It's a great facility

Folks are friendly, it's clean. good parking and Dance Jam with Lisa is terrific!
Wish you had Tai Chi Classes!!

Toddler swimming and gymnastics programs are terrific

I have worked with personal trainers off and on for 40 years. I am currently working with Julie Foster at the Lynch Van Otterloo YMCA and she is amazing. On a scale of 1-10 she is a 20!!! She is so knowledgable, consistent and compassionate that the physical therapist I am also seeing at the LVOL YMCA is so impressed with her work out routines that he wants to meet her. 6 weeks ago I had trouble walking up and down stairs due to knee pain and today I can navigate stairs with minimal pain. She deserves recognition and a pay increase if that is in the budget!

Both John and Nerijus have been great with both of my kids!

The coaching and child centered approach to teaching a challenging skill where children can get easily overwhelmed. Staff are excellent and create a supportive and exciting environment for learning.

I like the Y because the pool area and locker areas are very nice and always clean. The pool is beautiful. The pool hours are early (except on Sundays) which work out great for me. Furthermore, the staff is very nice!

Great classes and very good group exercise schedule - I love the early morning classes.

Great place for the family to stay healthy together… good programs for all ages!

The air quality, the kind staff, clean equipment and classes

The Y is great place for people of all ages. Has lots to offer in terms of a beautiful facility and good programs. The family locker room is a nice addition. Job well done! My only frustration is the increasing number of people who scroll on their phones while using equipment such as the weight machines. The other day I did eight machines while I watched someone sit and scroll on their phone preventing anyone else from using the machine. I realize we are all free to speak up, but it’s awkward even when being very polite.

Great atmosphere. Great staff.

Wonderful place! All classes are free. Pool is gorgeous! Very clean. Well staffed. Plenty of parking.

Management and instructors. Lots of days and times offered.

I am very happy with the facility and the instructors I have for water fitness, water zumba
and the other areas of water exercise.
My one problem with the pool experience is the lack of cleanliness of the pool deck. It is
is serious need of deep cleaning, it is unsavory and not hygienic .

The swim program is great and they have tried to make improvements in a thoughtful way with minimum disruption to the members.

Great equipment, wide variety of class offerings, all well maintained. Also like having a Spaulding site for PT on site.

Good selection of classes and activities for all age ranges in an excellent facility. The Y’a fees are affordable for most. As I senior, I appreciate the discounted membership.

It’s very clean and very well run ~
I just wish there was more parking and it was bigger ~ probably one of the most crowded gyms I’ve ever been to

Nice
Clean
Helpful classes are great

Our daughter is in the Friday morning class with Jill, she is fantastic! She really keeps them moving and is so engaging with the preschool age

The Y is a wonderful asset in the Marblehead/Swampscott/Salem/Lynn community. The equipment is great! The staff is so welcoming

It has a full offering of everything you need in an exercise facility. I love the squash program most.
