Member Testimonials
Jane is a very good and patient swim instructor.
My son has been taking swim classes at the YMCA, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. He’s always excited to attend, which speaks volumes about how much he enjoys it. The instructors are incredibly patient and attentive, making sure each child feels supported and safe while learning. It's been a great environment for building both skills and confidence in the water. Highly recommend!
I love how Armondo took the time to explain the stroke mechanics to the kids in his class. His style of communication works so well for the kids and kept it fun while they learned. He also adjusted how he explained things for each kid so they'd understand. It's a great experience for the kids and I saw huge improvements in my daughter's ability over the course of the lessons.
Convenient location, wonderful variety of offerings, excellent staff, What’s not to like!
Friendly staff; not too crowded when I go in the morning to do circuit training or the elliptical; and nice to be kept informed through the regular emails about what’s going on in the space.
The welcoming atmosphere from staff and clients alike. The classes amazing.
The different programs that are available for all ages, as well the accommodations
I love everything. No complaints.
I like the fact that everyone is friendly and helpful. There’s community and family atmosphere that I really like about that Y.
As a parents, we thought it was great for our two children who both have Autism and ADHD to have a water safety course that includes swim skills on top of the swim lessons they took beforehand. The cost, with discount, was an excellent deal. The family locker room and changing area accommodate very well.
There is a great variety of exercises and interesting things that happen at Park Street YMCA. Unfortunately for me, it has not been so great in the last 2 years, There is no real help or
accommodation for anyone with disabilities. or physical challenges, The schedule is very strict and rigid, The bathrooms need at least one stool or bench as well as one one hand bar for the shower.
I loved going to the aquatic exercise class until I couldn't fully participate and had to stop going to the class because I was not able to keep up with the exercises. That really bothered me, There are exceptions to all the rules. Until I can fully participate in the class I had to stop coming.
That's a lot of wasted funds to not have access when needed.
There are a lot of things I enjoyed when I was able to move a lot. I am hoping I will be better able to enjoy some of the classes again, Senior strength level,, world dance, ,Chair Yoga, Tai Chi, and any senior friendly activities.
Aquatic senior class would be lovely if I could do that,
Everything.

Great Feldencrais class, and exercise classes.
Please, start a Rock Steady Boxing class for people with Parkinsons Disease!
Love the Y! The pool is a dream, and my whole family has loved our membership!
The variety of equipment and facilities for various activities is very good.
One piece of negative feedback: there is a nasty smell near the showers in the men’s locker room. Especially between the showers and the door to the pools. I have heard multiple members comment on it. Please address.
The Park Street YMCA offers a variety of strength training machines and cardio machines. In addition, there's enough equipment that there's no wait time. Everything is well maintained and clean. While I don't often take advantage there's a wide variety of classes for all kinds of interests and levels. I've taken some of these classes and they're always well worth it. Finally, the staff at the Y is the best! Thank you!
Safety around water is the best program and resource for the community. My daughter learned so many important skills to keep her safe in and near the pool.
Friendly, helpful staff. Many programs.
Great
All
Great facility! Every type of exercise mode you could want. 2 pools. Great classes all included in membership. Good hours. Nothing wanting!
I love that there are plenty of open opportunities to swim and do laps in the big pool. people are friendly, there are no hostile members. When you start a new group class, everybody is very helpful and they guide you how to do the series
Todo!
It’s clean and is usually not too crowded when I go.
