Member Testimonials
Fantastic atmosphere and wonderful facilities.
In swimming and exercising in the pool the lifeguards
were so friendly and kind in responding to my questions.
Well run. It was a spontaneous visit, Slnce, I was far from
my home Cape Ann YMCA, my more convenient visit was
WONDERFUL.
Thank you. You're requesting my experience and response.
further illustrates how exceptional this YMCA is.
Bravo !
Love the temp of the small pool - very welcoming to old (er) bones! I take the Sunday am class, taught by Gus, which has grown so much in attendance. Gus is a great instructor, very focused and knowledgeable. Always feel great when glass is over.
Excellent facility
It's a beautiful facility with so many offerings.
Great, well-run facility and friendly, helpful staff. Good programs for children.
Great facilities. Friendly staff. Excellent value.
John has been great with both my 9 and 5 year old kids!
great place and affordable! I'm a fan of the Y's
I love coming here.
Jeff Hunt is doing a great job showing me how to use the equipment. He is patient, friendly and very knowledgeable.
Facilities are clean. Friendly Staff. Lots of equipment to use.
Organization
Absolutely, we love sauna and pool at Salem location. The stuff are friendly and very helpful.
Is a friendly environment. I went in for the first time to work out and felt a little nervous but then realized everyone was there for the same thing and felt no judgement. Plus is a very clean place.
Friendly,clean, great classes!
Mr. John is an awesome teacher! My son is learning a lot. But the pool is just too cold,
They've really upped their game this year and the coaches are engaged.
It’s clean, the front desk is helpful and welcoming and there are good exercise options. I like that I can get a membership through my senior Medicare health benefits, and use it at other Ys.
Great range of excellent facilities. Easy access.
The shallow pool depth and warmth is perfect for our 2 little kids. Plenty of open swim times. The staff is nice too.
Not sure how to spell the teachers name, but Narius is an excellent instructor. My daughter was super nervous and she let him know the first day and he was amazing at keeping her anxiety down. I cannot express enough how awesome he is and my daughter loves him! All instructors should be this way!
Fits my needs, excellent supportive staff.
Different equipment
we love the swim program!!
Addie is fantastic.
We also can’t say enough positive things about all the swim instructors (Sue, Sylvia, Jen). I know there are other great instructors but we haven’t worked with them yet. Thanks!
The instructor is knowledgeable and learning happens very quickly as compared to other swim programs we have been enrolled in. It was amazing to see after only 3 lessons our son swimming independently on a pool noodle!
Many variety classes, nice environment, cafe
If anybody asks about the Lynch/van Otterloo Y, I'd certainly recommend it. The Y has something to offer for all ages and levels of fitness.
My daughter has attended gymnastics classes for almost 2 years and she absolutely loves it. She tells me how great her instructors are, she's always learning new things and has made some really good friends

Amazing staff and facilities
