Fitness room is large
Yoga Bob is one of my favorites. He knows his yoga like the back of his hand and is quietly helpful and gentle. His classes are great; yet you really get a workout!
Overall, the YMCA is a great place to be. There's lots of camaraderie and lots of friendships and relationships that are have been built. The only knock against the YMCA and not just specifically to the Lyons branch is that they are old. They are dated. Compared to newer facilities, they're just a little behind in the times. Lyons as well as Claremont and otherwise that have the potential to expand. Should seriously consider doing that in order to keep up with the demand.
Silver Sneakers and swimming
group exercise
Everyone is so nice and willing to help each other. The instructors make the classes a great workout as well as making them fun.
The fellow members and instructors all work together making it enjoyable to come to the YMCA.
I love the AOA classes, we have so much fun with Nicole. She gives us a good work out and a good time. We all leave her class with a since of accomplishment and a smile on our faces.
I mostly hang out in the amazing pools. But also like the exercise areas. Haven’t been in any floor classes. Like doing my own routine. But nice that so many options exist. Thank you!
The outside pickle ball courts are amazing! The pool is an added benefit.
I like that the YMCA is a nonprofit organisation that is dedicated to helping people grow in health, mind, body and spirit. The lounge area is great for meeting people and relaxing after working out and having a cup of coffee. The quite workout rooms are good for concentration simply because of the number of them. Everything isn't located in one big room. The variety of classes ranging from water walking to intense interval exercises offer a good variety for everyone at all levels. I personally specialize in Silver Sneakers, Yoga and Boot Camp and Workout Room so my range of exercises covers all of what my body requires.
