Member Testimonials
A variety of classes, clean facility and good instructors.
Great people, great facility, and lots of great classes.
I like coming to the Y as I can exercise at my own pace. The staff is friendly and respectful. The facility is very clean and well maintained.
Socially wonderful resource for older and younger adults alike. Physically, a place to nurture health in yourself…and share with others!!
Clean facility, friendly staff
So many great classes! Such caring, attentive, knowledgeable staff!!
Great facility and wonderful instructors. I feel right at home there, and have met some nice people in classes. Also it is spotless, and usually not as crowded as Beverly.
The new Y is a wonderful facility for all ages. Staff are pleasant and friendly.
Great facility, great staff. Well equipped, clean, excellent hours.
well run..good staff....clean
Attractive facility, lots of equipment, convenient schedule of classes.
Signing up for classes can be a problem. My favorite class is Pilates Fusion with Erica, and the class is always full. Often, if you don't sign up within a few minutes (11:30-11:35) the class is full and the waitlist of full! Perhaps a bigger room would help?
The instructors are so attentive to the kids. Just a great atmosphere at the facility with everyone so helpful, courteous and happy!
I can only speak to the young children's program. The entire program has improved since Kayla Ferrara was put in charge. The teachers are well trained, the lessons are well structured, and above all, the teachers are excellent. They watch each child not only for how they are doing with the instruction - they watch each child for safety. I recently saw Kaitlin stay with a child who was tired as she finished a lap, while also keeping her eye on the other children. Recently saw Emma hold a child who was tired, scared and crying, as she guided her back to the edge. The child then began to feel better and went back in ready for more instruction. These are little children and sometimes, after a whole day at school are not at their best. Swimming is a very energetic activity, and breathing - or more to the point, the timing while learning when to breath during a stroke can be exhausting.
I am happy to see that safety and fun are their first priority. Following on this is excellent swim instruction.
The gymnastics team at the cape Ann ymca is the only reason I kept the YMCA membership for my family. My daughter gets so much out of each class. The staff is knowledgeable, hands on , polite, helps set and achieve goals (even in a toddler class) they promote safe and challenging play. They create a new obstacle coarse each class to create new challenges and more creativity for the kids. They seem genuinely happy to be there and help my child grow mentally and physically. My family almost left the YMCA because we were so disappointed in other areas of the Y and how it has changed for the worse but after much thought and watching how much my child has grown and truly enjoys her gymnastics class we realized this class.is not only challenging her and helping her achieve new milestones but they have become her friends. She looks forward to that class so much and honestly suffers the weeks she is unable to attend. HUGE thank you to the gymnastics staff for being so amazing.

clean beautiful facility...love the pool, friendly staff, convenient location
It’s such a nice inviting environment with so many great activities & exercise options. NOTE: Don’t care for weight machines facing each other so you are staring face to face with others as you’re trying to concentrate while working out.
Great staff, amazing programs!
Great facility and friendly staff
Great equipment, facility and people. It's a nice place to go to feel connected and relieve the daily stress and grind. There are plenty of programs, of all types. Such a beneficial resource for the Cape Ann community.
The Junior Celtics was a great introduction to basketball and team sports in general for our little 3 year old. His ability to listen to the coaches and follow instructions was awesome to observe as well as his enthusiasm and confidence that continued to grow each week!
Clean, friendly, great classes
I love all the different types of classes and the weight room area and the pool is so nice! I just love the new YMCA we are all so lucky to have this new beautiful building. The staff is always so nice an accommodating. Cassie is the best!
I thought that the Celtics program was wonderful, Austin did a great job running such a large program on his first year. Having the championship during school vacation was a little tough, maybe change that date for next year? I find the open gym and open swim schedule esp during vacation weeks to be very hard to understand. I wish they would have a special vaca week print up online so that we could utilize more of the Y during that time. Overall, it has been great!
It's clean and bright and spacious. Plenty of room for everyone to find something they're looking for. Also I am so enjoying Pickleball!! SO FUN and the folks I'm meeting are fun and friendly.
