Member Testimonials

I like that is so clean in there, the people are so nice, and you have everything you need to exercise , love the Sauna, the Pool, and I enjoy the time that I spend with my daugter doing exercise together.

I have lived in over 10 different states during my life. I have seen what most other YMCA's offer. This LVO location is in the top 3%.

My thanks to all the staff that work there to keep it in top shape.

Nice staff, well equipped facility and a good amount of group exercise programs.

I really enjoy this facility: friendly staff, good equipment, clean swimming pool!!

Great hours and many classes and times to use the pool

Never have to wait for a piece of equipment to show up at the gym. Clean, friendly, reasonable price.

It is a great place to exercise and get healthy.

Great class options, ability to use other North Shore YMCAs.

It offers so much for everyone! Great facility! Fabulous staff. Great pool for me!

It’s convenient, not that crowded in fitness area, good selection of classes to choose from, great instructors. Pool area needs work and parking is limited.

Coaches Clementine, Ed and I forgot the other names were great!
Our son is taking a break in the Winter and working on self defense instead of swimming.

As I have stated previously, your staff at this Y that I deal with regularly (Jeff, Keith, and Peter on weekends) are very knowledgeable and accommodating. Also, the equipment/machines here are generally very good. There are, however, a few that need upgrading.

I appreciate it this YMCA very much makes it easy for me to get my daughter on bus and hitting before my mornin shift. It’s been great!

Actually, every family member I know is already in membership with the Y

The facilities are great and people are very helpful

The Y didn’t name the pool after Sue Guertin for nothing; She has not only taught everyone and their grandchildren how to swim and swim well, but to love the water too! She is a legend.

We love the staff especially Addie who looks out for the kids and does everything to make sure they are placed properly.

If Sue is teaching, it’s a 10/10. She is so good at teaching kids to swim. My daughter loves swim class with Sue but would not like it with anyone else. She is just a one of a kind; but you all know that :)

Mrs. Sue is the best!

Great facility, staff and members.

We LOVE the Y! My entire family uses it and it's not uncommon for us to make 3 trips each weekend day between the 4 of us.

The staff is always friendly and helpful, our grandson is very happy with everything they do, and he loves the after-school programs along with the summer programs. He can't wait to return to children's island next summer along with the Leggs hill summer program.

Overall, the Y is outstanding and an amazing asset to our community. My wife and I, both in our 60's have been members for 10 years. We utilize the exercise facility and group classes. Our grandchildren enjoy the many activities geared to preschoolers when they visit us.

I do have one serious issue that pertains to the behavior to many, generally younger members who use the floor exercise equipment. There is a common tendency to simply occupy an exercise machine while members use their phones to text, scroll, place phone calls, and even video calls. Despite having stickers placed reminding members that this behavior is not acceptable, this simple request is consistently ignored. Many times I have seen members ask someone who is occupying a machine while they "play" on their phone if they would stop using the phone and finish using the equipment so they too could use the equipment. This simple request is invariably ignored, often in a very disrespectful manner. This has also happened to me on many occasions.
Is there anything that can be done to eliminate the use of cellphones while sitting on an exercise machine?
Thank you,

We love the establishment and equipment. The increased popularity among high school kids is great, but some kids need to be more respectful about time on machines. Too many people resting between sets while sitting on machine on phone. Unfortunately we need to have a little more control of that. Shouldn't even have phones in the gym while using equipment. Also people letting weights smack down. If people don't know how to use machines, they shouldn't be on them. Thanks

It’s a vibrant place full of good teachers. Friendly staff and lots of choices in how to stay healthy
