What do you like about our program and activities?

For classes, I like the variety of the different obstacle courses on different events. I truly feel like Bailey is learning new things! Open gymnastics is so fun and such a great energy burn. I wish the sessions were longer!

What do you like about our program and activities?

The kids love exploring the gym setting. I have one who follows the group and one who is further behind who has a hard time staying with the group. They are in sensory gymnastics. They do well with the quiet setting and having open gym after. My daughter especially has come a long way in arm strength and courage around heights.

Bonjour,

J'aimerais profiter de cette opportunite pour saluer cordialement toutes les professeurs de la chambre violette et toutes les membres de l'administration du departement de cette ecole maternelle.
Je m'appelle Name removed, le frere aine de Galvin Last name removed.J'ai frequente le pre-kindergarten de la YMCA de Marblehead qui a cette epoque etait localise au Centre de la ville. Je pense que cette experience m'a donne une excellente foundation.J'ai des camarades de cette institution que je considere comme des amis jusqu'a present. Je suiis extremement fier du progres de mon petit frere Galvin au cours de l'annee scolaire, dans son langage , ses competences sociales, interaction avec ses amis, les enfants de son age et sa personalite a ete un plaisir pour moi en tant que grand frere.

Je voudrais personellement remercier au personnel de ce program pour le travail formidable qu'is ont accompli avec les enfants.

Merci une fois de plus et que Dieu, Notre père céleste vous benisse.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I have had a wonderful experience here at Lynch! I have a young son and his father passed a few years ago, so it’s important for him to be here and play sports have community etc. Connor was awesome with him and now Austin has really been amazing too! He has gone out of his way to guide and mentor these boys! We were at open gymnastics last week and he actually sat down and was helping teach a group of our boys how to handle a problem and how to interact! Myself, along with other mothers were REALLY impressed! Then Manny has been awesome also during preschool basketball. He is currently in boys power movement as recommended by Stephanie and he loves it and Mel and the rest of the staff have been so amazing!!!y son and some of the other kids have a few learning or behavioral challenges and oftentimes people don’t know how to interact but your staff have gone above and beyond! The facility is also beautiful and we enjoy all the other regular ymca benefits and it has been nothing but a blessing to us!!! Thank you! Keep your staff because they are truly wonderful and rare!!!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Something at the Lynch Y for EVERYBODY! LOVE the dynamic group classes, always new routines, with motivating instructors. They all do a GREAT job, and being around others who are motivated to move, get fit, stay fit, and be healthy is very inspiring! I live in Salem and drive to the Marblehead YMCA... I wish the Salem YMCA had more classes offered because it's just down the street from where I live.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My 6 year old son takes the Boys Power & Movement on Wednesday nights and I really appreciate how patient and considerate the coaches are. They help each child with kindness and respect regardless of their struggles or challenges and make it really fun! The boys are challenged appropriately and develop new skills consistently. Thanks for offering this class!

It’s such a fun and safe way to get the kids energy out and expose them to different forms of play!
The girls love jumping into the pit, playing tag, and creating their own obstacle courses. And they made friends through open gymnastics.

What do you like about our program and activities?

We love open gym and structured gymnastics classes, we have also really enjoyed the special programs offered during school vacation weeks such as the glow dance party and movie nights. The variety of times for open gym is very convenient and provided a great way for my child to stay active during the long winter and to meet other parents. Awesome community resource, especially during the colder winter months.
