Great space for family
Yoy can have time for yourself and your kids

It’s always a good experience, whether going by myself, or with my family.

We are new members and the Lynch/Marblehead YMCA appears to be well run and offers a broad array of group classes.

I enjoy the classes and instructors, especially cycling. As a senior, the Y is extremely reasonably priced and includes all classes I want.

Great facilities, best pool options and being able to go to any Y

The Lynch Van Otterloo Y is exceptional in welcoming members and providing staff with the equipment to support an individual as well as team exercise activities.

Elliot and Bennett passed the swim test this fall at 5 years old! So proud of them and truly appreciate Mr. John's patience and kindness to get my guys swimming. I would highly recommend!

We have loved swim lessons at LVO for several years now -- it just keeps getting better and better as Carrie gets older and more skilled. Miss Jen in particular has been incredible. She is the rare and perfect combination of fun, warm, encouraging, but also no-nonsense and holding a high standard. Carrie has LOVED working wth her and the results that Jen has gotten out of our child -- and the other kids in the class -- is almost inconceivable. They are doing strokes with confidence that I would expect a high-schooler to take on. Anyway, suffice to say that we are incredibly impressed and grateful and think that Miss Jen and the whole Marblehead Aquatics team is simply first rate!

We have been so happy with the gymnastics programs, all of the teachers are 10/10 amazing. Our son is 4 years old, and absolutely loves it! He is learning so much about his body awareness, and his body in space, it is amazing to watch. He lights up when they do their "drills" and truly enjoy how fun the coaches make learning!

my daughter wants to go

My son enjoys the after school programming and the staff is dedicated, friendly and communicative.

Nice facility helpful staff

Nice people and clean!!!

The variety of programs for different age groups ,the availability of early and later classes, child care, swim lessons and swim teams make this YMCA very appealing.

Our kids joined the sensory gymnastics class and we love it! It provides structure, routine, a quiet environment, and the 2 coaches, Giulia and Lindsay, do an amazing job with helping to not only teach, but to redirect them in a way that keeps the kids calm and focused. The visual schedule provides a clear timeline of events, in which the kids participate adjusting from things to do, to things we've done. Every week our kids are excited to see what they will be learning next.
