I have a city-wide YMCA membership. I used to only visit the Beaumont location to do water aerobics with my friends, but recently I decided to check out the other two YMCA's and have started to come here instead of Beaumont. This is an older location, and a lot less crowded than the Beaumont Y (but not as empty as Northside). I usually run on the track, which is above the gym. You have to climb an old iron spiral staircase to get to the track and it isn't air conditioned, so it is oftentimes empty (which is exactly what I am looking for). The track rattles in some spots, so that may bother some people. Also, if you have a fear of heights, I wouldn't recommend using this track. There are a good number of classes that you can attend at this Y. I have gone to the Zumba class and enjoyed it. One of my friends does pilates here and really likes it. A big plus is that they have towel service at this location and not the others. I also want to note that at this Y people are a lot less shy about walking around without towels on than the other two!

The High Street Y may not be the newest, shiniest gym in Lexington, but it shouldn't be discounted! The staff are helpful and friendly, there are always machines open, and for $30 a month it is definitely budget-friendly. Great pilates and yoga classes for all levels of experience.

The staff at the Y are very nice and helpful. The men's locker room needs to be cleaned a little better.....

Best PF I have ever been to, hands down. In the west coast, at least, PF doesn't have a good…read morereputation so I was hesitant to try them here... but wow, I was amazed at how huge, modern, and well kept this gym is. There is plenty of parking, the staff are attentive when you need them, and it is not a bad gym at all. The machines are hardly ever out of order, they recently added new equipment, and it's not dirty at all compared to other places I have been to. The price is great, their in-store items are reasonably priced, they're open 24 hrs... just great honestly. It is nice to see all ages and athletic levels coming in to workout; it is also a very diverse spot. Yes, it gets busy, but I never had to wait more than 2 min for a machine. Lastly, you can cancel online if needed now... that alone is a great perk nowadays. Overall, I'd give this PF location a 9/10.

While traveling for work I checked out this Planet Fitness. It's not the biggest one I've been to…read morebut I do think it was one of the newest and cleanest. Not sure I even saw everything as it's a 2 story building. All the equipment I used was clean and in good working condition. I only had minor wait times and it was a peak time I went in (5:30 PM). The staff was friendly and helpful as a newcomer I didn't know where things were. I would highly recommend checking it out and I will be going the rest of my week I'm here in Lexington and most likely during my future trips.

I'd never been particularly athletic, but as I aged (71 yrs now), I realized that if I wanted to…read moreage WELL rather than just morph into a wheelchair-bound slug, I needed to start taking things a little more seriously and start appreciating (way more) the good health I've always enjoyed by doing something to maintain it. A friend dragged me into StrongerLife 3 yrs ago and my life hasn't been the same since. I discovered things about myself that I wouldn't have dreamed were true: StrongerLife taught me that I'm (and, helped me become) strong, more flexible, capable of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, more energetic, walk 2-4 miles a day with ease, improve bone density and mental acuity. There are options for every movement or exercise in the event you have an injury, or are post-surgery. StrongerLife is way, way more than a gym. It's a community with classes, events, individual coaching, challenges, workshops....and, a slew of professional, accredited coaches (the founders are both Doctors of Physical Therapy) who help us to be the best "old people" we can be. Turns out: StrongerLifers don't think of themselves as old anymore. Many of us (including me) feel we're living our best lives Right Now! We're vibrant, motivated, gain so much social interaction with good friends we've come to love so much. ALL of these things are making my "golden years" gloriously enjoyable. I hope you'll give StrongerLife a try! By the way: A group of us walk every Wednesday morning at 9am throughout the Kenwick neighborhood. You don't have to be a member of Strongerlife to join us, so....JOIN US!! We walk two miles, then retire to Kenwick Table for tea, coffee, croissants, muffins and excellent camaraderie. Make StrongerLife part of YOUR life!

Starting my fourth year this fall. Coaches who are dedicated and care. A great combination of…read morestrength, balance, and movement. Well-equipped facility for group and individual classes. A great group of people.
