Member Testimonials
I feel so lucky to have a great facility nearby. The staff are friendly and well qualified. I feel like I am getting the help, classes, equipment and facilities of a more expensive member club whilst I also get to support an organization with a community purpose.
Wide variety of classes and programs, great instructors and friendly people
Les Mills classes wish there were more
This facility has a lot of classes to choose from and the staff is so friendly
Clean, lot of amenities, great gym schedule, pickleball, eGym, lively, good atmosphere/vibe, friendly, etc..
it is useless to have a family membership when under 12 year old kids can not practice swimming with adults. What is the point to have a membership and have a swimming lesson then can not practice swimming at any time.
AOA classes are excellent.
next door to work. senior citizen discount. clean facility. machines are new. lots of classes.
Great place every that works there is so nice and some how can remember your name
Beautiful location that is well maintained. Enjoy the classes being offered.
I like the egym, helpful staff, clean locker rooms and the pools
I like most things about the experience. Convenient, good instructors. Love Jose’s yoga. You need another Pilates class at 6 and another instructor who will add some level of complexity for those who have taken the same Pilates class for years. Things I would improve - have more popular classes also on the evenings for working people. 5pm at the Somerset hills location is always hard.
More signs asking people to limit perfume and cologne. It should be banned as it makes others sick or unable to attend a class.
Love the e-gym too!
Frequency of group classes, community programs, friendly staff and instructors and quality of equipment.
Professional staff, great facilities, superb pool, and clean showers with a sauna! What more can one want?
Classes
Open clean gym
Variety of classes and gym equipment
Convenient
The support that is provided especially to minorities in the community. We had an unfortunate incidence with our son one day when he was swimming in the pool. He was being bullied by a white male, when we brought this to the attention of the reception, the manager came over & immediately helped us. As a minority who is non-white, I feel safe at this YMCA with my kids.
I use gym machines before adult lap swim
The front desk staff are helpful and filled with smiles!
The facility is clean.
Large facility, many options for exercise.
Desk staff is welcoming. Building is very clean. Wide range of group exercise classes available daily. Instructors are excellent and very encouraging.
Pleasant & helpful staff. Clean facility.
It's clean and the staff is helpful.
I love the pool exercise classes led by Donna, Alison and Elizabeth. The workout is excellent and I feel so good. Anthony and the maintenance crew are always on point. They respond when I point out an issue and keep things working. Lisa and Marilyn are wonderful delivering the AOA Game Changers. They respond to our suggestions and delivered Bain Games with Monica Shah, more Mexican Train and several Mahjong classes. I have made excellent friends that I treasure and YES I frequently tell people about the Y and the various activities.
Great and clean facilities, super friendly staff. Keep up the good work.
All the instructors are so professional. They give you lots of options during training. Wonderful to have such high level training at the YMCA in Basking Ridge
It is a great space, most staff members are nice. The equipments are amazing and the pools with all the windows are amazing, I come all the way from Mendham to swim and workout.
Thank you!
Note; if you had Aikido classes I would not miss one.
Note 2; I go to the swim fast clinic with my 13 year old son, we change in the family lockers space, I often see men there that do not accompany kids and I wonder, why don't they go in the adult lockers? I have to say it is creepy sometimes and I am happy that my kid is not there alone...
All the best

Been a member for 20+ years. Great people and lots of different programs to serve the community.
The Y has a wide range of exercise equipment.
Beth and Lisa are very responsive to members in terms of class scheduling and interest.
It's a welcoming and friendly place.
Scheduling of GroupX classes is easy... much better than the "cards" we used to have.
I like the 45 minute classes as they allow time to fit in a workout during a work day.
My requests/suggestions: more outdoor bootcamps (on a Wednesday would be great!). Would like to see if some 25 minute yin-yoga type classes for those who would like to try it or get extra stretching without a lot of time.
Reformer is a nice addition.
I like the occasional "promotional" packages for trainers but the last promo was sadly too expensive.
