Member Testimonials
Friendly, supportive staff!!
The staff are so friendly, and there is so much variety of things to do to keep fit. Plus, they will work with you to get you a membership price that works for your income.
Swim is great. Instructors are supportive and knowledgeable.
Its a great facility and it permeates the entire community
An amazing start
I just wish we can change up the music on a more regular basis. Playlists get old quick
Perhaps Sirious or Pandora?

The staff is attentive and friendly. The new building is beautiful and clean.
personel attention to specific needs.
The best swim program! Lisa is amazing! My 5 year old son was completely petrified to get into the pool so we did a couple of private lessons with her first and she had him in the water at the very first one, which is something both myself and his father could not get him to do. He’s now in one of the group classes and absolutely LOVES it. He’s doing so well in such a short amount of time, we could not be happier with the program! I recommend the swim lessons to everyone. We also started the parent and me classes with my one year old with Stephanie and she is really great too!
the snow day program (when it actually runs)
the staff at the programs are great
It’s clean, friendly, spacious & well-equipped....
I have had a YMCA membership for several years and now, as a fulltime employee my family membership is free. Employment with the Y is becoming a family tradition, all three of my daughters have worked for the Y, and now I am extremely blessed to say that I also work for the YMCA! The Y is not only an asset to its members, its community, and its employees, its also a huge asset to our youth! Becoming a member of the YMCA has always been a true value to our family; from the kids walking down to Middle Street for a free swim session, to the oldest child working on the Clean Team in the summer, the younger two becoming lifeguards at the YMCA, the youngest working out and training for an upcoming softball season, to me now having the opportunity to utilize my business and education background to help the youth in the Gloucester and Rockport Communities!
The privilege of witnessing and even taking part in some of our successful community programs like, The Giving Tree that provides holiday gifts to the underprivileged kids in our community, The Afterschool Tutoring Program that helps and encourages students with their school assignments, The Teen Center that provides a place for our teens to be in community with each other in a clean, safe, and encouraging environment, Summer Camps that provide children with summer days of amazing experiences, life lessons, and memories that will last a life time.
I am beyond thankful to the YMCA, what it has and will continue to do for the benefit of our communities that it serves.

Amazing facility ... well run by a dedicated staff, great equipment, convenient location. A jewel in our Cape Ann community.
Nice place to work out.
Great club for family
Eye cannot say it enough times the staff the staff the staff. any body can have a basketball or swimming pool but only at the Glen T Macleod do you have the coaches, instructors and lifeguards to go higher than the bar, you've raised the bar for other Y staffs
Great new facility. Really enjoying it.
Please consider adding more squat racks to the weight room.
Friendly, helpful staff and members; Clean facilities; little touches, i.e. clothing cleaner pickup/delivery; bathing suit dryer... Definitely would (and have) recommended to friends.

My child has learned a great deal with the acquatic program, at his pace. He loves swimming and is looking forward to passing his swimming test. He needs instructors who can find alternative ways to teach him about important techniques and their contexts. I would love to discuss that with the head of the program.
