I love the place...too many activities to utilize, for me. I'm content at 64 yrs old to walk a mile and row for 20 minutes. A great facility!
Very clean alot of activities and great staff.
The entire facility is very clean and the staff are so friendly and helpful
The machines are state of the art
All
Lots of day/time to choose from
My son's instructor has such a kind gentle manner about him and I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my son's swimming confidence in just a couple weeks. I wish I could remember his name but I am grateful that he is our teacher!
We love the quality Of the equipment and the environment is super friendly, staff is amazing and the swimming classes I can tell it’s a beautiful moment between child and parent that I really enjoy
Mike is amazing with the kids, he is great at engaging their minds as well as getting them physically active
Great instructors and group classes
People at front deck are very friendly and helpful, yoga classes are very good
There is a good variety and a brand new facility.
i am happy with the services provided
PLEASE bring back the cleaning wipes. The paper towels and alcohol spray are not effective amd it creates a lot more waste with the paper towels. It's also very bad for the spin bikes which people spray directly to ensure it's clean. The bikes will start to rust. If it's more expensive create a fund for it, I know I'd contribute to it.
I'd like to see more variety in groupex. Lots of spin and zumba at the same times everyday. For people that have a consistent workout window of time this makes it tough to mix it up during the week. Peabody and East Boston have a great mix each day.
I understand the issues with the AC in the groupex and spin room. It would help if hanging wall fans were added to the spin room. The back of the room gets absolutely stifling causing people to leave class as it legitimately is too hot at 73-79 degrees for a class like that. It's not healthy and it's a serious risk for passing out.
Personal trainer, Andrew needs coaching on how training women should be the same as training men. He consistently makes comments I find offensive which suggest women are not strong. Women don't bulk up like men, doesn't mean we can't lift heavier weihhts. I'd expect Andrew to ask questions of a new client, whether female or male, to guage fitness level instead of judging based on appearance. I had to stop going to his program because of this.
I think it’s a wonderful place for individuals to go and workout, especially great for family’s.
My children love being part of the community.
They enjoy the environment and especially the pool. They ask all the time to eat at bistro that is located in the lobby which is a wonderful addition.
I like the Sunday 9:00am class
The fact that the aerobic area is so large & bright.
The Lynn Y is spacious with plenty of equipment.
A Friendly staff and is clean.
I joined only one week ago, so I have only used the facility twice so far. I love all of the options available in a clean, safe and welcoming environment. Next week I hope to be able to try some group classes and take advantage of the free personal fitness consultation.
Everyone that I have met has been incredibly friendly and helpful. The equipment new and first rate and easy to operate; the programs well run.
It’s clean , the gym has everything and more the pool and hot room is the best bonus
It's a beautiful facility, lots of machines, lots of opportunities for group classes. Just wish there were more parking but I realize there's not much you can do about that.
I love the Demakes Y!
pickle ball
The two things that keep me going regularly to the Y are the facilities and the friendly atmosphere.
This facility looks brand new and it has great equipment. The staff is super friendly and polite.
The facility is very nice. However, the ventilation and/or plumbing in the men’s locker room needs to be corrected as there seems to be a sewer odor problem in there.
Love the Sunday Pump class at 9 am and pickleball lessons on Monday day. I like walking the track also..
The only problem lately is the exercise rooms are way to hot...you need to fix that and the gym has been hot also..
My kids recently started taking Ninja Warrior lessons and they absolutely love it. The instructors are incredible friendly and my kids feel challenges while having lots of fun and exercise. I would recommend these lessons to anyone whose kids are often climbing and jumping all over the house!
The y has all sorts of things for seniors.
Small class size
Lots of times available
Friendly staff
It’s clean has all kind of machines and classes
Staff are very helpful and friendly
The trainers and staff are great. Very comfortable talking to them, knowledgeable, they remember you week to week, very comfortable setting. Highly recommend people who don’t “like gyms” to workout at demakes!
I love the Ymca it’s close enough to walk
