Member Testimonials
Having been a member since 1970's (off an on), I feel that the YMCA is part of my life.
Currently I enjoy swimming laps few times a week if possible.
I like the facilities and the family environment it provides to the members.
The front desk is very helpful and welcoming.
Great machines, fun and challenging fitness classes, and a CLEAN place to exercise. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. I actually look forward to coming here and working out!
The YMCA refreshes me physically, mentally, and socially. The Y is the best antidote to life's humdrum routine, and I cherish the relationships it has nurtured.
The welcoming experience.
My classes are great, the music so motivating!
Pool steam room. Very clean
I love the number of equipment available for training and the hours of operation. There are a plethora of opportunities to improve your health.
Great clean gym and pool. with nice people throughout.
The friendly people at the desk. THe online 360 classes
Proximity to home, so much choice that I cannot not find a class to do whenever I have an opening.
What I don’t like though is that some teachers are not good enough to lead a zumba class. There is only one teacher who does an amazing job ( and we absolutely live him) at firing up a zumba class. Also I wish the rooms would be cleaner.
Honestly I haven’t been since Covid but I kept my membership active. Will come back soon.
I was seriously afraid of the water most of my life. Had a bad experience. I took several swimming classes there and now I can swim and dive from the side of the pool. Before my classes, I couldn’t even jump off the side of the pool into the water. It’s a great resource! I am looking forward to returning.
Friendly staff, clean showers, variety of classes, clean pool (although I recall the water used to be cleaner a year or two ago). I also love all the activities for the kids.
Some requests:
1. Could you put in a recyling bin in the locker rooms? I often have plastic shampoos and sometimes water bottles that should be recycled.
2. Could you fix the swimsuit spinner machine that dries the suits?
3. Can we have the towel service back?
As a senior, I am happy about the variety of exercise available for my age group. I find the staff welcoming and professional.
I love being part of the Y's mission.
It’s clean and friendly and convenient.

the convenience
I just moved back to Montclair after living elsewhere for 19 years. One of the first things I wanted to do was join the YMCA because I was a member for years when I lived in this area. I am still navigating my way to getting there to join the yoga classes and to use the pool. When I left Montclair, I was 50 and now that I am 70, I can see that it will be an entirely new experience! I am looking forward to starting a regular attendance very soon. Thanks.
