Member Testimonials
In addition to the gym the Y offers multiple yoga classes at no additional cost.
Awesome facility, especially the pool, and great staff.
The membership woman, Ansley was awesome and gave me detailed info on how to use every part of the y for my family
Teachers are great
Though I don't go enough, I find the classes are good and the people working there are friendly and helpful.
My child is in kindergarten and always requests we pick him up later because he is having so much fun with friends and staff.
My Grandchildren adore this program, teachers and facility. They look forward to coming every Saturday and I personally am looking forward to being the Team Grandma when the time comes. We actively recruit our family members to join and love to share photos on social media of how happy they are after class.
The instructor is great with getting the girls to listen. My daughter loves Laura.
Divina adores gymnastics! It has been a. Challenge for us to fit in this year, but we are so glad we decided to join. The only thing is that there has been zero communication about dates when there is no class (for vacation etc) and no communication from instructors in general. It would be great to feel more connected and hear from the Y. We are a YMCA family but Cape Ann is our home, so we don’t hear the news from anyone- I feel a bit out of the loop!
Very good everything
- Well organized, practices run smoothly and are very productive
- Jess maintains good, regular communication with families
- My daughter is challenged/growing at her current level in a motivating, healthy environment
- She’s having fun, loves going to practice, and comes home happy
Great swim instructors, progression of skills and comfort in the water
The confidence and poise and commitment you teach to the kids.
I feel is a affordable safe place for our family to go and partake of group exercises , swim ,and other sports.
Everyone there is very friendly and accommodating. I absolutely have and will recommend the Y.
Very friendly and helpful front desk staff . Clean and pleasant atmosphere is very evident. So glad I re-joined the Y , after 9 years of being away.
I had a great time playing pickleball with some family friends, and I am the Sports Director for our Cape Ann location...so obviously I'm giving Beverly a great review.
Would definitely come back...as long as your staff makes a visit to Cape Ann!
Friendly and helpful staff. Well -organized programs. Good facilities
The YMCA is an egalitarian community, offering excellent facilities and programs for people of all ages. Everywhere it is evident that the entire Y team is dedicated to helping people grow from their earliest years into their golden age with healthy habits, consideration for others, positive attitudes, and with a deep and abiding sense of responsibility to self and the community. The Y staff are consistently upbeat and inspiring in their service. The YMCA is a vital leader in every community it serves.
Its a friendly place to go and exercise. There is a wide range of machines to use exercise all parts of your body. Lee is my PT and is wonderful to work with.
Great staff, wide variety of of programs and exercise options.
Great staff
Great fitness choices
I think it's great. You offer wonderful programs and have the latest workout equipment and an ample amount. You offer child care which I have heard is wonderful. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. I find that all of the employees are very nice and always there to help and advise.
Great facility that's family friendly and for all ages. Great staff and instructors.
There are so many options for fitness, trying a new activity, family activities etc. The environment is cheerful and spacious and meets all my fitnes needs.
Best place to play Pickleball
It’s for everything! Love the variety of classes.
I do wish there were more 1 hour long classes versus 45 minutes. Other than that, love everything!
My 3 year old thinks its the most fun part of his week! We love Lauralea!
I love the coaching staff. We tried other gyms before the Y and they lacked good coaching. I see my child receiving individual instructions and feed back here. She has excelled since joining the program

Great place to exercise. Friendly, capable employees. Awesome zumba classes.
