Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Love the wide variety of classes available, however would like to see a few more geared to older adults who have a harder time getting up and down from the floor.
We can often do the exercises, if they would only be cognizant to do all the floor exercises at the same time instead of getting up and down multiple times during a class.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The instructor’s are amazing… they all go above and beyond. Rosemary is hilarious she really brings the energy, Abby is so versatile she seemed to fill in so many diff classes all summers. Kristen I took a class last week for the. First time with , she made a point after and before class to introduce herself and to see how I did. Lastly Heather she makes you feel like your in a private session , the attention she gives to all her participants is remarkable.. a friend of mine recently came back to the Y & seeks out classes that Heather teaches only!!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Really enjoyed my first visit and looking forward to returning with my family. My only concern was a lifeguard on duty appeared to be repeatedly looking at his phone. I can’t say for sure if that’s what was happening, but it appeared that way from where I was in the pool.

I'm returning after a long post-Covid suspension. So far everyone (Patrick, Chad, Jeff, Keith) has been top-level helpful and friendly in helping me re-up as a member. Looking forward to getting back in the swing. Motivated by the welcoming atmosphere.

What do you like about our program and activities?

We were so pleased with the CIT program this summer - it was truly a training experience with real feedback/evaluations and helpful orientations. I also thought the special CIT experiences (e.g., the special field trip to Marblehead) were great ways for them to bond (especially given they were not together all week) and feel special. My son can't wait to come back and do it again next year until he's old enough to be a true counselor!

What do you like about our program and activities?

My son has been thriving at the sports mania camp. He loves Coach Scotty. He feels very confident when he plays games with him. Scotty is wonderful he always has a smile on his face. He has taught my son how to play so many games! Coach Mike is wonderful as well. He gave my son a nickname that he now uses everywhere. They are a great bunch of coaches and we appreciate them.
