Member Testimonials

I think the Y is one of the best places to workout, bc of the variety of classes and weight machines. The pool is an extra added bonus!!

It's the best place to workout in town! I love everything about Lynch Van Otterloo. And Dario's is excellent.

But, since you asked and if I could please mention...

I work out on the fitless floor between 2:00 and 4:30 roughly 5 days a week. I understand encouraging young boys to include weight training in their daily lives, but... is there some way to teach these kids gym etiquette? Volunteers to work with them, something?

They are loud, sit in groups on benches/equipment in their phones while members are waiting, bump into people working out with weights probably because they have no clue what personal space is, they wear moccasins and crocs as athletic shoes, don't appear to know how to use fitness equipment, and on and on and on...

I'm sorry if I sound like a complaining old lady, which technically, I am, but I wish I could change my schedule to find time to workout when these kids weren't there. And I'm not sure it's their fault, they just don't know what gym etiquette is...

Thanks,

My kids love preschool open gym. The parent-child gymnastics is great, as well.

Swim instructor very likable and helpful to my toddler. she’s learned some basic skills while also incorporating songs/ music. My little one is less fearful of swimming on back, dunking in water, and overall is more comfortable in the water! Thank you Marblehead Y

Helpful and friendly instructors. My son has gained confidence in the water and is learning swimming skills.

John has been great with both my 5 and 10 year old kids!

Easily accessible and I’m always able to find a cardio machine or strength machine choices.

Addie is AMAZING!!!

Mr. Narius as a swim instructor!

Love swim instructors and lessons at Y. Just wish there were more family shower and changing room options at the LVO YMCA.

Our 4 year old boy has a lot of vigorous energy. The class ratio and the support staff on hand at the Marblehead location has made for a VERY successful experience for us, better than previous experiences elsewhere, even at other local YMCAs. In addition to all of this, there is one staff member in particular who has been so good to us. When I was chasing after my 4 year old energy ball, one of his teachers came over to us and said, "You know who else had a lot of energy when he was little, Michael Phelps!" Her words were like a balm to my frayed mother's nerves. <3

Great strategies to support nervous swimmers and instill a sense of fun

I love the Y.
It is well run, staff and the instructors are very helpful and professional.

Great facility

Everything is easy to access, equipment in good shape, great newly built vibe

#1The convenience of LVO location.
#2After almost a year away from the Y I was looking for a gentle entry to a fitness routine and saw the class (5/10 5:30 pm Restore, Align ) The instructor Sky, was knowledgeable and attentive to the participants’ expectations and skill level.

It is clean and physically the equipment is well maintained.

So much to offer all age groups!!
Awesome instructors.

Friendly staff, clean facilities, great work out options.

It’s a multi-function facility serving a wide range of age groups with a diverse set of services. A great family atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the equipment is well cared for. An overall positive experience!

Excellent facilities, clean and great equipment.

Everything

Absolutely love the Basketball program and the coaches. Coach Nick is an excellent coach and takes his time with each child to improve their skill set.

This is the best Y I have ever been a member of. I use the pool and weight room and am very pleased with both.

The Y is very well equipped, clean and well run. It's frequented by all age groups
and has an energy all its own.

Great instructors, staff is very nice, the space is really open, and space for the classes! I especially like the powefit studio and how we can use it privately for an hour for the class with the instructor. All other Y's have private studios, it makes sense that we can have a private space for our class without people coming in and interrupting!

I wish there was a steamroom, and a more-private sauna.

Everything I need in one place. Clean and helpful, friendly people who work there. I also love the cafe!
