Love the warmer pool!

It is a good place for anyone to stay healthy.

I have had a very positive experience so far, though I need to come in more often!

Great and friendly instructors and participants, as well as easy parking!

Coach Nick and his team are awesome! Great energy and patience with the kids.

It’s a great facility with opportunities for all types - staff are warm and welcoming and helpful

Nerijus is an absolutely amazing swim instructor! My daughter was nervous due to not having great experiences in the past, but we cannot say enough about him!

Gym is well equipped
Variety of classes

I'm giving a 10 for my son Weston's swim instructor John—he is incredible as are his lessons. He does a fantastic job at teaching him. I am super impressed and happy with instructor John.

I will say I'm not as happy/impressed with my 3 year old's swim class. I'd rate it a 3 or 4 max. There are far too many kids and she isn't learning much. She is afraid and they basically just keep her floating attached to the wall. I understand she's afraid/can be tough, but how else is she going to learn?

I think the Y is one of the best places to workout, bc of the variety of classes and weight machines. The pool is an extra added bonus!!

It's the best place to workout in town! I love everything about Lynch Van Otterloo. And Dario's is excellent.

But, since you asked and if I could please mention...

I work out on the fitless floor between 2:00 and 4:30 roughly 5 days a week. I understand encouraging young boys to include weight training in their daily lives, but... is there some way to teach these kids gym etiquette? Volunteers to work with them, something?

They are loud, sit in groups on benches/equipment in their phones while members are waiting, bump into people working out with weights probably because they have no clue what personal space is, they wear moccasins and crocs as athletic shoes, don't appear to know how to use fitness equipment, and on and on and on...

I'm sorry if I sound like a complaining old lady, which technically, I am, but I wish I could change my schedule to find time to workout when these kids weren't there. And I'm not sure it's their fault, they just don't know what gym etiquette is...

Thanks,

My kids love preschool open gym. The parent-child gymnastics is great, as well.

Swim instructor very likable and helpful to my toddler. she’s learned some basic skills while also incorporating songs/ music. My little one is less fearful of swimming on back, dunking in water, and overall is more comfortable in the water! Thank you Marblehead Y

Helpful and friendly instructors. My son has gained confidence in the water and is learning swimming skills.

John has been great with both my 5 and 10 year old kids!

Easily accessible and I’m always able to find a cardio machine or strength machine choices.

Addie is AMAZING!!!

Mr. Narius as a swim instructor!

Love swim instructors and lessons at Y. Just wish there were more family shower and changing room options at the LVO YMCA.

Our 4 year old boy has a lot of vigorous energy. The class ratio and the support staff on hand at the Marblehead location has made for a VERY successful experience for us, better than previous experiences elsewhere, even at other local YMCAs. In addition to all of this, there is one staff member in particular who has been so good to us. When I was chasing after my 4 year old energy ball, one of his teachers came over to us and said, "You know who else had a lot of energy when he was little, Michael Phelps!" Her words were like a balm to my frayed mother's nerves. <3

Great strategies to support nervous swimmers and instill a sense of fun

I love the Y.
It is well run, staff and the instructors are very helpful and professional.

Great facility

Everything is easy to access, equipment in good shape, great newly built vibe

#1The convenience of LVO location.
#2After almost a year away from the Y I was looking for a gentle entry to a fitness routine and saw the class (5/10 5:30 pm Restore, Align ) The instructor Sky, was knowledgeable and attentive to the participants’ expectations and skill level.

It is clean and physically the equipment is well maintained.

So much to offer all age groups!!
Awesome instructors.
