Member Testimonials
Demakes YMCA is a thriving lively community space supporting not just fitness, but also social connection, health education and greater well-being. I enjoy many classes, some of the equipment and the lap pool.
Lots of options for days and hours
Different options, however, more options and times definitely need to be added.
I haven't done any. I just use the weight room. I like how much space there is in between machines, the y isn't as crowded as other commercial gyms, and most of the equipment is good
Lots to do for all ages
Everything , there’s everything you need . The facility is immaculate . The men’s dressing room is spotless .
Free programs and activities and feeling welcome with the morning staffs they’re great
My son attends the Lil Ninja class on Saturdays with Jordan and he loves it! Jordan is great with the kids and teaches them so much!
There are lots of programs to pick by also facility is very clean.
The quality of the teachers is amazing!!! I also appreciate the variation in class types. I do wish there was a women’s only weight area- but that is my own issue to deal with!
Totally love Maggie's water fitness class! No other teacher compares to her. You are super lucky to have her! Very large space for body weight exercises and plenty of exercise machines. Lifeguards are always focused and demonstrate professionalism by not getting distracted. Environment is clean. Staff is friendly and helpful.
I have visited the Demakes YMCA during each of my three summer visits to Lynn. All staff members have been welcoming, courteous, and professional. The gym is clean and bright. I have never had difficulty using the equipment. Thank you for offering a great deal during my most recent two-week stay. I look forward to returning to the Demakes YMCA next summer or sooner!
Thank you so much for the peace of mind! My 7 year old comes tired and entertained. I hear my child talking about the trips to the roof garden, going to ninja warrior obstacle course, playin basketball, etc. The staff knows all children by name. The camp director is very attentive to children's needs. I also like that breakfast and lunch is provided for free.
The camp keeps the kids active all day.

Availability, affordability, and quality
There are a lot of great classes, equipment is very good. Place is kept clean and staff is wonderful! My only frustration at this time is lack of snack/beverage bar. Not every Y has one but the set up is there and it would be great to have it!!

Love the fitness for seniors
It hasn’t been long since joining the YMCA, but in a short time I have enjoyed participating so much. Signing up for activities via the app is very user friendly. The staff thus far have been kind, professional and knowledgeable. The water fitness classes have reached above my expectations and have been such an enjoyable way to get healthier. Thank you for all that each of you do to provide a community place to grow and learn.
I like that you tey to have something for everyone in the family. Would love it to be more options for little kids and older adults though
I like the variety of opportunities for both adults and kids. I also like the fact that the facilities are always clean and functioning.
It’s fun for everyone

My son feels very happy and the teacher who gives them soccer classes is very friendly and has a lot of patience.
