Member Testimonials
Take Silver Sneakers classes. Love our “trainer”, Nicole. She is cheerful and engaging. People who run this Y are very friendly and accommodating.
Very helpful employees and quick to respond to my needs
There is something for everyone, no matter your age.
Not involved in programs yet, just been utilizing the fitness area. The fitness area is clean, not overly crowded, and it is a welcoming environment.
I always get a good workout in the different classes I attend. The instructors are always positive and willing to help everyone have a good workout. The classes are easy to schedule. The YMCA is a fun place to go to have fun and meet new people.
Love the AOA dance fitness.
I like everything about the activities. The Chair Yoga and Silver Sneaker instructors are wonderful enjoy every moment
Only been a member again for a couple weeks but I love the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness of the facility.
Don’t understand having to now get a ticket for the lap lane when I am already registered. If the are 6 slots available on the registration there should be at least three lanes open. This is not always the case. It seems the Lap lanes keep creating controversy and conflict. Evidently this has been in place for two weeks but today was the first time we heard about it from other swimmers. We will comply but I’m not sure this will resolve this problem. We have always complied by registering. Others haven’t.
The family atmosphere is the Best !!!
I love the engagement. I can see my son learning new life skills
Good workout program, great instructors
The water aerobics and aqua Zumba are (literally) just what the doctor ordered!
We also enjoy the friendships and community spirit we have at the Lyons Y.
The variety of classes offered, friendly staff, and numerous equipment.

The instructors and fellow participants
I have not had an issue with the ME LYONS Y in 20 years but am extremely disappointed in their handling of the noise level of the music played for Water Zumba on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:00 in the indoor pool.
It has been measured by two members (on cell phones) at over 90 decibels. There have been NUMEROUS complaints and one letter that I know of about the ear-blasting music with the instructor continuing to ignore comments regarding the possible damage to the hearing of the lifeguards who MUST stay in the pool area.
I realize that the acoustics are lousy in the pool area; there are about 20 persons in the class who are ALL concentrated in the shallow area of the pool. Why the music must be SO DEAFENING that two people cannot hold a conversation in the deep end is beyond my understanding.
This is a constant source of drama every Tuesday and Friday at 10:00 that could be handled by some authority at the ME LYONS administrative level.
Persons HAVE been avoiding the time slot so as not to be accosted by the noise. It is too bad there cannot be any evidence of compromise on the instructors part.
It is an enjoyable activity that is well taught by Ms. Stewart but her continued lack of respect for the comfort of others and, especially the Guards, is somewhat maddening.
