Member Testimonials
I like that Group Ex classes are free with your membership! I also like how within your branch, you can go to different YMCA's and participate in their classes as well. For example, my home branch is Melrose and I'm able to take Group Ex classes in Saugus, Lynn, and Peabody!
Many to choose from
I just use the gym.

Love the staff, the space, the offerings. I never feel out of my depth and I always have ease of access to what I want to do to work out. It's sometimes hard to get a pool lane, but the lifeguards always help facilitate sharing.
Fun and lots of variety! Staff is professional
I love the pool. I can not walk for more than 5 minutes. I am in the pool for an hour and feel great.
Lots of aerobic machines and strength training equipment. Helpful personal trainers and attendants. Nice pool. Good hours, although even later on Saturday and Sundays would be even nicer.

Variety of programs
I’m handicapped and not judged
The YMCA is more than a gym. It’s a community. I not only enjoy taking a variety of group-ex classes with wonderfully professional instructors, I love the feeling of camaraderie amongst the members and the staff. It has been my experience that this isn’t true at other gyms. I love the YMCA.
