I attend SUnday AM pickleball on occasion. The players and the morning staff are very welcoming.
Coach Nick and star whole staff is so patient and gives equal attention to all the kids in the program. The vibe is just so welcoming and family-friendly.
If I could offer feedback more geared towards YMCA guests - I would say it would be nice if the spectators are told not to stand in front of people sitting down to watch their children. This happens at every practice and is super frustrating. If the Y staff could monitor this, it would be super helpful.
How the coaches take the time to teach the kids. They do an excellent job. Coach Nick and the other coach.
Couch Nick is fantastic, both my daughters love coming to every practice! I will keep signing up for the next season of basketball!
We’ve had great experience this session with both teachers and working with Addie to accommodate adjustment needs to our schedule.
Consistent and positive environment for my son to get additional energy out and structure to his week.
What an awesome YMCA in Marblehead! We had a visitor from out of state and brought him in for a workout session, and he was amazed at the facility. The opportunity to share the visit with a trip to the YMCA was premium!
We find the YMCA at Lynch Van Otterloo to be once of the best and most accessed resources for our family on the north shore. The afterschool/summer programs are fantastic. My daughter has been attending the YMCA since we moved to Massachusetts in 2021 and she has been surrounded by supportive mentors that have really helped her bloom into a happy child. The programs are engaging and the instructors genuinely want to teach and are kind to the kids. The facilities at the Y are very nice too. I love the variety of classes, times, and open sessions. The website is easy to navigate for updates and group classes.
Nick Harshaw does an amazing job with the sports programs! Our daughters participate in several programs and I'm so impressed at how well run and organized they are. Nick and the other coaches are also so fun and great with the kids. I really appreciate how friendly they are with the families too and somehow know everyone's names and make everyone feel welcome. And of course importantly, the kids have learned a lot of skills in each sport thanks to the instructors!
My daughter is very excited about after school program.
My daughter has learned so many skills through Jr. Celtics! Teamwork, dribbling, footwork, listening, self-control, ball control, and the love of basketball. She looks forward to going week after week!
Both of my boys are in the Jr. Celtics Basketball League and love it! The new calendar system is working great and makes it very clear what court and time each game and practice are at. Coaching volunteers are great as is Nick who keeps it all running.
Coach Nick for the Jr. Celtics is amazing. We really like him and think he’s terrific with the children.

Almost everything
The teachers and staff are so supportive. And the extra programs for the students like swimming and gym are such a difference maker for our children.
Availability of many classes, clean rest rooms
We love the Y! We enjoy the fitness floor and our kids love their swimming and gymnastics classes. My only suggestion for improvement is that toddlers love open gymnastics, but nap time is typically between 12-3pm so the current 12:30-1:30pm offerings at Lynch do not work. This is a complaint for my family and several others that we know. We would be so grateful if you could open an open gymnastics time earlier or later in the day on weekends. Especially in the winter! Thanks so much.

Great yoga class tonight. Immaculate facility. Only negative is that the parking lot is quite dark.
Clean, friendly, great class schedule.
The range of programs is amazing, and the staff are so willing to help!
It’s affordable for me because I’m currently under 30. For only $2 more a month compared to my old gym, I get access to unlimited classes which is a game-changer. Lynch-Van Otterloo is a short drive from my house, and knowing I have to be there at say 9:30 for yoga means I actually get myself up and go to the gym. The equipment is all state of the art, and the facility is extremely clean. I’ve been telling everyone: join the Y!
The Y is a great place for exercising and socializing. The staff members are friendly and helpful, and the facility is modern and clean. We are grateful to have the LVO YMCA in our community!
