Member Testimonials
The Demakes Y in Lynn is the epitome of well run Athletic Complex. From the moment you enter the building the front desk staff is genuine and friendly. The lifeguards are vigilant and Andrea's staff is spot on with all of their duties. I have been involved w/ aquatics for 50 years. I would like to think that I know a little about the effort that is put forth by a pool staff. This staff is excellent. They want you to enjoy your time in the building. I travel a bit to come to Demakes and the trip is always worth it. I'm an old school guy and sometimes hard to please. My congrats to Andrea and her staff. They do it right !!
I love the Lynn Y and its people. The classes are great, my favorite is Steve's Tuesday and Thursday 6 AM training classes.
Constructive critique: I wish you had more than 1 bench press machine (which is by far the most popular upper body machine in every gym) and I wish you had even 1 seated shoulder press machine. Free weight bench presses can be dangerous without a spotter. Not a practical alternative to any bench press machines.
The cleanliness of the gym , the staff are super friendly and helpful.
Offers a lot of activities for kids to keep them off the street. Pleasant front desk staff. I really like the fact it opens at 5.00 am to work out

Love my exercise class , staff , swimming lessons, facility
Great facilities, friendly and helpful staff.
Very hands on and interactive with the kids. I feel like my children have learned how to swim better in just a few classes at the Demakes YMCA as opposed to several sessions at the Peabody YMCA!!
The teachers are very kind and my kids are learning faster than at their prior swimming class.
Wonderful facility. Pleasant staff to greet you at the front desk, helpful with information. Love the swim instructors! My daughter went from not knowing how to swim to swimming in 9ft of water within a year!
Beautiful aquatics facility. Bummer that the sauna and steam room are constantly broken.
Staff is very helpful. Pool is amazing and machines and weights are great.
I love the space that’s available and machines.
Drew is a great teacher and all the other instructors are so sweet. The splashe pad is a hit too!
Pre school program is wonderful. It builds a good foundation for kindergarten. The athletic programs are varied for all age groups. Coach Michael Griffin and Coach Chris T. are outstanding instructors enabling the participants to have fun while learning the fundamentals and confidence to gain expertise. They are role models. Kudos as well to Aquatic coach Victor.
