Nice variety of classes. Clean!

New facilities, friendly staff, what's not to like?

I signed my granddaughter up for swimming lessons for the first time. She had just turned 4. Cora was very apprehensive and timid about getting in water without hanging onto someone.
At her first lesson, she got out of the pool after only a few minutes, and sat next to me while we watched. We were leaving when Jamie, one of the instructors, asked if she would like to join his group, as it was more of a beginner group than the one she had been assigned to. Jamie has a big friendly personality and jokes with the kids. He has a way of gently coaxing the kids and making a game out of getting them excited to learn how to swim. Honestly, he was the right fit for my granddaughter and has worked miracles with her. Cora went from having a death grip on Jamie's neck to being much more independent and willing to try most things that Jamie presents to her. Jamie has earned her trust and she is all smiles when in his class. This has turned into a very positive learning experience and it's because Jamie is so patient and works well with all the kids in his group.

because it is a great place! everyone is friendl, and it is super clean.

Pros:
Nice spaces, good equipment, friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere, rarely crowded

Cons:
Yoga room is almost always locked.
Yoga room is sometimes monopolized by one person's individual training, so no one else can use it (even though there's plenty of space to share)

Your new director, Kayla, is terrific. Lessons are better structured. Teachers are better prepared to follow a more strategic learning pattern. They were good before. They are better now.

Beautiful facility; friendly helpful staff…
Appreciate variety of classes…

Cause I work there and enjoy it so much

Very convenient. Nice people working there.

I am limited to pool activities due to injury. The staff is always so helpful and friendly. The pool activities are great. I can tell that there is a lot of attention trying to allow for each group (serious swimmers, group classes, children and families). They make the most of out there time and pool availability. I only wish there were more classes.

New, clean facilities - a variety of programs for many age groups.

Instructors are top notch. Facility is clean and amazing.

I love the people, the friendly staff,and the gym is very clean which is very important to me.

Great facility! Great classes offered!

Beautiful facility. Variety of programs and equipment. Friendly staff.

It keeps you healthy and strong and active. It gets you out of the house so you can socialize and exercise with friends and stay active and not isolate. I don't stay home on the coach and get inactive and sick. I love having somewhere to go everyday that I enjoy and that I can see friends in the community. It's a great place to be and I am really grateful I can come. The pool is my favorite place to be at our ymca.

Beautiful new facility, friendly community, great amenities.

My son has significantly progressed in his skill level in such a short time. His instructors are wonderful and really seem to have a great approach. He loves the class and looks forward to going each week.

The staff are helpful , friendly and professional and the building is clean.

My nephew needs a place to go for physical therapy.

I love the Cape Ann Y - It is so clean and accomodating. The staff are incredible. The pool and equipment are fantastic and the air purification is great!

The North shore Cape Ann YMCA offers great equipment friendly and helpful trainers and staff. Dr. Curtis MindHealClinic.Com

The location and layout of the facility are very well designed. The upstairs workout area has plenty of cardio machines so you don't have to wait and having access to the TV while working out makes the time more enjoyable. I'm impressed with the cleaning team. The bathrooms are spotless and in general the workout areas are clean. Unfortunately some adults don't wipe down the machines after working out but the signage does help mitigate the problem. It would be helpful to have the staff monitor young kids who utilize the cardio equipment. They aren't aware of safety issues such as setting speed limits and or using the incline features. MOST do not wipe any machines after use. I'm very impressed with the number of older folks that use this space. It is encouraging that we feel safe knowing that staff is available to assist us if needed.

Clean space with lot of classes/equipment

The location is ideal. Friendly staff. Clean facility with lots of options/variety. Traffic was moderate in various times of the day.
