Convenient class times
The Demakes Y is a hidden gem, truly. Very much appreciate this wonderful resource and all the people who run it!
One of your pool timers is broken. I’d like to time my treading water in the deep end of the pool and it’s not possible at this time.
Excellent instructors
Fantastic, helpful always friendly staff.

Classes: staff: cleanliness
Love my exercise class , staff , swimming lessons, facility
Great facilities, friendly and helpful staff.
Very hands on and interactive with the kids. I feel like my children have learned how to swim better in just a few classes at the Demakes YMCA as opposed to several sessions at the Peabody YMCA!!
The teachers are very kind and my kids are learning faster than at their prior swimming class.
Wonderful facility. Pleasant staff to greet you at the front desk, helpful with information. Love the swim instructors! My daughter went from not knowing how to swim to swimming in 9ft of water within a year!
Beautiful aquatics facility. Bummer that the sauna and steam room are constantly broken.
Staff is very helpful. Pool is amazing and machines and weights are great.
I love the space that’s available and machines.
Drew is a great teacher and all the other instructors are so sweet. The splashe pad is a hit too!
Pre school program is wonderful. It builds a good foundation for kindergarten. The athletic programs are varied for all age groups. Coach Michael Griffin and Coach Chris T. are outstanding instructors enabling the participants to have fun while learning the fundamentals and confidence to gain expertise. They are role models. Kudos as well to Aquatic coach Victor.
Very nice programs so happy my daughter attending swimming program

Nice facilities.
Staff are very Friendly. Pool, Gym, Ninja Warrior, Gymnasium, and etc.
I love how clean and calming the gym is, I only did cardio during my 1st week trial period and based on that I'm definitely going to invest in a membership and take swimming lessons and hopefully lifting sessions as well.
Clean facility, safe environment, friendly staff in and out of the pool.
Instructor is great. The class size is also smaller than usual as it didn't fill up made a great experience
Responsiveness, attention to the needs and feedback from members. The staff is always attentive, courteous and accommodating. It begins with the Ex Director and is executed by each staff member.
There’s always so many activities and programs that are offered for the whole family.
I just wish you had some 5 AM spin classes for people like myself that have to be at work by 7am .
Love the Saturday & Sunday Spin ..
Is it possible to throw in a 5 AM?
Or even at 6 o’clock at night?
The variety of exercise machines and the freedom to exercise independently. Also the the many hours of lap lane swimming
Everything

Variety , availability , cleanliness & modern facilities ; love the balance of active , social & independent spaces ; wish the music could b lowered in cardio area during middle of day
