Member Testimonials
The Montclair YMCA is such a well run organization. I have always loved the tender, loving care that is given to that wonderful old building. I’ve loved going there for more than 40 years. everyone there is so friendly and helpful and the fitness programs are fantastic. It really has everything I want.
Instructors are patient and knowledgeable
Everything
Great selection of cardio and strength machines. Never too crowded. Friendly staff. Clean, nicely renovated men's locker room. Friendly staff. Can shoot some hoops if no game is on. Can park in the two-level adjoining garage. Free mini-safe to hold your keys, wallet, etc, while you work out. Y go anywhere else?
Ms. Claire has been a great teacher to our two kids, showing patience, good energy for kids, and helping us parents guide them.
Amazing value and excellent teaching. My daughter’s progress has been phenomenal.
Miss Claire is a great instructor. She cares about her students and is very helpful to the parents.
Your Swim class is very enjoyable and interesting. I have learned a lot.
Very friendly people, from staff members and other members who also participate in all the programs
The staff is always very pleasant
All staff work very hard to assure theirs is a clean and safe space. Front desk staff are welcoming and amazing
I appreciate that there was a huge effort to address the weight room issues
The only suggestion is about the ellipticals
There are ongoing issues just need information as to what equipment is or is not working
Thank you for your hard work
It shows
I like the:
*group classes;
*cleanliness of the facility;
*helpful staff members;
*instructors...they are very energetic and enthusiastic and present a challenging workout;
*Stretch and Relaxation area in the locker room. I haven't had an opportunity to use it, but I can imagine that it is a peaceful, private place for members to take a minute for themselves especially if they're not feeling well.
Some concerns are:
*the pipe in the women's steam room needs repair. It gushes water onto the floor and is very loud when the steam is generated. The tile work around the pipe is broken and needs to be replaced;
*the class start times are not always accurate;
*there was a basket in the women's locker room that is supposed to be filled with menstrual supplies. That basket needs to be a mainstay in the locker room. It needs to be filled with products that women need for that time of the month. When supplies run out, there needs to be some information about how to obtain the necessary supplies.
Thank you for your attention to these compliments and concerns.
Pools; meeting with friends
Timing
Like everything really - very happy that the weight room is being 'monitored' so we can all enjoy
The Montclair Y is a friendly place with great facilities and clean, well organized locker rooms.
Senior classes and coffee hour
Some classes overlap. Scheduling coordination between aquacise and gym classes could be better
Clean and staff in very friendly and helpful.
I’m very pleased with the facility! I come to swim 2-3 times per week.
The camaraderie of the people who attend the weekly fitness classes. We may vary greatly on the age spectrum but it's a chance to get together with each other and our favorite instructors!
I visit almost every day and I always leave with a much improved body and soul!
Place is clean, facility is well run, staff is courteous and friendly
The whole enchilada -- the vibe, the people, convenience --- all just right!
It's a beautiful facility! I don't use it enough but I'm so happy whenever I do. The staff is always so welcoming as well.
I am supremely impressed when it comes to the care and attention to detail when it comes to our youth.
The staff are so friendly and really nice people. Especially on reception downstairs and in the weight room. Also it’s great that it’s so inclusive for all ages and that it offers plenty for school age kids - positive experiences for them are so important.
I've been coming to the "Y" since 1980 and I love it. Whatever you want to do to support your physical well being and health you can find here at the Park Street Y,.. swimming pools, handball and squash courts, cardiac room, cycling room, huge weight room, and multi exercise circuit room. They also offer free cardio, yoga, and cycling classes and a lot more. There are 2 pools and one is a Olympic size pool.
There is just a ton of opportunities here at the Park Street "Y" to stay in shape and stay healthy and the staff is awesome. There is always someone here to help and advise on the proper way to use the machines or exercise. For many it has become a second family atmosphere which also makes every visit a enjoyable and beneficial experience. I can't say enough of positive things about the Montclair "Y" and I recommend it to anyone who wants to make their physical health a priority .
Great—friendly place with good equipment. Price seems crazy, but not if you look at it as paying for low income kids to participate in Y programs
Exhibit on YWCA is fantastic
Everything. I especially like the way they respect and treat seniors.
As a member for only 15 months, Park Street YMCA, is fantastic!!!
