Member Testimonials
So much to offer and a real sense that the Y cares about community. Fantastic facility!
Wonderful facility with tremendously helpful staff!
The care instructor takes during lessons.
Jamie is the best!
Great bball program. Coach nick and coach mark are awesome
Spacious, plenty of equipment, good atmosphere.
We live in Ipswich, but our 4 yr old loves the Gloucester pool and has just started Saturday morning (9:45) swimming lessons. It's the one activity that we've enrolled him in that he actually talks about and wants to participate in. He LOVES the instructor - so thank you for being awesome!
Junior Celtics was a great first sport experience for my son. He had so much fun and looked forward to practice with his coaches every week! The only complaint from him was that practices were only once a week!
Very glad lap swim is all day.
Need more family swim time after school.
Great Instructors
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
Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, centrally located - good value...
Excellent staff. Plenty of programs and equipment. Extremely clean.
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.
The pool helps me to get healthy. I love the water aerobics. I get to socialize with friends and meet new people. I love the friends and families I meet. It is a brand new facility and we are blessed to have it so close to home. The splash pad is so nice for the community. It is centrally located near Market Basket and Urgent Care. The people are friendly and it is a real sense of community and support.
Overall I would recommend it to friends and family because I want them to get healthy, socialize and be more part of the community and meet new friends and have a sense of belonging to the community. For friends and family to be a part of something that is healthy and fun to do that they can enjoy individually or as a family.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of such a great YMCA and I t thank God for it since He built it and gave it to us after the worst of covid. This YMCA opened April 5th the day after Easter. Only God could do something Awesome like this out of covid. It is his Easter miracle. He pushed back Covid and gave us the YMCA to get us healthy. This is not for man's glory but God's and we need to give HIm glory for it . He used men to build it but He gave them the money to do it and the blessings to accomplish it. To God be the Glory great things He has done!
