Member Testimonials
Great services and great staff..everything one would need for health and well being. I am enjoying the Y so much and very affordable.
It's modern, exercise equipment are well organized and the staff are very helpful.
I have belonged to Y's for over 50 years, and this is the best one I've ever belonged to. Not only are the equipment and facilities top-notch, but the staff are the best I've ever experienced as well.
Nice people. Good equipment
New equipment and convenience
It is a huge positive for cape ann in so many ways!!
Just a great place
good programs and teachers
Pleasant, light-filled building, a lot of older people like me building fitness, good classes ( especially Cassie’s!), good equipment. Sometimes the music is a little abrasive lately, but I had enjoyed the classic rock.
The new machines are great! Staff are friendly

Everyone is very nice, and very helpful. Love the egym
I very much enjoy the Gloucester Y- friendly and professional staff and interesting and varied programming for all ages. The Gloucester Y is a vibrant addition to the community!
The Cape Ann YMCA is an incredibly welcoming, diverse, supportive, cross-generational community organization. We are all working side-by-side to take better care of ourselves; and Gloucester is so much better for it!
Fit for life classes have changed my life! Great instructors ! Friendly comfortable place
Great people, great classes and equipment and a positive environment
Great facility, very affordable, and genuinely innovative. The new eGym setup is fantastic for busy people who want a complete full body workout. Truly impressive. Whoever brought this in deserves major recognition.

The organization and the many activities the kids do after school. Staff keeps the kids very active and organized so they can let off steam after a long school day
Convenient , well kept equipment
Very structured and organize always plenty of staffing my kids love going to the Ymca and that makes me very happy
I have been a member since the last several years of the Y being in downtown Gloucester. The new Y is a big physical improvement, without losing the friendly help and community-wanted offerings it always had.
I find water exercise very helpful. The pool having steps to get in & out, having lots of available "open swim" times as well as aqua fitness classes, and a well outfitted locker room make water exercise more possible for me.
In recent years, I have attended yoga classes. I am able to continue the practicing at home when I cannot get to the Y. This has also improved my health. Jasmine, Kirsty, Wyndee, and Cookie have taught me a lot. I hope I can continue to learn from them in the future.
It's easier to get to the Y from Rockport (I don't drive) since CATA added the "2A" or additional business loop bus that does a smaller Gloucester loop. It times well with the Eastern Ave bus to & from Rockport. It streamlines getting from Rockport to & from the Y without a car.
Nice people. Great pool facilities. Always clean
Classes are excellent! Clean, bright facility. Helps me stay in shape and healthy!
Fabulous facility. Wonderful people. Clean
Facility offers a wide range of equipment and programs. The space is clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The 10:30 class every day titled Fit for Life is the best ever! It is important because it is offered every weekday at the same time so it can be on your schedule and if you can't make it one day there is always tomorrow. No dealing with your calendar! Plus, it is significant that the same theme is taught by a different experienced instructor. Each class is unique!
Gloucester is my summer address, but I also live in Brookline. I have gone to every Y in my area to sell this idea! No takers yet but that is their mistake and a loss for local Y users!
