Swimming because it helps my body to heal as I am still an active skydiver
Nice staff. Nice facilities. Not too crowded. Love the indoor and outdoor pool
I love pickleball and I like your outside courts.
Water Aerobics class and swimming
Getting to know other families within a community. Kids make friends and learn team work through team sports. As a parent, I very enjoy watching them grow together
A good variety of options & times that accommodate different schedules.
There's a lot of classes to choose from on land & in pool, as well as cardio machines/ weight room & pool time available for individual workouts
I have only been once so far. I attended the water arobics class. I loved it and plan on attending as often as possible
The exercise equipment is great and the personal trainer, Margi is fun and very knowledgeable. The YMCA in Anderson also offers lots of programs for all ages, parking is good, and the staff are friendly.
Great instructors. Clean facility. Fun events for families to do. I would like to see more beginner friendly yoga classes

Pilates yoga

Sports for kids, lap times for pool, after school programs Jess is great - Caden/Parker's dad
Ann is an amazing swim teacher!! She is building so much confidence in my daughter who began lessons crying and screaming. She now loves her class, goes under water, and floats on her back! It’s amazing to watch her learn and comforting to see how she trusts Ms. Ann. So grateful for the amazing people at the Y!
Excellent instructors. Matt (or Mark?) does a fantastic job teaching the children with patience and kindness. He is an incredible asset to your team at Lyons
I greatly admire long-term staff members like Vev at the Front Desk and Sue Brown who has been the backbone of the water aquatics for 25 YEARS. Few people know the extent to which Sue goes to be helpful to anyone in and outside of the YMCA Community
I have been at the MELyons Y for 30 years and Vev has always been a constant source of friendliness and information at the front desk. It will be a sad day when she retires…..I hope no time soon.
Kids programs like soccer swim lessons etC
Every swim instructor has been amazingly patient and our 2 kids grow stronger swimmers each week they r excited to show us the new skills
We adore our instructor Ms Ann. She has been so wonderful with our little guy who is really unsure about swimming and has made some tremendous progress with him feeling more comfortable in the water! He also typically has a hard time separating but we love her sense of confidence she instills in him and he walks away so proud of himself after each lesson. We could sing her praises all day and are truly just thankful to have her!
We have been very happy with our swim class!
My son really enjoys the instruction!
I have just joined the "Y" but it appears to be a clean well equipped and managed facility. I look forward to being a member for many years to come.
