Children are grouped based on age group
The kids have a safe place to play and get away from electronics
Variety of programs and access to the group classes.
The children really enjoy learning about the sports they are interested in
The open gym is awesome! My girls are 2.5 years old and it is a perfect place for them to start to explore gymnastics and burn off some energy each week
Team work. And that they show up for one another
The program is great and the kids love it
Counselors are amazing. I do wish there was more for the kids to do on the insanely hot days and have flexibility for pool time but understand it’s not possible. Photos of kids would be nice as well occasionally to see what they are up to. Overall really happy as usual though!
Advanced gymnastics is a good program. Good instructors.
Summer instructors are not as organized. Mixing intermediate and advanced into a 1.5 hour class in summer seems a bit unorganized. If the class is mixed in summer an hour makes more sense.
The staff knows my son and he always comes home dirty, which tells me that he’s having a great time. One day, he came back after being on holiday and had a hard time transitioning. The counselor spent time with him until he was ready to join the group. The only thing I wish they would change is how the children are grouped. He’s in the 4/5 group, but his friends are in the 6 year old group. Hopefully, children can be grouped by their upcoming grade instead of age. He does state that he’s able to play with them, so it’s not that big of a deal for him.
I love that the kids are moving all day and come home having had so much fun, but also exhausted!
Great people
Pool day. Friendly staff.
My son comes home filthy and tired every day! He has so much fun playing with different groups of friends. He LOVES the activities developed from bouncy houses to egg drops and even the indoor days when the rain is terrible. He is so happy, connecting with other kids and the counselors. Jessica Neeley is out every morning and afternoon with a huge smile on her face and she sets a tone of positive fun, making each week at camp new and fun. And this year there are the extra camp activities like the minecraft pool party, which is exactly what my kid wants to do. Thanks so much for being an essential part of our community.
- good variation in activities
- kids get some time outside and time to swim
- good hours
Love the classes except wish more were added in morning
Very professional staff
Engages awesome with kids
Never once in 3 years that my daughter complained about staff and other kids
Never have to worry about her being there
I love the TRX
I LOVE the 50+ women's pickleball!
I joined so I could continue to play in the league
Very spacious. We appreciate that classes are run simultaneously across multiple age groups. This allows us to send both our daughters (of different age) to the gym at the same time, as well as for them to see older girls in their routines (for inspiration and motivation).
We like the equipment and the classes offered. Most importantly, the person who greets us in the morning is so friendly and welcoming. She sets the tone for the Y. Her name is Francine. I’ve heard other people comment how nice it is to come to a place where the person at the desk is so welcoming. Again, they were talking about Francine. Also, I take Chair Yoga on Thursday. That instructor is also very nice, helpful and not condescending. All in all, a nice place to come. Oh, and the maintenance man is very nice also.
They are upbeat, positive and provide health benefits. Oh yeah , and they are social.
I like that the kids are outside most of the day and swim! Overall, the programming seems fun and my kids enjoy their time at the Y.
I had an 8yo and a 5yo both loved the week at the ymca and said that all the games and the group activities were very fun. I loved the fact that they expend time outside and inside and don't get a whole day in the heat.
Friendly staff, clean and welcoming environment, great zumba teachers
Gym, strength training
i like that there is alot for the age group
We have had a great experience at the Saugus Y Gymnastics Center for several years now - from age 18 months through currently almost 4 years. The coaches are great - patient, kind, and caring - and the program is excellent. We will keep coming back for sure!
Good hours, uncrowded space
Very engaging and prepared well for the children. It was so fun and my son had a wonderful time.
