John is exhausted from camp and we love it. We had to dig through the lost and found bin to find the water bottles and sunscreen he's lost so far which isn't fun. Maybe a reminder to counselors to have the kiddos do a bag check for the usual items? He's missing one or two things everyday.

This YMCA is what I have been calling my 'beacon of light on top of the hill'. I am a SAHM and have been for 3 years. And before that I was a working first time Mom during COVID. To say it has been a tough and lonely time would be an understatement. I (we) only recently joined the Y; and I have slowly learned how to have time to myself doing REAL self care moments. Going to classes, talking with other Mom's and starting to feel 'normal' or at least on the path to finding myself and feeling 'normal' again. I have not had a lot of safety in life but now I am starting to feel strong and safe for the first time. And I owe it all to the Y. Thank you for helping to give me myself again!!

Family oriented my kids love it there

My son enjoys children’s island. He loves choices and being at the pool.

My son Benjamin had a blast at soccer camp last week, and I personally was impressed with all my interactions with the staff

Very organized! My child really enjoyed it!

The staff and counselors showed great interest in making the camp a great experience for my kid.

Kids swim is amazing! and the free child care!

Addie does a fabulous job. Very attentive and helpful. Always watching what is going on in classes. Hires great teachers.

My son has a full day of fun and loves doing all the events.

Love the island for our kids. They are appropriately challenged and love it.

Great facility. Indoor, outdoor pools. Huge weight room. And a cafe. Love that. Just one quibble: no steam room?

Appreciate the welcome environment of the classes (and the variety and early morning options, so that I can go before work). The facilities are great (clean, well equipped). And I love the sauna!

I would recommend the Y to a friend or family member because there are so many courses and activities offered for children, teens, adults and seniors.
I have been away from the Marblehead Y for a year, and I was pleased to return and find a few changes and additions. The facilities are very clean, and the attmosphere is inviting. The fitness gym equipment was rearranged and spaced for more comfort and accessibility. Receptacles for cleaning equipment are conveniently placed to hold disposable wipes to help maintain that equipment is safe and sanitary for use . I prefer the disposable wipes to using spray bottles and paper towels.Accommodations are available for parents to drop off their children to attend a class. Many classes are scheduled several times throughout the day for everyone’s needs. The Y is a great community asset!

The outdoor pool is amazing, just needs more sturdy chaise loungers to be perfection.
Also Scott Forrest’s water fitness class is reason for coming alone!

Love the equipment, love the classes

great staff beautiful facility

The range of activities and workout equipment and facilities is outstanding.

So friendly

Great environment

Lots of great classes and open swim times (inside at least). The kids club has definitely stepped it up the last few months too- I have a lot more confidence in them than I did a year or two ago.

Only negative and the reason I didn’t give a 10 is that someone sent a male camp counselor into the girls under 17 changing room last week while the campers were getting changed for the pool and I was changing my own small kids and myself. Another counselor asked him why he was in the girl’s locker room and he said someone sent him in and while he looked very uncomfortable and I don’t think it was malicious - there were plenty of female counselors out in the hall (even if they were from different groups) that could have temporarily switched with him- that would have felt more appropriate and comfortable for everyone. So maybe help the counselors feel empowered to speak up and switch group’s temporarily in situations like that.

The LVO is the best facility that I have ever had a membership. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The place is always clean, great amenities and there is always new classes and equipment.

We love the outdoor pool!
