Member Testimonials
excellent 👏🏻👏🏻 recommended 100%
My child attends morning and aftercare about 3 days a week at Watchung school. The staff members do a great job keeping the kids active and safe. I particularly appreciate their daily greetings and warm and caring demeanor with the kids and towards their colleagues. You know things are going well when your child asks to stay and play a little longer at pick up. Thank you, Y, for providing this important service to families!
The staff is great and it's just an easy gym to be at. Has everything I need.
Nice equipment, not too crowded, nice staff and members
I like very much
The staff (at Brookdale elementary) are excellent! I always felt at ease knowing my child is safe and having fun with her peers after school.
Consistent high level of care. Staff is attentive and finds creative ways to keep the children engaged. My son always enjoyed his time in SACC.
I like the classes and the instructors are great!
Love this place!
The YMCA is a wonderful place to work out and get involved in the community. It is diverse and welcoming to all.
Great experience
Our 2 daughters have had lessons w/ Justin & Vanese over the last 2 years. They were both wonderful and we've had an amazing experience. Vanese in particular has made a tremendous impact on their progress and they love working with her -- they look forward to Friday night swimming!
Thanks for doing a great job hiring fun, professional, talented swim instructors -- we appreciate it.
Mr Zay and team are FABULOUS! My kid loved every second with them at Edgemont school.
Good facilities - women's locker room was bright, large and renovated. Family changing room was dark. Great pool, good hours.
My instructor, Lynn was fantastic. My goals were to learn how to breathe by blowing bubbles, tread water(afraid of deep water), swim laps and float on my back.
Goals met and more.
Profesional and quick response
Excellent
Great staff, convenient hours, on-site location at Verona
Claire was so patient and effective!
Hours & equipment
First & foremost, the people that work at the Y-from the front desk who never fail to greet you with a smile when you come in to the class instructors who are knowledgeable and make the classes interesting and fun.
In the list of classes offered, almost everyone can find one-or more-that's compatible with their interests and physical capability from newbie to advanced,
So, check out the Y, give it a try! I think you'll pleasantly surprised.

The staff was experienced.
My son loved his time in aftercare in demarest. He was enthusiastic with every activities they had available different days.
Every day he would have different arts and craft done during his time. He learned new skills and made friends while he was there.
This was during kindergarten and I am glad he was able to tell the staff when he had any challenges with other classmates, they responded accordingly.
Very thankful for their time.
Thank you everyone at demarest after care.
Location atmosphere cleanliness programs🤓 I have one complaint unfortunately those who were instructors ie yoga etc who started working and had great classes prior to the pandemic weren’t called back!! Why?!!! RSJ
The teachers were grate!
It's excellent. My daughter is so well taken care of at the Watchung After Care program. She is safe and has fun. The caretakers are excellent, friendly and helpful.
Very good
Just about everthing I use is there and the people are pleasant. I'm also grateful that there isn't any music blasting from the Y's speakers. I can listen to my earbuds. I assume that talking on cell phone is not allowed, although not everyone adheres to that.
I only use the pool and locker rooms. Well managed and clean.
Counselors are amazing!
My daughter feels safe and happy there. She loves her counselors and playing with her friends.
