Plenty of choices
I love the aqua fitness center and my kids love to swim, and go to the computer club. I wish we can have some oriental dancing classes.
The place was great, very clean and staff were friendly/helpful. Chlorine inside the pool room was very strong in the air. I was in the pool room for 2.5 hours (1 hour in water) and I had a chlorine headache for two days afterwards. That has never happened to me before so that is my only complain.
The pool!the pool love the lifeguards especially Manny and his music water is always sooo nice clean great temperature. Starting my day with swim and exercise does make a difference

I love that the new Y is so well maintained. One of the best programs you have is the Bootcamp class with Steve Martin.
The gym is close by and clean, with nice equipment
I’m a swimmer. The pools are beautiful, large, clean, accommodating. Temps has been on the cool side but now good temp control. The women's changing room also clean, accommodating.
Would give this Y an A!
Everyone has been very helpful and friendly. The equipment is always available, clean and modern.
Ditch the mask requirement. Everyone is done with the mask charade.
What I like about all the programs and activities at the Demakes YMCA is the outstanding staff who organize and run them. The fact that the first YMCA in the United States opened in 1851 (Boston, MA) and hasn't stopped growing since, 170 years later says it all as far as I'm concerned.
There are dedicated lanes for us lap swimmers and the staff goes out of their way to make your day better, Diasia (spelling) at the command center is a real people person and she always makes you feel welcome. Drew knows pool management very well . Andrea is a great director. Children are always learning to swim . The pool staff is vigilant. The building is sparkling. Congrats to the Demakes family and the city of Lynn.
The entire gamut, especially the pool
