Every thing great
I can be active for free with silver sneakers otherwise if I had to pay I wouldn’t be able to afford attending.
Helpful and fun
Very family friendly at M E Lyons.
As a senior I appreciate the Silver Sneakers classes. There has been a change in front desk personal which is very much appreciated. One of the people previously there was downright rude and on one occasion abusive.
Management staff seems to be more responsive and polite.
Have not participated in any programs, have used the outdoor pool which looks great with the addition of the flowers.
Love the exercise equipment, all employees so friendly too
The variety of group classes offered & the outside summer time pool.
just joined, haven't tried any programs (yet)
I’m 85 years old and I’m going to make a recommendation. Outside in the pool area you need to have some chair, chairs lounge chairs that said a little higher so we all folks can get in and out of them easier.
This is not my home ymca. So I don’t go there often. I do love how you go the extra mile for the kids basketball games - blowup tunnel, music, lights, cowbells. It’s such a fun way to start the games. I missed that activity yesterday. Assuming that just doesn’t happen for the summer session?
Since Coney closed....we enjoy / use the POOL.
I like the open gym times and the availability of equipment (cardio and weight machines).
Programs and activities are well organized and led by enthusiastic staff.
Lots of variety. Nice pool
Flexible and GREAT staff
The kids basketball coach’s were amazing
Convenience and great value
The outdoor pool
Instructors are informative as well as friendly, easy to talk to. They take the time to answer my questions. Classes are challenging as well as fun. I have learned a lot from instructors as well as other participants.
Exercise classes, treadmills, pool
Your deep water and shallow water aerobics classes, 9AM, five days a week, sometimes ten a m on some days also, are very valuable to your senior population. Arthritic joints get exercised through the entire range of motion without any impact when done in deep water. This is very, very beneficial for arthritic joints. Greatly appreciated by many of us. Please continue the number and frequency of deep water aerobics as the value for health reasons is tremendous. ME Lyons y m c a is the only y m c a I could find in the entire greater cincinnati area that offers steady classes of deep water aerobics every week. Thank you.
Classes are well organized, and led by eel trained staff. The facility is clean and a pleasure to be in.
Wide array of choices. Committed instructors.
Connecting community.
