Member Testimonials

Everyone is personal and professional

Great facility and pool.

Coach Nick teaches sports skills but also teaches the kids how to be a good teammate, have respect for your coach and be a good sport.

The Lynch/van Otterloo offers an amazing number of different activities from workout equipment to sports, swimming and group fitness classes just to mention a few. No other "gym" in this area provides a more diverse set of activities.

I love the atmosphere at the Y. It feels like home. I am a retired aerobic instructor and bodybuilder. I’ve had many back and neck surgery’s it’s been a while since I’ve belonged to a fitness club. I’m very happy my family motivated me to go. It’s the first time I’ve felt comfortable going back.💜

The facility is beautiful, clean, and has so many options for our family.

The Jr. Celtics was well organized, and the teams are very competitive. My son enjoyed playing on the league.

Coach Nick is great

Baloncesto

My son is excited to play every week. He loves the energy, spirit, and teaching offered by the Junior Celtics program. His skills are progressing tremendously and I’m really proud of him.

Programs (swim classes, gymnastics) available for kids are FREE with a family membership - such a great benefit to my young family!

We are really enjoying the kickboxing program! More of this on weekends and after 5pm please! We miss the boys tumbling.

We've been very happy with our Y membership this year. Lynch VanOtterloo is great resource for adults and children alike. Thank you!

Our son has been attending the indoor soccer skill clinic on Tuesday evenings. The coach is AMAZING.

Great facilities, friendly/helpful employees, the early learning center is AMAZING.

It is clean, has a big pool to lap swim, has another pool with warm water which is convenient for swiming in winter. Has lots of lockers to keep your stuff safe while swiming, has warm water for taking shower before and after swiming, and has a warm and welcoming environment.
However, the showers need cleaning more often as there are always a bunch of hair on the floor which is disgusting.

I’m likely to recommend the Y for other people because in the Y your health will be better than before and the members of Y they have respect for each other.

Gorgeous facilities, helpful staff, easy parking, excellent classes both in person and online, great value!

Nick runs a great program! He is wonderful with the kids and a great leader. My only suggestion would be to extend the halves to 20 minutes (instead of 18) since the teams have a lot of kids on the roster and to have the clock stop during subs and time outs. Thanks so much!

Very helpful staff, clean facility , nice snack bar, good programs.

There is a wide variety of equipment, workout spaces and programs

The Jr. Celtics program has been phenomenal. Coach Nick does a great job running the program, and all of the coaches are engaged, supportive, and great at helping kids grow and have fun.
Thank you for all of the hard work!

The swim club has been a great winter program for our 13-year-old. The instructor is awesome, and the kids work on their strokes, other swimming skills, and they also have time for fun while in the pool. Thank you Marblehead Y!

We love the swim program! Ms. Sue is a legend!

Excellent class

The program Director is absolutely wonderful. She cares about the children. She cares about the community, and she is willing to go above and beyond to ensure that the needs of the children are met. The instructors are passionate about what they’re doing and they’re teaching the children to love the sport of swimming.

Best stuff

Great facility and wonderful staff

Because I love swimming and the pool is beautiful. Parking is easy and staff are friendly.

We are a great feeder program for high school and college sports. Learning to love a sport and develop it over the years says a lot for YMCA sports. Include everyone, give them opportunities to find what they love best and make sure you have trained and qualified coaches and instructors who are committed to work with youth and meet their goals.
