Right at this time we have restrictions; however, I do enjoy coming for my water exercises. Miss seeing all the smiling faces at the front desk. They are all covered with masks. I DO believe that this is a good idea.
Lap swimming is great!
Good facilities. Lots of options for exercising.
While I'm a Total Body Conditioning junkie (Dan and Rowan are the best! They made working out fun again for me!), it's the only group exercise class I go to, it's hard to not recognize the variety of exercise classes that are offered at the Downtown Y.
Their personal trainers/wellness coaches are amazing! Hidden gems at the YMCA, truly. Specifically Dan and Rowan. I personal train with Rowan three days a week and originally started when I became pregnant with my now two-year-old daughter, as a way to make sure I was working out safely while I was pregnant. I'm still doing it today - haven't been able to give it up. Strength training is my favorite, particularly Olympic lifting, something I never did until I started personal training!
I am in the best shape of my life and the strongest I have ever been!
I like to swim and to use the track.

The Y does good things for me and good things for others!
I like that you reopened as soon as possible. I like the freedoms of the men's fitness center at the YMCA on 20th Street. Overall I'm pleased with the services provided. I'll be even happier when the dry and wet saunas reopen and the single whirlpool baths can be used again.Thanks, and God bless. Sincerely Matthew M.
YMCA is a family organization Waltham is committed to members.
I like the friendly staff and available workout equipment!!
Love the yoga classes but really miss the barre and pilates.
I love the on line app. I am grateful to be able to swim or join a class as my time allows. It also makes it easy to cancel when I need to. Masks are worn when not in exercise mode and social distancing is respected. Grateful to be able to exercise safely.
I love your total body conditioning classes your spinning classes I wish you had 9:00 10:00 spinning class. Your instructors are really really really good and know their stuff if any other time I needed help they've always come to my rescue love the Y.
Great staff!
The downtown Y is a friendly place to workout and the instructors and staff are great.
I appreciate the precautions the Y is taking to keep everyone safe and well.
I like the atmosphere that everyone is included, no matter your age, size, color, ability. You're welcome. The variety is welcome.
very clean and safeguards to covid19 are in place
We are able to chose to do our own program or go to class and have the instructor help to keep you in shape. They are also trying to keep the facility clean and safe for everyone. Be sure to brain and wear your mask as much as possible.
Hours open, body pump classes, friends,staff especially Stacy at desk downtown.
Everybody there is super nice and helpful. Accommodating of all fitness levels. I like that people come to the downtown Y to work out and not to show off their latest workout clothes. It’s a great place to work out and the trainers are phenomenal!!
Great programmed workouts, friendly front desk staff, screening as you enter building, and ample resources to clean workout equipment/hands.
the staff is friendly and helpful. TBC class is top notch. Dan and Rowan really know what they are doing and are safety oriented. This class is for all levels.
I love the level of knowledge exhibited by trainers, such as Dan Kohler. Also the TBC program is great with both Dan and Rowan. There is really something for every level of fitness.
I like that I know I’ll socially distance in the pool by reserving a lane.
Wide variety of classes at various times of day. Taking COVID 19 safety issues seriously.
