At our Y, you can do more than just work out. You can also connect with new people, develop new skills, and explore new interests. You might even discover a new passion!

We love working with people who are passionate about developing youth, being socially-conscious, and supporting healthy lifestyles for all. However, sometimes it's hard to find good people. We have current full and part-time openings, particularly in our areas of Early Care/Education and Before/After School Care. So if you know a good person, please introduce them to us!

The Lake Anna YMCA is the first Y location in Northeast Ohio to offer 24-hour access/7-days a week to members who are 18 years or older. To use the Lake Anna branch, members of the Akron Area YMCA first need to register.

Brandon Levito 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This YMCA is the only one in the area that has the most up to date equipment (besides the one in downtown cleveland, they have amazing equipment) and some of the most friendly staffing. The parking is right in front of the building which is so convenient and nice. A wonderful worker named Traci is the sweetest, nicest exercise assistant (physical therapist? I'm not sure her title) I've ever met and she even listens to me vent my stresses. She is very helpful in showing me how to use the equipment as well and spots me when I need it. I'm just unhappy they started closing an hour earlier on the weekends this summer. Great YMCA, though. Great staff.

Fantastic experience: New to the gym but very nice equipment. Looking forward to be here a while.

Brentt Moore 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: While parking could be better (you can't blame them too much due to the construction going on), this YMCA location is awesome. It features plenty of space within workout areas, features rather up-to-date and maintained equipment, and has a nice pool and sauna. Various seating areas and classrooms allow for relaxation as well as niche classes. I do think the Men's Gold room is a silly offering, as the locker room should just be expanded as a whole, but overall this YMCA is one of the better ones in the Akron grouping.

Fantastic experience: I joined the Y 4 or 5 years ago. The University Park Y IS MY FAVORITE. It is well equipped and always spotless. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a nice lap pool. A warm therputic pool ( limited acess) and a fun pool for kids. Swimming lessons are offered and many other classes.

Cheyenne Smith 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This YMCA is very, very nice. Very clean and the staff members are extremely helpful. The equipment is up to date and the pool is very nice. I wish the "warm water pool" had more "open hours" and there wasn't a "fee" if you aren't enrolled in a class.
