Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The Y is a remarkable resource for Marblehead. Its many programs allow all to participate. I particularly enjoy the pool and lap swimming. I wish there were away to reserve a lane for a particular time as is done at the JCC. The pool and the rest of the Y is clean and well kept. I find a friendly atmosphere and am glad to see people from soi walks of life there.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I totally enjoyed my first visit to the Y. I took a class and totally enjoyed it. Especially, the music.

I followed the class with an orientation which included a tour of the gym and usage of the equipment. The gym was impeccably clean which was reassuring.

I found the staff to be friendly and helpful!

I wanted to share my appreciation for Josh Yoffe, Jaqueline, and Kara. They were all friendly, professional, and communicative when planning our daughter’s birthday. We appreciate all their hard work - it was the perfect celebration!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The LVO Y is one of the best facilities I have ever been a member of. Staff are supported and in turn engage with the membership.
There is a routine update of equipment, and when a piece of equipment requires repair it is taken care of promptly.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I mainly swim laps. The pool is well maintained and the mens locker room is always clean. The staff is friendly and I always feel welcome. I take my grandson to the pool on occasion, the new family rooms are a welcome addition especially with the new lockers. I was most impressed that they were able to maintain the space during the construction.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I have always loved the Y!! I'm grateful that after a hiatus over covid, where I lost my habit and then the classes and instructors changed, I'm back. I LOVE Sarah McCormack and wish she had a dozen classes per week. That is the face of our YMCA! She brings love, joy and energy every day and it's impactful and inspiring! I would love a few more classes to chose from, maybe some later morning classes or more evening? All of the instructors, Ali, Kara, Lisa and Donna are outstanding, I've never been disappointed! I used to take Spin with Jo-An, so if you could lasso her back for a few classes, it would be fabulous. Those instructors are what lift the Y above all other options, and the greeters at the front desk, with their warm welcomes, make it such a joy to go there!
