Member Testimonials

Because it is simply an excellent facility.

I've been going to the YMCA since I was very young and I have loved it my whole life 🧬 I think 🤔 people will love it too 😁

Wonderful staff, beautiful facility, commendable programming.

The YMCA now has incorporated the E-GYM into their selection of workouts. Its a great workout and the program is easy to use. There is always a person available to help. Jayden is a great person to show you the different machines and how to be successful. He is kind and has a lot of patience.

It’s a beautiful facility and I REALLY appreciate the financial assistance I’ve received with my monthly membership. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy such a great place that I get so much out of. It helps me physically and more importantly mentally.

Outstanding experience and facilities. Great people working there who have been there for a long time.

Great local facility.

I can't say enough good things about this Y!!! It's so clean, the staff are friendly and helpful and knowledgeable, the facilities are gorgeous... I love that there's enough space between the machines, so that you never feel crowded or stuffed, and that it's catered to the whole community, so I'm not the only tiny woman in the weights room :-) The pool is beautiful as well, and the lifeguards are very attentive. I also love the free electric car charging -- I use it every time I come. Last but not least, the cardio machines are so clean and well-maintained. Thank you for making this Cape Ann YMCA such a wonderful place.

It’s a gorgeous modern facility, with state of the art equipment and challenging classes. A lovely pool, daycare and friendly staff make it a great place to work out.

Great equipment, people

We have been very pleased with our experience at the Gloucester, Massachusetts YMCA. We have never been a member of a YMCA and decided now that we’re getting older, we have more time to exercise N. I’ve seen we joined. We are very happy with the EGYM and have seen good results from it.

The staff is very friendly and a few times something has been broken, they fixed it quickly.

It’s a good gym

I love that snacks are provided and that there is always a range of activities to keep kids interested and occupied during after-school time.

We just moved back to Gloucester (after many decades living away).The new Y is a very powerful draw. The facilities are top notch and nicely maintained. What we like best is the people. The staff are beyond friendly. We greatly appreciate the intergenerational clientele. Dads with the tiny daughters, cocky middle schoolers getting “jacked” and mature adults like us shoveling against the tide. It is a wonderful Norman Rockwell tableau and it draws us in multiple times a week. Would be a reason to move to Gloucester, if there were not so many reasons already. Many Thanks, Brian & Leslie Flynn East Gloucester.

Very helpful staff! Very clean !

Excellent teachers, great building, clean and friendly staff.

It’s a place where there are real opportunities to connect with others. I always say that everything you need to know can be learned in the locker room at the Y.

Affordable, great machines, lots of classes, awesome variety for workouts including swimming and basketball and so much more

Very nice pool.

Staff is great. Ainsley in the Beverly Y is amazing. She is very caring to the members! She always has a smile on her face.

I like the machines in the Gloucester Y. The wrist band is a great help in controlling the workout.

I am so lucky to be able to go to this wonderful Y!! I'm 80 but because of swimming at Y I feel good and my body is in good shape. The Y building is beautiful and the staff so helpful and nice! Thank you!!!

Friendly staff, bright and clean spaces to work out, and something for everybody!

I love going there. There are always plenty of equipment and most of the time no waiting. The staff is very pleasant and helpful.
Thank you

It is a lively, beautiful, clean environment with a wide range of activities for all ages and abilities. From the moment I walk in the door and am greeted with a friendly smile, I feel motivated and proud to be part of a community where we share the common goal of nurturing our bodies, minds and spirits.

Beautiful facility, with excellent offerings and a wonderful staff.

everyone is very helpful

The facility is great unfortunately there have been some weather related issues causing problems with hot water ,not unexpected given the weather conditions we have had . Staff is friendly always helpful. Equipment is plentiful,EGym helps with circuit training machines accessibility ,however some members still insist on using their phones and “grazing” on the machines. Wall ball/chinning bar/punching bag area has been down for awhile Andy is missed by many. Overall I’m a Happyt member and would recommend without hesitation .
