The Lynch Van Otterloo YMCA has been outstanding in its welcoming community, its facilities, and its programs. I've been very happily surprised by how much it offers. So, naturally, I would be happy to recommend it to my friends.
The facility is very clean. There’s something there for all ages.
Very clean and well maintained!
Clean facilities, overall respectful members when I’m working out. Staff is usually present and helpful but not overbearing. Pleased with the response to the overwhelming amount of teens on the floor, will be interested to see how well it is implemented once winter comes. Love my Y!
Started the women and weights program with Abbie and it’s been great. I also swim during the winter and the pool is wonderful. Friendly staff, but not high pressure
It’s a wonderful place. Nice people and so many ways to get and stay fit
It's a clean, beautiful facility.
we are loving camp this year! We wish there was swim on Fridays, but other than that everything is great!
My son is very excited to go to camp each week. We love that you have different options each week. I signed him up for a different camp each week and he leaves and comes home excited with so much stories to tell. We are very grateful for you guys!

My son had a great time
Big, clean and good variety of classes. Nice weight circuit. Could use another pec fly machine- usually a wait. Friendly staff
Great facility! I love working out there
Friendly atmosphere / excellent set up / helpful staff.
This was a great week of camp for our 12-year-old, in the Rangers program. What a treat to take a boat to an island every day and spend time there. Besides during one very rainy day, they were able to participate in so many fun activities on the island. Our son liked the counselors and CITs too. Kasey Kennedy was very nice and great with communication before the camp.
We'll sign him up again for next summer. Thank you Children's Island!
I love everything about the building. And for the most part, most people are friendly.

This was our daughters first summer at the LVO YMCA camp and she loves it! The staff is great and we love the variation of camps - Day Camp, Gymnastics, Sports Mania, etc. Her last 3 weeks will be spent at Children's Island and she is so excited.
