We have felt welcome every time we come to the Y. People are so nice. After our exercise routines, we sit for a while watching mothers and fathers and tiny little kids pass by. It is very refreshing. Thank you.

Love the Y - I was never a gym person until I came here! Cleanest and most modern gym I've ever been to in MA!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The Y has something for everyone. No matter what your age or physical needs, the Y is there to help attain your goals.

I am a senior woman. After recovering from a serious illness I decided it was time to DO something. My goal is to be the best I can be as I age in this busy world.

At the Y, I found classes to suit my needs so I could realistically attain my goals.
More importantly, I found classes full of like minded, friendly woman who share my desire to
“ be the best that they can be.”

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I like my Y and definitely recommend it, but I would like to point to some issue. Cleanness. Lately the facility becomes less and less clean, especially floors in group exercise rooms. It is not just my opinion but a collective observation.

I take only group exercises. All instructors seems to be great especially Lisa, Peggy and Stacy. Big thank you to them!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

As a seven year member, this Y meets my work-out and social needs. I am retired so I jokingly say that the group exercise classes are my job! The excellence of our Y's instructors and the variety of classes available challenges me and provides variety. There are always changes being made to upgrade what's available. Recently, I began some personal training which has proven to be very beneficial especially as it is designed to my specific needs. I enjoy seeing and even hearing the little ones and the cafe has delicious food options . If I have any criticism, the seating area for the cafe could be more welcoming and comfortable with frequent cleanups. I mentioned the sociability and have made good work-out friends. And lastly, consistent exercise has certainly improved and maintained my health.

Love the classes!

One request….I take many aqua fitness classes in the big pool and the instructors have to move the lane markers while the lifeguards watch from the sidelines. Why can’t the lifeguards get the pool ready in advance?

Hi,

The Y offers a lot and the showers are great!

My only complaint is that I have repeatedly attempted to sign up for one class, Cardio kickboxing with Donna. But once again the same group always has the class filled the very day it opens, that is a clique. If you are going to offer that caliber of a class to the public, make it just that...public, please don't allow the same group to monopolize the class.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Hi,

I love the Y! My family uses it very frequently. My only piece of critical feedback (I have so much positive feedback!) is that I think 3 years old should be the maximum age for the gross motor room. There is a huge difference between the way 1&2 year olds (the majority of users) and 5 year olds play. The room is more suited for 0-3 year olds and this would make it a safer environment for them.

Thanks!
