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.
Everything Especially Coming In To Exercise And Workout Plus Going Swimming And The YMCA Staff Is The Best And I am Proud To Be A Member And Supporter Of The YMCA Especially Central Parkway YMCA Because That's My Favorite YMCA Gym/Fitness Center My Main One.
Love the water aerobics classes. The instructors are great. It would be nice if the water temp was more consistent and on the warmer side. The ladies locker room is always so cold.
Fitness classes are included with membership. Equipment is modern, clean, and maintained. Locker room is clean.
Swim aerobics especially outside in the summer
Toni is a great instructor
Group activities encourage me to show up and exercise when I could easily decide not to.
flexibility and availability
I like the number and variety of cardio equipment.
They bring people together and they’re fun and vital for my health! The employees are also very knowledgeable helpful and lots of fun!!
the staff are so kind and welcoming and the building is so much better than the other Ys that I have been to.
Variety
I love the facilities. The guy that often opens in the morning is often tardy and less than personable.
All of them
We love the clippard Y pool
Gym, pool , open space to play basketball

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
