Not enough equipment here.They need to expand.

★★★★★Zachary Bates

Very clean gym!

★★★★★Jeannie Hogan

My favorite thing to say about the East Boston YMCA is that the staff is outstanding Walking into a fitness facility has always been a challenge for me, however when I rejoined this past December I was greeted and warmly welcomed back by Kelly, her smile and personality made it possible for me to think, I’ll be ok here Yesterday I stopped by and was greeted by Oscar, his smile and conversation led me to believe I could try a Zumba class or any class and be ok It’s people like Kelly and Oscar that make the East Boston YMCA the best choice for me

★★★★★Jorge bonilla

I love to much ymca

★Renee Elich

There should be a 0 star option. Not a real ymca, staff totally unhelpful and rude; and refuse to give a schedule or more information on the place. Staff was like talking to an automated phone system but she appeared to be a real human. Don't go here, seriously.
