Why don’t we recycle at Lyons Y?
inclusive nature and variety. Also the indoor and outdoor pool!
The instructors and all the friends I have made! Having classes at 8:30 am is the best. That way you can exercise and still have the rest of the day to do other things.
Great staff energy at this Y. It’s a blessing to my entire family! Thank you!
I have Mary Ann St. John for 3 of the 4 classes I take. She is a great instructor and I enjoy her classes very much. It is always a challenging workout which is why I come to class. I also enjoy my Friday morning strength class with Julie. She is a very good instructor and gives alternatives moves for people who might have difficulty with the more demanding moves. I think the Y is fortunate to have instructors of this caliber and dedication. I also like my classmates. They are a very friendly bunch.
My son has gradually improved every year. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient. For the most part, classes are offered at hours that are family friendly. For example, our swim class was at 7:10 which allowed us to eat together as a family and get homework done before class.
Great engagement from the coaches and support of families to help kids learn and have fun at the same time.
They’re great! They run smoothly and our last coaches were awesome! Would definitely recommend!
My child loves kids club!
Ms. Kathy is so wonderful!
We have always had a good experience with our kids' playing soccer through the YMCA. The kids had fun, learned a lot and the coaches and parents were so friendly. My son also took swim lessons at the YMCA and he learned more in fewer sessions than he had at another swim instructional facility while also gaining a lot more confidence.

Great instructors. Individualized attention to your child - personalized instruction in a group environment. My daughter feels challenged but has a great time as well. Matt and Nate both bring out the best in her. She has excelled, and continues to do so. I'm so happy she's part of this program at the YMCA. Thank you for all you do! - Cayte Last name removed (swimmer: First name removed, age 8)
My daughter is safe, engaged in activities, and well cared-for.
yoga classes
There are lots of games and activities that keep the kids excited to come back. They offer prize boxes to keep the kids interested in working towards something to earn a prize and do things to generally keep them engaged.
I sincerely appreciate the staff and the great work that everyone does to the kids safe and having fun!
I have been recently swimming laps in the afternoons when my daughter is at physical therapy a couple miles away. Have enjoyed!

I ENJOY AND BENEFIT FROM THE HEALTH ASPECTS OF THE YMCA---HOWEVER---WHAT I LIKE MOST IS THE CAMARADERIE AND FEELING OF COMMUNITY!!!
