I enjoy the group adult exercise classes . Terrific instructors . John and Jackie
I enjoy the group workout classes. I hope for more weekend classes. Many of my friends ask if the group classes can be paid for as one-time charges. It is also good to have the option for kids center while parents workout.
All encompassing re: services and equipment
Many group fitness options with flexible timing.
Didn’t love running up and down stairs as feels not safe, not climate controlled, and not so clean. And we have to leave our personal belongings behind. Next time will put in a locker, didn’t expect to run all over the Y as part of class. A good workout though
cooling off in hot weather.
I enjoy the variety of group exercise classes, and the staff is helpful and attentive.
Staff. Equipment. Location. Facility
Park Street YMCA is wonderful! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The equipment is clean and functions well. Great gym for the family!
It’s clean, welcoming to everyone, with helpful staff, good equipment and classes, affordable, and well air-conditioned in hot weather.
The pools. I do not use the gym or attend class activities outside of the pool. Lifeguards are wonderful.
Variety of classes and times. Friendly atmosphere.
It offers many classes and many opportunities to stay active
Great water instructors. Pleasant greeters at the front desk
Aqua classes with Janet, Senior classes with Jacqueline, and any training with Chris Fetchik
The fact that they have not one but 2 pools; not a lot of the gyms in the area have pools, and a sauna. Also the staff are friendly and helpful. (If you use my name publicly the YMCA is authorized to use "Quan Last name removed": My government name that I pay my bills with is strictly prohibited; Thank you.)
The Care program staff member took my son and the other kids to the ice cream truck.
Child watch is super helpful and many hours to choose from.
The full gym capability - pool, sauna, steam room, showers, classes, machines
Staff is super friendly
I really like the strategies and training skills that were instructed of my daughter with this Swim Teacher. She really focused and paid attention to each child and their positions. I hope she can have her again!

Love the YMCA!!
We love the group of people that support my daughter at Brookdale school aftercare. I can tell that they really support the kids and my daughter loves being there. Miss Franny has been great stepping up as the lead this year and I never feel guilty about having her there because they have so much fun.
Open early and late, nice facilities.
I use the exercise and weight rooms. Do you ever do an inventory of equipment use? I think you need more stair-steppers— they are often in use (only 2) and other equipment sits empty.
They get the chance to go outside and play. Teachers and assistant they watch, teach, and play with kids.
A great community of family and friends. The location, condition of building site is excellent. Gyms and studio rooms nicely stocked and clean. Staff and instructors are exceptional. Friendly, competent eager to go the extra mile. Being a member definitely has improved my quality of life. Yoga instructors are wonderful, well trained, eager to share their knowledge and wisdom with others. While they are all wonderful, My favorites are Liz, Fran and Maggie. Although Maggie is gone, I truly miss her presence and all that she offered in her sessions. I would be great if she decided to return.
I love the staff. Love! I love how organized, fair, and kind they are. I love the leadership of Ms. Heather and Mr. Parker. They are stellar. I love how much planning they do to keep the students engaged, active, and in harmony. I deeply appreciate the training the staff has to ensure they support kids in all of their moods and conflicts. I am grateful for the staff’s commitment to safety.
I enjoyed swim class. The instructors were very friendly and nice.
