Nice locker room and setup!

This would definitely be a five star review if it weren’t for the parking and for limited equipment. This facility is clean and well organized, the staff is friendly and helpful, and people that workout here are somewhat reasonable. Parking accommodates about four people and there is only one of each piece of weightlifting equipment

So disappointed in their Athletic Department. We went for a soccer game and the Refs were constantly on their phones, rolled their eyes, shrugged, even laughed at us when we asked them to pay attention to the game. One ref walked out in the middle of the game to go sit in the shade. Even the parents of home team came over to apologize and said their Refs are always that disengaged and rude. Very sad, and not the type of Values YMCA Employees should be exhibiting.

One of the most poorly run athletic programs I've ever seen. Flag Football Program is a joke. No organization by staff, only two teams playing each other every week. Staff all confused on rules each week. A refund should be given back to all parents. Pathetic.

Great gym at a great location!! Very nice and always clean. Great selection of fitness classes. Everyone that works here is very friendly. I have a little one and use childcare and they are so great with my kid. They are always energetic and excited to see my kid and have fun activities for him to keep him busy and entertained. One thing to note is they have somewhat limited parking (though I’ve only once had a problem finding parking, just something to keep in mind) and that there are certain evening hours where it is very busy.
