Water exercise classes and pool open swim
Convenient, well planned, good instructors
The pools are the best in the city.
The Ymca is amazing and the people that work at this branch are amazing. Myra is always friendly and smiling.
Because many of your fitness programs (spinning, yoga) attract the same members over time, people get to know each other and make arrangements to meet outside the Y.
Excercise programs
Flexibility of class times and instructors
working out
I haven't tried programs or activies, but have started working out on Sundays with my family. I like the number of treadmills that are available.
I love the classes!
nice
It seems your facility is full of things to do. However, my reason for coming into the YMCA is to use the exercise equipment and weights. If I had to suggest one thing in that area, I would have to say that more collars for the bars are sorely needed.
What instructors there are at the M E Lyons branch are very good. Body balance and Zumba are great additions recently added to the classes offered but the amount of yoga classes has decreased. I know they are doing the best they can to offer as many classes as possible but right now there’s a studio just sitting there doing nothing from 9:15 -10:45am on Tuesday and Thursdays which is needs to be filled with either yoga or Zumba
numerous classes
easy to schedule classes
very friendly
I mainly go to the group classes. Sorry that some group classes were dropped as I liked taking two morning classes in a row.
Plenty to choose from
Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Variety of activities to choose from.
Well trained instructors in group exercise classes, Gerri and Lori. I don't fear injury with these competent instructors.
The indoor pools and water classes
Swimming pool
The YMCA has everything a person could want from a fitness facility. I just wish you had a heated swimming pool 😊
Variety
Water Aerobics
I do a number of different activities and I like the different options that are given with the workouts. I especially love Lynn Arnold and Cathie Hamann
I especially love the pool and all of the facilities that make using the pool easier. The locker room is spacious, the showers are comfortable, and everything is clean and easy to use. I haven't trued the exercise machines yet, but I spent a few minutes watching a lot of old folks like myself using them, so I'll give them a whirl next time.
Selections
I don’t use any activities, but always find the workout machines clean and there is alway a free machine for me to work out on.
Well trained, friendly and helpful staff.

I swim 5x a week.
