Member Testimonials
My son comes home filthy and tired every day! He has so much fun playing with different groups of friends. He LOVES the activities developed from bouncy houses to egg drops and even the indoor days when the rain is terrible. He is so happy, connecting with other kids and the counselors. Jessica Neeley is out every morning and afternoon with a huge smile on her face and she sets a tone of positive fun, making each week at camp new and fun. And this year there are the extra camp activities like the minecraft pool party, which is exactly what my kid wants to do. Thanks so much for being an essential part of our community.
- good variation in activities
- kids get some time outside and time to swim
- good hours
Love the classes except wish more were added in morning
Very professional staff
Engages awesome with kids
Never once in 3 years that my daughter complained about staff and other kids
Never have to worry about her being there
I love the TRX
I LOVE the 50+ women's pickleball!
I joined so I could continue to play in the league
Very spacious. We appreciate that classes are run simultaneously across multiple age groups. This allows us to send both our daughters (of different age) to the gym at the same time, as well as for them to see older girls in their routines (for inspiration and motivation).
We like the equipment and the classes offered. Most importantly, the person who greets us in the morning is so friendly and welcoming. She sets the tone for the Y. Her name is Francine. I’ve heard other people comment how nice it is to come to a place where the person at the desk is so welcoming. Again, they were talking about Francine. Also, I take Chair Yoga on Thursday. That instructor is also very nice, helpful and not condescending. All in all, a nice place to come. Oh, and the maintenance man is very nice also.
They are upbeat, positive and provide health benefits. Oh yeah , and they are social.
I like that the kids are outside most of the day and swim! Overall, the programming seems fun and my kids enjoy their time at the Y.
I had an 8yo and a 5yo both loved the week at the ymca and said that all the games and the group activities were very fun. I loved the fact that they expend time outside and inside and don't get a whole day in the heat.
Friendly staff, clean and welcoming environment, great zumba teachers
Gym, strength training
i like that there is alot for the age group
We have had a great experience at the Saugus Y Gymnastics Center for several years now - from age 18 months through currently almost 4 years. The coaches are great - patient, kind, and caring - and the program is excellent. We will keep coming back for sure!
Good hours, uncrowded space
I like the gymnastics programs.
I wish you guys had an indoor pool though.
Lots of activities. Formal classes and open gym. There are sometimes where I’ve noticed child successes in classes are very dependent on the engagement level of the instructor.
AWESOME PICKLEBALL!
I like having an indoor space to play pickleball.
I like the reasonable pricing and, location is perfect for my family and i. My daughter loved her archery class but we didn’t see it as an option for the recent open season.
It is great knowing there are so many classes to go to. Instructors are wonderful. If there is any question you may have just ask Francine at the front desk. Great place to be.
I like the Saugus y outdoor pool. I have been a member for 43 years. Although there have been a lot of changes over the years I still feel for my family and me it is the best way to spend. my summers.
My daughter loves gymnastics classes and Hillside camp!
The counselors are very friendly with the kids and make them feel comfortable. I personally like that they keep them outside to do what they want and the programs are fun.
The best thing about the Y camps is the longer hours and lower pricing than you'll find at most camps. My son also appreciates the variety of activities each day.
This is our first time doing summer camp. Our daughter is 5 and has absolutely loved every single day so far!
Our son had a lot of fun at camp this year. He’s been going since 2023. A great choice!
they are just so inclusive
Pool day. Friendly staff.
