Member Testimonials
Great place! Very clean. Treadmills are in need of repairs. TVs often don't work on them. Communication could be better to staff members. Water filters weren't replaced after 3 weeks of bringing it to upstairs and downstairs staff. The upstairs staff does not look at how machines are being used and people will end up hurting themselves. There is plenty of time to offer support to new members who could use help. If you've been using equipment for years, and your self sufficient, it's a great place. For newbies, they could use help. And if a machine isn't working, put a sign on the machine! Another suggestion, number the machines! Why do I as a member, have to count the machines in order to bring it to staffs attention? I understand staffing can be a problem, but having a daily checklist on what needs to get done EVERYDAY would be helpful to clients.

The vibe is great, it’s never too busy, and there are folks of all ages and backgrounds there. In don’t feel excluded and don’t feel any pressure to do (or not do!) anything. Joe Dapper is a great ambassador for the Y and helped me feel welcome immediately. I’m actually getting dressed to come work out at the Y in a few!
It’s a great facility and has a wonderful range of activities.
Nice facility
Parking available
Friendly staff
i have never been someone to go to the gym. However, I absolutely love it . I love the positive energy and dare I say the love I feel from the minute I walk in the doors. The staff is so welcoming. There are a good variety of classes that are offered, and something for everyone. For me it is a must that the building be spotless and I am quite pleased. Instructors like Vanessa Lee, Andi Daniels (more yoga classes please, Chelsea Hale and Erica are top- notch professionals.
My wish list.
I would love to see some of the classes that are (sign- up only,) in a larger venue because they usually fill fast. (Could you build an annex) Sometimes the sign-up site is not always working properly which send me into a panic.
BRAVO GREAT JOB
It’s a great new facility. Really like the spin classes
My husband and I started at the YMCA due to the Cornerstone Program. We both enjoy the YMCA, especially restorative yoga. As a cancer surviivor, my husband participates in all the Cornerstone Program cirriculum and it has helped him physically and mentally. He now has a better outlook on life in general, thanks to you.
We both recommend the YMCA since it has a wide variety of activities, ample hours of operation and a full calendar of events. There is so much you can do so you just need to find the time and commit.
Thumbs up to the YMCA!

Pleasant, spacious, clean, well-organized, and an abundance of workout equipment.
Cape Ann is the best YMCA I’ve ever been to!
I live inRolwey and use to go to Ipswich regularly but they just are invested in their aqua program. Gloucester does a great job - RUTH IS AMAZING and so is Vanessa. Communication is great and the staff are wonderful. I only wish Ipswich was run as well. It's quite a haul to get to Gloucester.

It's a great facility w/lots of stuff to do!
