Member Testimonials
The pool and swim schedule. Employees are friendly. The management (especially Lisa Kievit) is exceptional!
I do like many things about YMCA Montclair establishment, staring from the people that works there always very friendly and helpful. This establishment is always well maintained, from cleanliness to structure improvements, and equipment upgrades to provide a safe a pleasant experience to all the members.
It feels like home, thanks to everyone that is part of it !
Clean. Friendly, well equipped, variety in workout classes, great instructors!
Staff. Teachers.
I love the yoga classes at the Y. They are accessible to seniors and are still quite strenuous. The instructors manage to guide us and make individual recommendations.
I like the facility and the staff is always very friendly. I am a swimmer and the pool staff is very good and the pool is emasculate. The locker room is clean and well maintained.
The variety of programs and classes, the excellent quality of the instructors, the friendly atmosphere exuded by the staff.
Convenient location
Classes that I like, wish there was more morning Zumba
Meeting and exercising with the other members
The facilities are top notch except for the men's steam bath, which is frequently not working.
I like this YMCA because it is do diverse. I am 72yo and this YMCA is so diverse I never feel out of place. There are very young and very old and there is a place for all of us.
I love being around my Y family folks I know and like. I enjoy the activities, chair Yoga, tai chi, swimming, water exercise, pickleball. And being a singer, I enjoy the music the water exercise teachers play at their classes.
I love the pool! I think the YMCA pool is the best pool around the area of Montclair.
Great staff too!
I love the sense of community at the Y. Everyone is friendly—literally every says “hi” and smiles from the moment you walk in. It is wonderful and inspiring to see the same faces over and over. I love the incredibly diversity at our Y, it feels like all of Montclair is there!

The aqua clasess
I think the kindest people in the world work here!
I love the Y. The people are wonderful and the atmosphere is inviting.
What I don't like:
I think that the early morning, (6-:45 and 8:00 water aerobics class instruction is very weak.
I really liked the open clinics for pickle ball rather than having to sign up for a series of 10.... I have an injury and would like to try coming back to kickball, but the 10 week commitment isn't feasible, since I don't know if I will be able to play
Friendly and welcoming staff all the time. Great pool facilities and locker rooms. Great hours.
I appreciate the role the Y plays in the Montclair community and its importance to the well being of so many people in the Essex area.
I like the new equipment and the facilities like the steam room, sauna, and pool options.
Geyer Y is a clean, organized, friendly and safe environment for kids. Our Grandaughter attended preschool there and still participates in classes and swimming. Great resource!
The space is now much bigger with different equipment in each room. The addition of the hammer machines in the weight room are great. Love that there is a sauna in the locker room.
I love the Y
Use of the small pool and excellent water temperature. All the staff is great.
The sauna!
I wish it was a bigger place to accommodate more people comfortably. Alternatively I would love to see some enforcement of the rule that says no more than two people at the time, and keep it quiet.
Also Tai Chi with Pamela Leo is fantastic, but more options regarding scheduling will be better.
Other than that, it will be nice to have discounted rates and more clase available for seniors ( chair yoga is always booked when i try to make a reservation).
I enjoy the facilities and particularly my yoga classes. The staff is friendly and supportive. Most importantly the Y has a commitment to reaching out to the community and its most vulnerable members and I appreciate that.
It has everything
