Member Testimonials
Such a beautiful new facility and the staff is excellent
The classes are wonderful. Robin who teaches the Monday morning class is exceptional.
Great new facility. Love the mind and body programs
Lots of class options and nice selection of cardio and weight equipment
Greta experience with the new facility the fitness center is amazing with a lot of space to move around.
It's so helpful that they do homework at the after-school ymca program. I love how they use the gym for physical activities! They play a lot of games with the kids, arts n crafts, teach social skills, etc! I have been very impressed with this program and staff. As a single mom, this has been extremely helpful with childcare and it makes me so happy to know the girls are in good hands with the staff, playing with friends, learning and having fun. It's also extra helpful that you offer childcare during school vacations , after school hours and summer break. I couldn't be more pleased with this program. Very grateful. :)
Welcoming staff, from the moment one walks in at the front desk, to the instructors, and the cleaning staff. The facilities are kept clean and maintained. I am very appreciative of having the MacLeod Center in Gloucester; its proximity to where I live is keeping me active this winter. It has become a meeting place for friends that has kept us connected and buoyed during the winter.
I love the Y. It has everything that I need to keep fit, and it's very convenient.
Flexibility
The facility us well run and clean. I would give it a 10, but I fo not think enough space is given to the aqua aerobics. Fufteen people are crowded into a small space so ggstvgge lanes van bdvopen fir c r5 minutes. Butc t he lanes may be occupied by only six people. I think the aquatics class should have 1/2 the pool. Its only 45 minutes a couple times a week.
My oldest has been involved with the YMCA after school program for 5 years (in his 5th year now). And now my youngest is enjoying his first year in the program. They both love being part of the YMCA and enjoy the activities in the after school program.
They are awesome!!!!
Love the teachers and the facilities
I don’t think there’s another preschool that offers swimming, and now they’re adding in basketball in yoga! Plus they have a splash park in the summer! So fun!
Outstanding after school staff in Rockport. Well-run, and fun & safe for my 2nd grade daughter who thoroughly enjoys it. Highly recommended!
The YMCA after school program is a godsend. The instructors are patient and fun. My daughter doesn't want to miss a day. The program directors truly understand the life of working families by providing extended afterschool options when the schools have half days and providing programs when there are snow days. This program is a working parents dream and my daughter loves it. She has so much fun! I will always be a huge advocate of the YMCA childcare programs. Keep up the good work.
Excellent staff! Great leadership!
The staff is very friendly and always communicating everything. They try to keep the kids busy but at the same time they learn.

It's an activity my son enjoys and the Y team members are fully engaged with the kids as they play. They keep it fun and enjoyable. Thank you!
