Member Testimonials
The instructors are great. They are professional at the same time they make the kids feel very comfortable. I highly recommend the swim classes.
It has great classes for seniors
I like the welcoming environment - staff and members.
Great location, plenty of classes. All ages.
My son Maseen's instructor Kate is so kind and also able to help him stay focused on the lesson by following instructions. He jumps in the water at the end of class and I can see his growth. I love the swim program for him :)!
Classes, excercise equipment. Pool
I like how the YMCA feels like a growing, changing community, but the positive vibes are a constant. I like entering the building by the lower level now, and how the flow of energy feels in the building. I like how the yoga studio feels tucked away and sanctuary-like, because I have to follow a winding path to get there. I like the feeling that lots of different things are going on in the building, but calmness is a constant.
I personally like Montclair YMCA. I will always show favorite to that area. However, the swimming does not work for me
I really enjoy the classes and the staff are all so warm and welcoming
Park Street YMCA is a clean facility, the employees are knowledgeable and friendly.
Jamina is great and very sweet!
I really like that the YMCA is a place for every kid- my son has been through almost every level and he has become such a confident swimmer. The instructors are really caring people and they work so well with the kids.
Fun!
Janet is an expert instructor! She is very patient, and has clarity of step-by-step process for this 84 year old to finally learn how to swim. I'm so excited that I'm learning how to swim after all these years and many attempts! THANK YOU!
Clare is amazing. Very accommodating and super friendly
Small class sizes and always starts on time. Excellent instructor
The swimming details of the lesson. I do not like the family room showers. They are messy, shower head knobs are caked with white build up and the shower heads are too powerful for such small space making it messy. The tiles and floor are molded in many areas, unsanitary. I don't want my child to stand on the shower floors. Why can't it be remodeled and fixed like the women's showers at park avenue and like the girls glen ridge changing/showers site?
The instructor are nice and personable.
The try to attend to which swimmers needs
Emilio, the instructor, is extremely patient and I feel like he’s gotten me more comfortable in the water so far with lessons. I wish the lessons were slightly longer, maybe 50 minutes as opposed to 40. And it would be nice to have an open swim time closer to the lessons on Saturdays for people to practice. A class schedule of what will be reviewed in each session would be great so if someone misses a class they’re not holding everyone else up with going over what they missed, they can review and research on their own.
modern equipment and friendly-ness
The pool is great
Good gym. But I wish they had more classes like yoga at night after work. The yoga seems to be always during lunch/work hours.
Also it would be nice to have something like a social hour or Friday socials.
I love the YMCA is the best place ever, all the equipment is great and service are the best
I like the variety of activities and classes.
I'm just about ready to try different classes, so that will be exciting.
the facility is fine, it's an old building so it's bound to have issues. I do see you trying - new HVAC system is a big deal, even if it goes unnoticed by pretty much everyone.
I have more patience that other members, so I'm fine when one aspect of the offering is closed for a week or two.
the staff is very professional too. All seem happy to be there.
Bathrooms still need more clean ups. Especially on the weekends.
The caring of the staff and the overall professionalism
The counselors are very caring and engaging! I feel good that I can trust them with my child.
It's clean, accommodating, friendly staff.
The staff is kind and welcoming to all. They all are accommodating and understanding to my child’s special needs , safety and different abilities social and emotional . They are also understanding to our family different dynamic and situations and continue to maintain professionalism at all times.
The pool and the community.
