I've been a member at the "Y" now since 1980. I love everything about it. And in spite of my next comment I still rate it a "10" ,... 10 being the best rating. My only small complaint is that it is quite irritating when individuals ( mostly teens ) do a sit on a machine , often literally for 5 - 10 minutes at a time texting or playing with their cell phones. That creates a clear inconvenience to those trying to get their workout in, often on a tight schedule or routine and unable to use the machine because an individual is occupying it for no real purpose.
At the risk of sounding like a "complainer" , I see no reason at all for anyone to bring their cell phone to any workout room upstairs....? I do understand if you are a policeman, EMS volunteer, a ambulance driver, or a doctor that it might be necessary. But otherwise it is more than irritating that some people seem to use the Y as pretty much a "hang out".
But again, I love the Montclair YMCA. Buddy Last name removed
Friendly staff and clean facility
Staff is friendly and very helpful, recently renovated facilities are nice, offerings are plentiful, membership fee is very reasonable - overall good experience.
I like that there are lessons during the morning.
The instructors are patient, encouraging, and very helpful. They analyze individual swimmers form and how to improve.
I like being in the warm water.
Our swim instructor Tommy was amazing, supportive, inspiring and helpful ! My twins learned so much
wonderful class
Most staff are very sweet and very welcoming I love the open options they have and the rest of the members are very sweet also
Everything!!
The wonderful people. Over the years, I have met the best people at the Y.
This YMCA is one of the best recreational facilities I have ever experienced. It is clean, safe and it has an impressive inventory of equipment and space for a variety of exercising options. What is most impressive is the staff. Everyone is so friendly and attentative. In addition, the trainers are exceptional. its is a great place to find new friends and engage in healthy living.
friendly staff, nice well maintained weight machines in circuit and weight room. generally well maintained and usually not too crowded if I can plan to arrive at a slow time.

Good value
The cleanliness of the locker room
My son loves 🎉🎈😍
My granddaughter couldn't wait to go to her lesson every week. She enjoyed the classes very much. Looking forward to her next session!
Not too crowded. Staff seems nice. Still new so I haven’t taken advantage of all the offerings.
The classes start on time, my son is learning a lot.
We had a great experience over 2 sessions with our almost 1 year old! We especially loved Mr. Billy. Thank you!
Billy is great
Overall, I'm very happy. However, I would like to see the instructors get in the water with the kids at the higher skill levels to help them understand concepts they are struggling with. My child is struggling with mastering breaststroke kick and cannot grasp what she needs to do from description alone. She needs to see and feel the correct movements.
Great program. Our son is really progressing.
Claire is amazing. A really great coach who is accessible and friendly. My 2 kids, my wife and myself love our classes with Claire!
Good supportive staff
My daughter is progressing tremendously! Great instructors and staff!
