Member Testimonials
I love the aquatics area of pool. Would like times extended with more lifeguard coverage.
They are Great!
The exercise room!! The showers, locker room.
I don’t use the programs. I like to use the weight machines and elliptical or bike.
Have not experienced any yet
My son's instructor, Matt, is very good! He has so much patience and makes so much progress with the kiddos (despite their best efforts to push back as much as possible). I applaud him for his efforts.
I love the teachers attitudes with swimming lessons, We have had Matt a couple of times and Sydney and their level of patience with our daughter is impressive.
The instructors (and everyone attending) are all helpful and welcoming to newcomers.the entire facility is very friendly environment.
Enjoy all your yoga classes.
We are old and now it is difficult to be present at the Y. Hoping the covid-19 thing resolves itself. We have continued with our membership while not participating but we can't keep that up forever. Pray that things get better for both of us.
I like the water and Silver Sneakers exercises.
I went to the orientation of the fitness center and it was very helpful.
Programs for young kids available.
Swim and exercise
We love the child care staff and the ability to have child care while we workout!
Aquatics
Plenty of times available
its all good.
Fun and stress free
I enjoy the cohesive efforts on behalf of the people I meet at the Y to stay as healthy as possible despite our age. I am an older member but there are OLDER and I learn so much on our social interactions.
Also GREATLY appreciated are staff members Sue Brown of Aquatics and Vev at the Front Desk.
Sue has kept the Aquatic Exercise Program from floundering for over 20 years and her classes are probably the most frequented in the building. Vev is a cheerful AND knowledgeable presence at the Front Desk who had ALSO been around for many years.
Their continued presence is a welcome sight in the midst of all the turnover at the M.E. Lyons facility.
That I can come to the gym and work out at my own pace.
Lap swimming
Variety, good instructors, nice work out equipment
Love the indoor pool and lap swimming. Haven’t tried other activities yet.
Instructor for SilverSneakers is great.
They are so easy to sign up for with the YMCA app!
Instructors

After a five year hiatus, I rejoined the Y and was extremely impressed with the new exercise equipment. this re the Y on Clough, in Anderson. This was the reason I rejoined.

Great instructor, work well teaching my child the swimming skills he needed and First name removed had fun
