★★★★★Carl Zelinsky

I have been going to "The Y" since 1977. Good place, great people.

★★Kate Smith

As others have mentioned there is no availability for families, teens or children to use the pools after school or early evening, they take up all the pools with lessons up until like 7pm every day and much of the weekend. If you are joining in the hopes of using the pools forget it there are cheaper gyms to go to. They need to have open swim in the multiuse pool on weekdays for families to use more often after school/early evening. The rock wall is never open.

★★★★★Susan Powers

The facility is absolutely spotless. The classes are great and the staff is wonderful. The app is a nightmare. But the gym is top notch otherwise. And they are working on the technology issues they tell me.

★★★★★Zeliha

This place is clean and well-organized. The staff are friendly and polite. The pool is great — the depth is just right for babies and young children. We really enjoy coming here.

★★★★Seth Mastrocola

Very nice YMCA. Newly renovated Sauna and Steam Room. Large rock wall and exercise rooms. Two pools with splash pad and large hot tub! The Subway Restaurant has since closed which was a huge perk for the kids after swim lessons. For now, there are no definitive plans for a replacement food vendor but I heard that Subway could make a return!
