Member Testimonials
Group exercises,, the exercises machine.
I really enjoy the classes that Rayshawn teaches--he puts a lot of time and care into the workouts that he designs and I appreciate that. I also love the front desk and other staff, as well as other members, everyone is so friendly and pleasant that I feel very welcomed.
the work out machines and small pool
The people who works there and the location.
I love the gym, the staff is very friendly and nice. All the amenities are well maintained and I foresee myself going to this gym for many months to come.
Very friendly, nice community
I like the class I take and the instructors.
Park street is on my way from work and I like the friendship I’ve developed at the Y
Clean. Well outfitted. Knowledgeable helpful staff.
I find every YMCA visit to be an adventure.
I like the classes, instructors (sometimes quirky, almost uniformly very good), the low-key community and inclusivity, the community-minded spirit, the yoga classes, core flow, Pilates fundamentals, Jacqueline the personal trainer, the equipment rooms.
Great selection of equipment, rarely crowded, and lots of wonderful classes to choose from!
Clean and spacious facilities and the Montclair YMCA’s commitment to achieving the full purpose of shutdown week. I also love that there’s plenty of opportunities to go for a decent lap swim workout in the pools. And fellow members are so kind!
Variety of classes and that you do not have to sign up for any
I really only use the large pool. But it has good hours and is well maintained.
There were issues last year with unexpected closures and variable water temperatures but those issues seem to now be resolved.
I love the Tai Chi class.
The Montclair Y has something for everyone!
I love the Y's relaxed and friendly atmosphere, good equipment, and the fact that there are people of all ages who attend.
Excellent service,
The facilities are very good as is the location. I enjoy using the large pool and the gym. Will probably partake in other offerings as well in the future.
Really pretty happy with Park St YMCA. However, the cockroaches in the women's locker room are really a disturbing problem that make me worry about the hygiene there. Hoping that will be addressed.
Great community, very friendly and welcoming people, fantastic location.
I enjoy the large pool, the dry sauna, the clean women's locker room, showers, and changing rooms.
I enjoy all the possibilities for exercise. Currently I am using the pool and elliptical. Sometimes I use the weight rooms and take group classes.
The Park Street YMCA is a great place to workout. They have great classes and the schedule of classes works for me. The trainers are very good and always friendly and eager to help. The facility is always clean.

Motivation and coaching specific to Seniors.
Good upbeat music is inspiring
Members working out together become friends
Premises are OK but bannisters need to be cleaned with disinfectants several times a day. They are very dirty and most people hold on to walk up and down, spreading germs. So lets disinfect them often. Thank you.
The friendly atmosphere and especially the staff are so very helpful and kind. If I ever speak to others about the YMCA I ask them to come to the Montclair branch and give me their opinion. I'm very happy to be a part of the Park St. YMCA, in my humble opinion I think that it is the best.
