Member Testimonials
a clean cheerful environment.
i look forward to my time spent at Nir ymca
and feel grateful to live nearby
hope to get involved more w classes !!
I appreciate the friendly staff.
Wish that more body pump classes were offered in the evening.
I prefer Tuesday evening Zumba class be held in studio not the gym. Are class size is smaller. It's just to noisy.
Our family loves the YMCA. Nir is great, but we live in Hampstead. We'd love to see a full YMCA with a pool in this area. Thanks!
Welcoming, clean and feels safe.
Love the pool renovation!
Great community, great people, nice facilities!
Friendly atmosphere and many different opportunities to exercise.
variety of classes for all abilities
The beautiful facility and friendly helpful staff.
I like that you haven't increased my rate since I joined almost a year ago. $50/month is at the very top of the price point I can afford.
Now let me complain. My biggest complaint is that the group classes don't always start or end on time. Instructors should not be chatting with their friends in the class, puttin on their shoes, etc. when it is already time to BEGIN!
Pool
The diversity of members coming to the Y for a diversity of reasons. The Nir Y is ALWAYS moving forward making things better through thick and thin..
The center is beautiful and sparkling clean. Every possible fitness scenario is available. The staff is always warm and friendly, especially the lovely and brilliant Allon. The instructors are absolutely exceptional. The classes are fun and enjoyable and I see and feel results. I feel like a welcome family member among staff, instructors and fellow fitness enthusiasts, enjoying new friendships and socialization. I appreciate the diversity -- cultures and ages -- and always enjoy seeing the children. I love coming to Nir 5 days a week. It's the highlight of my week. Special shout out to Priscilla, Vidya, Lisa L and Will. They keep me fit and challenged.
Early morning staff and instructors are great.
I mainly use the workout room upstairs. People are really nice and courteous. Staff is great. I am on the pioneer program and really appreciate the YMCA offering this type of program for senior citizens. It is so important for those are disable or not monetarily able to make regular prices without this program.
Friendly safe challenging clean
I have truly enjoyed my time at the Nir Family YMCA and have always found it to be a pleasant experience whenever I go there. I typically only swim, although my wife has taken several yoga classes at the facility. I also very much like the renovations that have been made to the pool. It really turned out great!
I love the diversity of classes.
I Love the service and availability of resources that are provided
I have been a member of the Nir family YMCA for over 35 years. While I like the facilities, especially the lap pool, I enjoy the people as much. Most people are not pretentious at the Y, and the overall feeling is one of everyone’s striving to be their healthiest possible. Sometimes it feels like a family and I have met many new friends. The staff, for the most part, is friendly and responsive to your concerns.
Best pool available to public
Everyone is so friendly and so very helpful. I think that the livestrong program is great for cancer patients, you get to meet other people who have gone through the same thing and are here to talk about it. More people need to know how hard the trainers work to make us feel good.
Thanks!

Leandra...Feel so much better physically and

variety of programs. Don't like water aerobics always full within 3 minutes
I really like the fact that the classes start and end on time. Class sizes are small and the instructors are friendly. The pool area is clean and there is adequate seating for parents to observe. Also, the instructors cover the skills needed for each level.
I loved how the instruction was not too scary or fast-paced for my cautious kids, but it was encouraging enough to help them make good progress. I also loved having the lessons in an indoor pool, as I didn't have to worry about sunscreen!
Very fun to see the babies in the water and helped my 15 month old get used to being and playing in the water. Also helped us know some cute games to do in our pool that are age appropriate.
We love Liz Adams. She has been one-on-one with our 3 year old son for several months now and he adores her. Her instruction style and connection has made a new and slightly scary experience a pleasant and confidence-boosting one instead. He has noticeably improved his skills and he - now scarily to us - seems to be over-confident around water. She is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She makes us feel like she cares so deeply for him as a person and not just as a student or a job.
Our instructor was very nice and knowledgeable about swimming. Our son enjoyed his swim lessons and meeting new friends!
