We had a horrible afternoon at the pool last year. Pool staff lacked autism awareness. They were reluctant to listen. Lifeguard kept yelling, “Yo! Yo!” It has been nearly a year & in spite of paying for a family membership each month, we have only been back to the pool once. Considering switching to another location. Demakes used to be our favorite place. In addition, 10-14 year olds are often running around upstairs & goofing around on the equipment unsupervised. Too many staff members at the front desk. Need more employees walking through the facility to keep an eye on the kids. They play chase all over the second floor.
The employees are super , equipment is great, clean !
I like the classes offered.
The instructors are wonderful and I really love the classes I’m taking. It’s a great facility and the people at the desk very friendly.
Great class schedules. Group leaders are very in tune with group and their specific needs.
Bad equipment
The staff is welcoming and passionate about what they do.
The staff creates a friendly atmosphere the minute you walk in!
I like the fact that they have all up-to-date equipment, a swimming pool, steam and sauna, lockers and that is open at 5 AM in the morning. This way, I can get my workout in early and don’t have to worry about exercising after a long hard day at work.
Wonderful experience great people
Better communication (via email, synched with website info) with members when there's changes to the open court schedules because of classes and special events. Website often doesn't have the most updated info.
I love do my cardio and workout in YMCA of Lynn but I have to move to Lynnfield because there are a lot younger guys that interrupt the area and many times you can’t use any machine cause they are playin or using for a long time. Please try to solve this situation because that is not representing YMCA. Thanks.
I like most of the classes but they need more yoga. The current "chair yoga" is more of a weight class now.
The family locker room constantly has teenagers in rooms primarily doing the hinge they shouldn’t
The gym equipment is very poor. The gym room is humid and crowded. Not enough machines and missing essential machines (no chest fly/rear delt, only one leg extension) and the ellipticals are too bouncy, stride should be long and not tall. Also very dirty. When I wipe the dumbbells before use the wipe turns brown. Very unhappy and looking to change to a gym with versatile and clean equipment.
I have visited Demakes YMCA for the last five summers. I so enjoy my stay in Lynn for two weeks or so. The front desk staff members are inviting and always offer me a fair rate. Thank you!
I highly recommend this YMCA. I like all the classes they offered. All the instructors are great. The gym is clean
Wonderful
Very good
Love the chair yoga with Cheryl K who is so professional and expert at instruction in these classes.
Friendly and helpful staff, clean environment, many options, many free options with membership, childcare, improving needed parking spaces, many community free events, no issues when needing to switch payment cards, affordable to those with low income, great hours
No sports, not outside activities very disappointing. So expensive for nothing i rather have them at home
I play pickleball the nets are broken and we are down to 2 balls for very little money you could fix it but you don’t……so I have been going to the other metro north Ys
Melhor atendimento pessoas simpáticas e educadas
I like the diversity of classes, the friendliness of the staff and my classmates.
I’d recommend the YMCA to anyone because it truly has everything you could want under one roof. The instructors are excellent, the classes are varied, and the programs serve people of all ages. They offer child care, community programs, a café during certain hours, and a welcoming common room. It’s a wonderful community resource, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed going there. For the value you get with your membership, you really can’t beat it. Check it out — I believe you can do a two‑week trial and then decide if it’s right for you
The Y has plenty to offer and as I and my family and friends age, I feel it is a good place to frequent and keep mobile. I love the classes and looking forward to more yoga classes being introduced.
Clean and friendly team
I love the Lynn Y except for the fact that the exercise equipment does NOT get cleaned (treadmills, stairmasters etc). They are caked with dirt and grim especially the lower fronts of them. Please look closely and see what I mean and please find a way to clean them regularly - simply wiping them down every day. It's really too bad with all that great, new equipment that is now really quite disgusting. Please make that a priority.
Classes could be better
I think the YMCA is a great place for families and children, but the cost of classes is too high for my family and we are having a hard time paying for it. I would appreciate it if you could consider discounts for low-income families like us.
Very clean, staff is excellent and parking is easy during mid day! i love alan as fitness instructor, loved when he fills in- best class i've ever done! wish he could consistently do that class.
Really love the BUILD class thursdays 9:30am would love to see the same class added on Mondays and same time. The instructor Adam who has been subbing this summer is excellent!!!
I would like the previous pool policy reinstated. Both pools should be open each day when the building opens. This was the way that it had been done in the past.
Hold member parents accountable for unsupervised children
later hours for summer and after school program without paying additional fees for

Wonderful classes! Everyone is so helpful and I love how big the gym is
I like everything about it. Gaby is always happy to go to camp.She’s been exploring a lot of things and she says that she likes the art and crafts.
Make class registration easier
I’ve been a member for almost 40 years! I enjoy the exercise classes and the other members are friendly. It’s a great physical and social experience.
Professionalism.
There are no classes between 9 - 11 Monday Tuesday Wednesday or Friday Classes are focused on older community during those hours I have asked numerous times for additional classes in the morning and have been told that there is no budget for it
Very nice and well organized facility. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Has all the amenities to do a well-balanced workout.
Have more pool time
Peyton reports she loves summer camp so far.
