Member Testimonials

Livestrong program for cancer survivors … and my personal experience and success doing pre-hab strengthening prior to total hip joint replacement surgery.

A great place to interface with others and get in shape. A plethora of activities and programs for all age groups to engage your mind and body and to challenge you to be the best version of yourself! Staff members are always friendly and willing to help wherever and whenever they can. Edna Cooke

I've been a member for about a month now - having never stepped foot in a gym prior to signing up. I was there to learn how to properly swim - so i can be stronger and more versatile swimming the ocean. I highly recommend this Y location for anyone interested in learning how to use your body more efficiently which very quickly is extremely fun and rewarding on many fronts.

YMCA Cape Ann is an amazing place where I am always welcomed at the door. The instructors are excellent - shout out to the amazing Vanessa Lee and William Lai - !!!. I can't wait to go back tomorrow, and I am always recommending the aqua classes to people I encounter day to day. Life changing! Thank you!

The water wise program is exceptional and the splash pad is so fun

Great facility, friendly staff, clean.

yes

My child gets to be outside and enjoy summer while I’m working.

The Y is a wonderful community center as witnessed by the often overcrowded pool and exercise class spaces.

We love it there, the gym is great, and my son LOVES the swim lessons there. Lisa is great with the kids. we already signed up for the fall lessons right after the summer lessons ended

The Cape Ann YMCA offers wonderful and varied classes with very attentive, passionate, and prepared instructors. Your instructors really make everyone feel welcome, accomplished, and keep us safe while working out.

The CA YMCA is overall clean, well-equipped, friendly, and spacious. I enjoy working out with groups in our classes, exploring new things to me like yoga, and doing my own workouts on the weights.

All the workers from front desk, sanitation professionals, instructors, and help-desk attendants are professional and keep the environment of the Y excellent.

Your staff is very friendly and helpful and the facility is beautiful. I’ve gained strength and friendships in your program.

Terrific facility, excellent equipment, helpful staff, great location.

Terrific facilities; Good hours

The Y has a lot to offer from some great group classes to swimming, pickleball, and the ability to work on your own individual program. I love seeing all the happy children as I make my way to my classes. There's something for all ages!

Great facilities friendly staff

Very likely

It’s very clean, a nice variety and a lot of great equipment, plenty of wipes to clean your used surfaces, staff is friendly and greets you. Although I have not participated yet in any other activities, there is plenty offered and I intend to do so.

It's a great place - a real community gathering spot.

Great job. That Gloucester facility is really impressive. On a side note, this is outside the staff’s control, but the pickleballers were as usual unwilling to share any space in the gym for someone looking to shoot around for 10 mins with the basketball. Keep up the great work with everything else!

I love Cape Ann Y and all the folks that make it happen

Space and equipment is great. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Membership reasonably priced. Convenient hours and friendly, positive atmosphere

Facility is excellent.
Men’s locker room was a bit disappointing. Not enough bench space. No spots for gym bags.

Our son loved going to Spindrift! He always had such a fun day there.

good teachers and classes

I am very pleased this year with the soccer camp. My son seemed to enjoy his time there and was able to connect with old friends and made new friends. He learned some new skills and feels like he knows how to play better.
