Great staff: Vev, Sue, Mark, Nicole
Wish you could get Erica back .
Have great swim mates and exercise buddies.
We really enjoyed visiting your indoor pool last week! The life guard and front desk staff were both professional and very nice!! We also liked your family open time better than our ymca. It just worked much better for us! Keep up the good work and happy new year!!
I love the staff, they have been helpful, patient and kind. Having a child with special needs is challenging and seeing your child thrive is amazing. With the help of Sarah and her staff my son is learning to swim
I like the availability of open swimming times that are convenient to my schedule.
I really enjoy the water aerobic exercises. Sue Brown has been great throughout these difficult times.
I do water class with Sue Brown. I love the class and it keeps me moving. Sue is a wonderful person and she cares about are health. If you miss she'll check with people to find out. She sends cards. When you enter the door of the YMCA you are greeted, ask how your day is going. I love the spirit of the people. You make some wonderful friends. You meet all kinds of people. You don't feel judged, this is good for mental health. Getting to exercise and be sociable. I am so glad I have Joined and hate when I have to miss. I hope I can keep going. It is the best thing I've done. I love water walking also.
The friendliness of the staff.
All staff & members are welcoming. Always clean.
Silver sneakers classic
I go to the silver sneakers classes. Like the activities and instructor.
Ms Ann is a rockstar 🌟
The classes that are offered there. Love the instructors and class formats.
Front desk staff always very friendly
First I want to thank Beth who was at the Front Desk when I walked in. She took great care of me. Second, I want to Thank Nicole for showing me around the fitness equipment.
If the rest of my experiences are equal to them, I have no problem recommending Lyons YMCA to anyone.

The friendliest staff, the water aerobics program, the friends I have made at the Y.
Lots of selections of classes to take.
Morning silver sneakers
Everyone is friendly and helpful. I try to come to the Y 4-5 days a week, mostly to participate in the water exercise class. This has resulted in an improvement in my strength and my mental well being.
Group excercises such as spinning, strength training, and TRX
I do like yoga, but sad that the best yoga teacher quit. I'm confused by the new app too. Can't find the schedule.
The sports and options
The Silver Sneakers/Renew Active Classes have changed due to staff vacancy. It would be great to have the new instructor on board to expand those classes and to add back in the Silver Sneakers Yoga. Really miss Erica and Hanna. Nicole is awesome but I’m afraid she is going to get burned out since she has taken on additional classes due to the lack of replacement for Erica.
I love the family vibe, the kind people that work at the ME Lyons branch, the cleanliness, are all top notch! The equipment is always available when I go.
Zoom classes especially yoga!
I love the deep water aerobics classes because there are many of them at all times of the week and the Deepwater offers no impact for arthritic joints which is very very helpful. large number of classes and water walking Lanes as they are called opens up a lot of time in the pool for retired people! Very valuable to many of us! Terrific amount of pool time for those of us that totally enjoy it!
Very clean!!!!
