Member Testimonials

Great facilities. Friendly staff

Coaching/staff. Kids learned a lot and had a ton of fun.

We love open swim and swimming lessons… multiple ages at a time is great, my kids can take lessons at the same time.

Very friendly staff!

We’ve done sports at the Y for years. This was the first year I was completely happy and so were my kids. Coach Nick organized an amazing basketball program with the Celtics, constantly communicated with the parents, gave amazing encouragement to all the kids including the kids who were just learning and made sure everyone had fun. We signed up for the travel basketball after just because I knew he was going to have a part of it and my kids love him.

Beautiful spaces, friendly staff and atmosphere, UV in the air system, inexpensive.

One improvement would be some Precor EFX 556 or 576 ellipticals - I don't like the existing Precor ellipticals, and the Matrix ones are OK but not great.

The coaches are outstanding! Especially Nick and Mark! Their leadership is the main reason we pursue Cape Ann Y sports.

I love the enthusiasm the instructors have for the students. I also really appreciate how attune their are to the kids needs.

We love the swim classes! Lisa is so good with our son who is finally gaining confidence in the pool after failed parent child classes we switched him to preschool swim and he loves going now! We have noticed the past few weeks a lack of lifeguard supervision. Last week a child in my sons class had her bubble fall off jumping into the pool and another parent ended up jumping in the pool as both of the lifeguards were not near our side of the pool during busy swim class times, during this time both sides of the pool are being used for childrens swim class. That would be my only complaint

The programs are very well organized and the coaches are a great support to the children in the sports activities.

great place to stay healthy

I really like it. The new facility is beautiful and the pool is really great. I’m able to look on the app to find times when not very many people will be there, so I feel safer. I just started using the virtual Y for tai chi and I really like that, too. Also it was really easy to join and I appreciate the reasonable price of membership.

Great new facility with a great price

Great for exercise, socialization, and endorphins

The new Y is bright, sunny, clean and offers several ammenities for everyone

It's a beautiful new building with lots of options and the staff is so helpful and friendly....

I would recommend the Cape Ann Y to family and friends. It is clean, seems to be well run and offers an array of classes for all levels. The website is user friendly making it easy to find what you need any given day. My experiences with the fitness staff and trainer for an orientation session have been positive.

I would like to see an online a graph which shows what the busiest times are each day so I can avoid those times. Supermarkets do this so I know it is possible.

Great people work there. Place is very very clean. Nice new equipment just a beautiful atmosphere I’ve been a member at one Ymca or another for 35 years and this is the best one

I am so impressed by all of the talented instructors! Each instructor brings enthusiasm and skill to every class. The talent level of the instructors is amazing. The classes are challenging and I appreciate the abundance of options. Participating in classes has helped me on my health journey and I'm grateful.
