I love my Y!
It is very welcoming space for all ages.
I see only happy faces when I am there.
Handy, clean
People friendly, gym good, pool good
My kids really enjoyed their summer on Children’s Island!
The staff are amazing with the kids, and everyday my kids come home having had a fun and challenging day. Going to CIDC is the highlight of their summer.
Great community, clean space, great variety of machines/classes
The instructor’s are amazing… they all go above and beyond. Rosemary is hilarious she really brings the energy, Abby is so versatile she seemed to fill in so many diff classes all summers. Kristen I took a class last week for the. First time with , she made a point after and before class to introduce herself and to see how I did. Lastly Heather she makes you feel like your in a private session , the attention she gives to all her participants is remarkable.. a friend of mine recently came back to the Y & seeks out classes that Heather teaches only!!
The people are great.. Keith & John. Instructors are excellent.
Just wish all the equipment was fixed properly. Signs. Have bee n up for awhile.
Small pool is good especially when it opens on time.
Love the Y in Marblehead!
Excellent facilities / excellent staff.
Very professional and personable staff in all sectors!
Children’s Island is an amazing experience- my 3 kids all loved it- the counselors are incredible too!
Helpful and well trained staff!
Many offerings in classes, equipment, services. Great professional staff, and clean facilities.
It’s a multi function facility serving the community with a wide range of health and fitness areas. The spaces are clean and the staff is friendly.
Really enjoyed my first visit and looking forward to returning with my family. My only concern was a lifeguard on duty appeared to be repeatedly looking at his phone. I can’t say for sure if that’s what was happening, but it appeared that way from where I was in the pool.
Camp on an island is a very unique and amazing opportunity. My kids like the counselors, the activities and always come home happy and full of stories!
I'm returning after a long post-Covid suspension. So far everyone (Patrick, Chad, Jeff, Keith) has been top-level helpful and friendly in helping me re-up as a member. Looking forward to getting back in the swing. Motivated by the welcoming atmosphere.
The best ymca around (trust me we have been to others lol)
The Early Learning Center is amazing! The quality of the facility is excellent - including the only squash facility on the North Shore! And the staff are wonderful and welcoming.
This is everything a summer camp program SHOULD be! Creative time outdoors, rain or shine. Great activities, responsible and responsive staff, plenty of information ahead of time, well-organized and planned. We will definitely be back next summer!
Love there are plenty of staff and coaches. Love that every friday there is a show for us parent to see what the kids been doing. All staff were very friendly and always welcomes the kids and parents.
clean friendly , great swim lessons for young children with Sue Gurtin she is great!
My son had never been to a camp. Children’s island was his first camp experience at 5.5 and he did so well! the counselors were great and made him feel comfortable and he was excited to go every day! We were so proud of him and grateful to the staff for making this possible!
Vey good children are very happy coming home tyre filing content love all the coaches specially Mike
We were so pleased with the CIT program this summer - it was truly a training experience with real feedback/evaluations and helpful orientations. I also thought the special CIT experiences (e.g., the special field trip to Marblehead) were great ways for them to bond (especially given they were not together all week) and feel special. My son can't wait to come back and do it again next year until he's old enough to be a true counselor!
My son has been thriving at the sports mania camp. He loves Coach Scotty. He feels very confident when he plays games with him. Scotty is wonderful he always has a smile on his face. He has taught my son how to play so many games! Coach Mike is wonderful as well. He gave my son a nickname that he now uses everywhere. They are a great bunch of coaches and we appreciate them.
Because both my parents want to go and they get a discounted rate for two adult members
Outside challenges
Swimming
Tubing
Boat rides
Crab hunting
Children’s Island is a really special camp and the counselors do a great job!

Love the wide variety of classes available, however would like to see a few more geared to older adults who have a harder time getting up and down from the floor.
We can often do the exercises, if they would only be cognizant to do all the floor exercises at the same time instead of getting up and down multiple times during a class.
