Member Testimonials

Fully outside, pool available, there is great camaraderie at Camp Spindrift.

Camp Spindrift’s activities has my kiddo active and healthy all summer! She is also working on social skills and making friends :) thank you!

I was happy my child was having fun in a structured environment while I was at work.

Very good program

Friendly staff. Understanding. Motivating.

Everything!

The staff is great, and the facilities have always been clean and well managed.

But with the new investment in better facilities lately, I would pick the Y over a gym membership any day.

I would like early hours ( I am an early bird) but things are good.

All three of my children have been taking swim lessons at the Cape Ann Y the past 2 summers. We enjoy the small class sizes. My middle child has severe anxiety and sensory issues. I truly appreciate how sensitive Jamie was to his needs and the way he carefully included and encouraged my reluctant swimmer.

My daughter loves the swim lessons. It's a low key no pressure environment where she can learn to play and have fun while also learning new skills and safety.

Convenience, clean, new, friendly staff, good exercise classes, great smoothies at the café, etc

First time kids truly loved camp! We wanted to continue, but you did not have capacity. It would be great if non-college bound staff were in place in future years to increase camper numbers and summer memories.

I love going to the YMCA here in Glouceseter. It is such a nice new place to visit, the building is new and beautiful, the staff is always wonderful and welcoming. They always smile and have something nice to say when I arrive. The equipment is all new and there is so much to choose from, I don't know how anyone could need any more from a gym. I would recommend the Y to anyone who wants to begin a fitness program. There are also many opportunities to attend so many different types of classes. I wish I had more time to take advantage of these.

The facility has all the equipment anyone could wish for and plus!

I love the Glen Macleod YMCA. The facility and staff are great.

The facility is outstanding and has everything a health conscious individual could want. The only reason I didn't give a 10 rating is because, as a person with a physical disability that only allows me to do the butterfly stroke in the swimming pool, it's hard for me to share a lane and many times I've felt obligated to give up my lane before my routine is completed. The butterfly Stroke is not conducive to two people in a lane, as this is executed on ones back, as you know. I've tried, but I always end up making contact with my fellow swimmer, because you cant see in front of you. Also, they seem to close down lanes an awful lot and often without warning until the last minute, again before routines are completed. I understand the pool is meant for everyone, but would it be possible to issue a disability tag, or lane marker for those that are limited in their style and motion. I have a bunch of titanium in my neck and lower back. The steel in my neck prevents me from lifting my head while doing the crawl and other swimming styles. Some people have very specific times they can exercise in the pool too, but I understand there's very little that can be done about that. All in all, I'm very pleased with the weight equipment and other exercise equipment provided by the Y. I think this new facility is one of the best things to happen in Gloucester in years. Good job!
