Member Testimonials

Our (almost) 3 year old son had a wonderful experience in the spring session. The instructor was so helpful and made sure to circulate and teach all the kids in the class. We are very happy with our son’s swimming lessons!

Great space! I have enjoyed getting my laps in! Guards have been attentive and friendly!

Everything! My children are happier, healthier, and hardier because of the ELC and Kids Club!!

Everything

Well trained staff, very clean locker rooms, great variety of equipment, classes, excellent coffee shop

I gave a 10 because the YMCA provides outstanding service. The staff are kind, professional, and always supportive. It’s a great place for families and the community.

I am so happy to have joined the Y which is right near my house. So no excuse not to get up and go. It's a beautiful facility with so many different options for a great work out. You can attend Bollywood dance and Dance 45 which I did and they were wonderful. I also used the treadmill and elliptical while watching TV and the time passed. Also I used the different universal type machines and they are great. A very nice guy named Ashe I think his name is helped me connect my phone app for Life fitness to the machines to keep track of my work out and he was so patient. Everyone is super friendly and helped my friend sign in as a guest of mine. She liked the Y so much that she is looking into joining in Newton and the folks at the front desk called the 2 NewtonYs to see about her options. Super nice, super great classes and work outs and everyone is so nice and friendly. I haven't even tried the pool yet and I love to swim. Thanks Y for being there. Cynthia C.

Great after school program

Great piece of mind knowing that my daughter is in such good hands! Thank you!!!

I love our YMCA! The instructors are truly exceptional!! It is one of my happy places, with outstanding opportunities to focus on wetness! I take Sarah McCormack’s classes, and thoroughly appreciate the joy and energy that she applies to every moment of EVERY class. I feel grateful every day when I get to attend her classes! Also, Cara Whelan’s yoga classes are blissful and restorative and she brings so much light and lift to the experience. They’re healing and transformative and her genuine care throughout the practice is simply a gift. With people leading members at this level, our Y is exceptional and a joy to belong to!

Love the ELC and all the options for our members

Very clean, lots of classes, nice ppl

The morning weekday staff are so pleasant and welcoming (John and the Jeff). The group exercise classes are excellent. In particular, all of Donna Miller’s classes have the biggest impact. She is a huge asset that has completely transformed my motivation and fitness level. She is the main reason I will stay at the Y over joining another local gym such as Orange Theory.
The sauna is a wonderful amenity but since the renovation, the door doesn’t close properly so it rarely heats to the appropriate temperature which is an ongoing frustration.
Beyond that, I feel the inter-generational camaraderie which occurs organically is another reason I would recommend our Y.

Great staff,good equipment

Great quality organization and facility. Wonderful people.

I like the pool hours, the treadmills and the bicycle machines and the rowing machines.

Good equipment

All are A+

The only regret is that we had not joined sooner.
The feeling of inclusivity and comfort helps us keep our exercise goals real, from the machines to the classes and the pool too!
The staff has always been around, helpful and professional .

Good facility

Clean
Great new locker rooms
Friendly staff

My Aaron always feels happy with all of you! Thank you !

It's a welcoming space with lots of options.
My one point of feedback is that there are often people talking on their phones in the gym area, despite the signs. I'd suggest putting up more signs, such as in front of the treadmills or on each treadmill, and more throughout the weights area. Thanks!

It provides a wide variety of team exercises and has a pool

Convenience. Like the yoga classes

Great location, perfect for families or individuals. We love it!
