Member Testimonials
Its awesome! Has everything I need and more...
Great weight room and machine room! That is all I use these days -- no more swimming or stationary bike. Maybe some day! Clean and well-designed Men's Locker Room.
It has a variety of activities to choose from, the hours the building is open, and how hard you are trying to keep the building clean and welcoming.
By the way I’m not a fan of the turquoise walls!!!
Also, THANK YOU for the TLC given to the ladies room on the first floor! Long overdue,,.
I have been a member for over 30 years?
Thanks again

It’s great
Swimming
Everything!!
I use the pools 3 times a week. And have for 15 years. Because I am semi-retired, I am able to use the facility during its “ quiet times”.Often I have the womens locker room to myself. The showers and locker room are very clean. The large pool is clean ( almost always) and well supervised. The small pool is too warm but I’m glad it’s there when the big pool is busy. I love my Y.

I love to workout in YMCA because they have all kind of classes.
Thank you YMCA
All the classes that are available to members. The exercise machines, the friendly faces of greeters upon entering. Meeting new people. The cleanliness of the facility. I'm happy I finally joined, persuaded by a friend.
My experience with the people I come in contact with at the YMCA They are knowledgeable courteous individuals people. and caring very experience. So I’m very happy to say that I am willing to recommend anyone to come to the YMCA and experience for themselves..

Fun
Love the pool, the change room, the strength training machines and facilities, the affordable monthly membership fee, and the wonderful camaraderie!!!!
Many different methods on staying physically, active and healthy
My experience thus far has been good. The staff is very helpful and polite. I did not realize the facility was as large as it is. I like the fact that no one is hovering over you and you can work at your own pace.
Indoor Pool, steam room, sauna
The Montclair community. Excellent instructors
Great community feel, no matter what you are there for!
I just joined. I like the facility - the range of equipment, size of pool, and that there's a steam room and sauna.
instructor was super helpful and very nice . great experience !
2 pools!
Apologies but from stories I hear (no direct evidence )
women's locker room has more privacy and individual dressing space.
Men's locker crowded - more lockers than space to get dressed.
Space is at a premium.
Also make more 6:15/ 8:00 AM aquacise classes.
Have it all days of week (increase from MWF to MTWThF)) and/or add additional later classes.
Its an nice after school program where the kids get to participate in many activities.
The camarade of the people in my classes, the availability of the varity of the classes, not to forget the wonderful instructors.
Love that it all takes place at school so the transition to after care is easy for parents and kids. All the after care helpers are very nice. We appreciate them.
The activities are quite varied. There are interesting art projects and lots of sports activities. The counselors are very interactive and great with the kids.
The after care staff are very good and caring to the kids.
Really love the counselors, the enrichment, and the program at Forest Ave Elementary in Verona.

We love the swim classes and our daughter looks forward to every class!
