Nice pool for kids
Staff is great. Despite being in the middle of a renovation the facility was a pleasure to work out in. Pool was warm and locker rooms were clean. Great place to work out!
Cooperative staff nice facility
Love the AOA classes where I can really work hard (and really sweat) but they give options if it’s too much for you or if you need a bigger challenge. I especially like how they stress doing moves controlled (which is harder) instead of fast and relying on momentum.
Also, the diabetes prevention program is very useful for support to get on the right path.
The receptionist Jessica (?), early morning, and the lifeguard, Mark, are both friendly and approachable. My home pool has been closed for HVAC repairs. It's been great being able to swim and work out at the Somerville Y. I'll probably continue to go at least once a week.
Thank you,

Everything
Friendly, welcoming feeling.
That heated pool is awesome! I stopped in last week after work for a swim and that warm water felt so good, I was having such a hard time getting out. I kept telling myself, "ok, just one more lap and then I'm going to get out. Ok, ONE more lap and then I'm finally going to get out." I must have done that at least like ten times before I finally got out of the pool because I was enjoying it so much.
Somerville YMCA has been a pillar of youth development and a source of fitness and health possibilities for the overall community, especially seniors. It is good to see that the facilities are being improved. In addition to the tangible assets, such as facilities and equipment, the Y continues to be a home for socialization and friendship. It is a great place to meet with friends. The staff is helpful and friendly.
It will have a lot more more potential when your renovation is completed.
Good teachers and small class sizes make the program worth the money.
While she also thoroughly enjoyed her previous one, my daughter absolutely LOVES her gymnastics class this go round! She says her teacher is so nice and I can see the improvements she has been making as well.
My son mainly utilizes your pool. The lifeguards are exceptional
Everybody that works there is so helpful and friendly. That's so rare these days!
The class was held at the Bridgewater facility. The teacher, Peter, was excellent. He kept the material light but maintained an attention to detail. He was patient with those of us who were struggling with the material. He clearly likes his job and it showed in how he presented the class.
Pickle ball, yoga classes and ability to use other sites while Somerville is under construction
I love the fitness class with Mark
I enjoy aquatics exercises and water Zumba
Yoga chair and yoga in general.
Wellness center is fun.
I love the personal, is friendly and professional.
Thank you very much.
A lot of great classes are offered. It is also in a convenient location. The instructors for my daughter's classes have been very kind and helpful. The equipment in the gym is great, but it would be beneficial if there were a few one day classes to teach how to use the machines properly.
I really like the Somerville Y.
Most of the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The pool sticks to it's schedule very consistently. The lifeguards are polite and trained well. There's enough time allotted to lap swimming for all who like to do it — there are RARELY over-crowded lane issues. All this makes for a stress-free exercise experience. Very important these days.
Best staff and Aquatucs programs and lessons
Nice and knowledgeable instructors. Great people in charge at the front desk.
The personnel treat you always well and the campus, even undergoing refurbishment is accessible for the members.
the staff at the Y is very friendly and my daughter's gymnastics coach Rachel Covert is wonderful.
Instructor was very nice and introduced herself before class. Other members were nice and said hello. Love the warm water!! Most of the lesson I knew from my experience at the Hillsborough Y. Overall, good experience.
Great instructor
All staff are accommodating. Instructors are focused on their students and their needs to improve.
we like it very much, however it needs to improve more in terms of communications incase of class cancellations and refund policy as a result of this. Else, alternative arrangements needs to be made for cancelled classes.
Nice size and everyone so friendly and helpful.
