The staff is friendly and helpful, especially the trainers who teach the classes and the front desk staff. They have done a great job keeping safe and open during COVID, and the views are amazing!

It’s open, clean, nice staff, good weights , nice pool, good fellow members, goo classes and free to retired NFL Players.

Friendly staff. Clean facility. Great experience. I love the kids summer camp!

Beautiful location but needs major updating in the bathrooms and should be cleaned more often.

Nice staff...but joined to take classes and not enough classes...they fill too fast...cant get signed in to one.

Fabulous place to workout and enjoy the view of the Back Bay. Twice a week is NOT enough!

Best place for kids and family activities

Worked really hard to stay open this last year. Really cant say enough good things.

Last week 2 of your staff members helped me with the new requirements to join the GroupX deep water pool class, which is limited to 10 members. I cannot work this website to get to the registration, so perhaps more hints for members on how to register for specific classes would be helpful?

Very COVID arbitrary. No mask required to work out. However however handkerchiefs given to hoag doctors not allowed then after shaming me at the door said it was ok. Then take off the mask in the gym. Further allowed children to harass a disabled senior .I supported the ymca for 30 no longer. The ymca has over $ 3 million dollars in cash on the books—why aren’t they spending it on the kids?

Great Staff - at the front and throughout the facility. Understand the value of fitness and a good facility, and encouragement to exercise and stay fit. Easy to use when from out of town and a YMCA member elsewhere. Highly rated and a wonderful asset to the community.

Nice place to work

A country club with non profit status. They complain when you shower in their shower and have zero respect for the poor. Canceled membership for sleeping nearby DURING THE PANDEMIC. And lied about telling me not to do it. They are not a charity and should have their status removed.

Best YMCA I have ever been to. Clean, awesome classes and instructors. Awesome view of the back bay and great kids programs. Blows 24hr Fitness and LA Fitness out of the water...unless you are looking for the toolish guys and large quantities of women who are there for social hour than working out...then I suggest another club. This place is family oriented and just a great place to go to.

They are always vacuuming when we get there but it just the time of day, many fun activities to do as a family. Some machines are always broken but overall nice!

Great place to work out. Casual, low key, great views of the Back Bay — plus you get to breathe sea breezes, instead of canned HVAC. I’ll never go anywhere else.

As long as Ive been here theres been one individual who I have had the misfortune of seeing everyday. He is a personal trainer I believe. Older, tall, black hair, always wearing flip flops. I must report that a very elderly man was being trained, as if that meant spending a distracting amount of time on the cell phone talking at his leisure, not paying attention to his client. I dont have a like for this individual at all. The front are staff is also kind of an issue, as they are usually very distracted or never there.Other than that the Y is a good place to work out and exercise.

All in one fitness center

They will honor other chapter memberships

Mike runs the show and hes awesome! He knows THE FULL story , SO if you have any concerns, TALK TO MIKE TANAGON!

I am a big time convert to the YMCA. I admit I was skeptical of the YMCA when I first joined almost a year ago. Here are the cons: It isnt very big, the locker rooms arent very posh-looking (Im not a fan of group showers), and it closes at 9:00 p.m., which is usually when I start my workouts. I have been a Super Sport and Ultra Sport member of 24 Hour Fitness for like 10 years. When I lived in Irvine I was an LA Fitness member and spent four months at Equinox Fitness as well. I go to the gym 20 times a month. You can only get kids club access for 1:15, so just barely enough time to do a class and do pickup and drop off.I honestly prefer the YMCA now to 24 hour fitness. There is a total sense of community there. I am a huge believer.What is better here? I will list them in the order of importance:1. The class instructors are mind-blowing. I cant figure it out, but the instructors are amazing. I wonder if YMCA gives benefits or something to their instructors. They really are way better than the other gyms I go to. I go to Soul Cycle and Grit Cycle and other expensive spin classes, but I love the YMCA. Sherry, my spin teacher, is ranked #4 in the world for triathlon. Diane has amazing playlists that keep me going. And it isnt just for me, my kids are on the swim team and Louis Wojiciekowski is hands down one of the best swim coaches for kids I have ever seen. The energy he throws into coaching is incredible. He is also very patient. This guy is totally going places and the YMCA is really lucky to have him and this guy is going to make his mark on the sport as a coach I have no doubt in my mind. My kids started at 0 in the pool and Jonathan was such a patient coach for personal swimming lessons. Drew does my Killer Circuit workout course on Saturdays and he works you really hard. I would put the instructors at the YMCA up against any gym in Orange County. The guys at the Playpen are really mean and scary looking but if you work hard no matter your fitness level they respect you for it and work with you. The Yoga class is full of super buff men. Its funny because usually yoga classes at Yogaworks that I have been to have like 5% men. This class is like half men.2. The actual machines are fantastic. The spin bikes and treadmills are way better than the ones at 24 hour fitness. They use this brand of equipment called Technogym, and they are really high quality. They are easy to operate and dont break down. The view from the group exercise class looks out over the back bay and is stunning. The weight machines (not free weights) are also Technogym and I get amazing movement, much better than even the high-end Hoist machines at the expensive gyms.3. Kids sports. If you have kids, and want to work out yourself then put them in a class for $10 a week and get your own workout in. Its perfect. We put my kids in swim team and Tee-ball and then when they are finished we put them in kids club and get almost a 3 hour workout.5. Price. It seems expensive, but you get discounts on your kids activities if you are a member of the club. So full price swim team is cut in half with your membership, so here is what we pay: we have the family membership for ($85) plus tee-ball for $35 for my youngest, plus swim team for my oldest ($40), which is four days a week at 1.5 hour intervals with amazing coaches. I also pay $15 per month so I can get access to the PlayPen, which is like an America Ninja Warrior training course. I do the Monday and Wednesday morning boot camp class for the $15, even though I was paying $200 per month for the same thing at 24 Hour Fitness. I consider the YMCA a bargain if you are going to use it.

Clean and not crowded

Great for variety reasons

Closing At 4pm on Sunday is way too early.
