Good classes and facilities!

It's a nice facility and the staff are very friendly.

Facility is light and airy and the classes are great.

The teachers this session have been excellent. They have been great with getting the kids out of their comfort zones and learning new skills. I’ve seen incredible progress in both my girls swimming skills and confidence this session. It seems that the swim teachers at the Y have stepped up a level and I’m so appreciative.

I am thrilled that Cape Ann Y has Pilates Reformers!! I have always wanted to learn and the Y is such a comfortable environment compared to some of the fancy studios. I have taken classes with Cassie, Calandra and Erica, and I think they are all fabulous! Cassie made me feel comfortable right away with her friendly personality. I was nervous to start something new at age 40, but Cassie was so welcoming and her class was such a fun way to strengthen my body!
Erica has such a calm and peaceful way about her that helps me really connect my mind with my body during practice. Erica does a great job of correcting us when we need an adjustment in a kind and effective way. I’ve done three sessions of classes with her and I can honestly say I feel stronger and more in tune with my body every week! There are some moves that were super tough for my body on day one, and now they feel natural. I would recommend Erica’s class to anyone and everyone. ☺️
I have also done a couple of one-on-one training sessions on the Reformer and CardioTramp with Calandra. Her precise, hands-on approach has done wonders for not only my Pilates practice, but all other areas of my fitness work- I am now stronger at spinning, running with better posture and lifting weights with more strength. Can’t thank Calandra enough for how strong I feel!
I’m excited to move on to an Intermediate Reformer class in the fall and build on all I’ve learned. I’ve even made some lovely friends in class who have also returned session after session. 10/10 for me! I’d come every day if I could!

great facility and wonderful programs for diverse community members!

Great facility with lots of exercise equipment. People there are friendly and welcoming

The Y is a non profit, non sectarian organization which serves the public. There's a beautiful swimming pool with many lap lanes open much of the time. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Facility is very clean.
Good options for working out

it is so great to be back in the YMCA community! The facility is beyond amazing with classes for any fitness level and a great workout area. Just arrived back from 5 months as a snowbird in FLA and would like to thank my YMCA for putting my membership on hold. I greatly appreciate it.

Very much so

Immaculate facility and friendly front desk staff

Returned to Gloucester for a caregiving respite (from NJ), where I usually swim regularly. Hoping to keep up my primary form of relaxation, I visited the
new-to-me and BEAUTIFUL! Y and asked if I could purchase a weekly pass while vacationing.
The staff couldn't have been more welcoming, kinder and accommodating, providing me with a free weekly pass which I gleefully used and enjoyed!
If and when I ever reside in Gloucester again, I will become a member asap as the staff and members -- as in years past -- were just the best!
Many thanks to all at the Y who helped my respite matter,
Sincerely,
Erin Scott

The facility is clean and offers a lot of variation to work out

Thank you

It's new, spacious, but could maybe use some new, different machines and some more benches. Also, spin classes get filled quickly for later morning hours, especially on weekends and the earlier ones don't. Maybe have some later morning or noon spin classes.
