Facilities
Everything seems to work. Staff are friendly and welcoming. It has everything I need.
Everything !
Clean and well maintained. The staff is very helpful and friendly. An added bonus are the classes offered (i.e. HIIT, Les Mills, etc.). The instructors are very good teachers and motivators (shout out to Suzanne J., Jay A. and Delia Q.).
I like that is never too busy.
Great facility and staff.
Has everything needed in a fitness and wellness enviroment from pickelball to pool! Classes for seniors, the chronically fit and childcare to boot. I especially am proud of the Y because it gives back to the community in free programs and subsitites. It gives a lot, over $1M a year back to the community. The way I see it, it is simple: Why not join the Y.
******OK to fix the number on the Y's philanthrophy and edit as needed DCD**************
The members
The group classes are great snd the facility is always spotlessly clean. I especially love my Zen Zone and Zumba Gold classes taught by Melissa. The pool is beautiful too.
Conducive environment and also the front desk is very friendly and educating and helpful
Loads of different equipment
I attend the group exercise, yoga, and spin classes, and I haven’t taken a single class I didn’t love. The instructors are true experts—they’re great at ensuring proper form while keeping the classes fun and engaging.
After a 10-year hiatus due to work obligations, I kept hearing that fitness needs to be a priority. These classes helped me finally make that shift. Because I genuinely enjoy attending, they’ve brought me back into a consistent fitness routine -- and I've made new friends along the way.
Thank you for creating such a motivating and supportive environment!
Working out
The newly renovated locker and shower areas are excellent and much needed improvements.
Bright, spacious and clean. Mostly great instructors and a good variety of classes
Everything but the parking
In the cycling studio, there are constant problems with the audio equipment - the headsets, microphone, speakers. Every instructor has problems, and they spend 10-20 minutes before each session trying to figure out what's not working and then trying to fix it. And please please use rechargeable batteries.
In the Berkeley Heights cycling studio, there are constant problems with the audio equipment. The headset, microphone, speakers give EVERY instructor a hard time. It's stressful for them, they seem to spend a good 10/15/20 minutes before each session just trying to figure out what's broken and how to fix it. Side note - please use rechargeable batteries.
I like the renovated facilities. After a work out, the showers and steam room are refreshing and clean.
Love the pool ... and the aw ings and grassy play areas. If only lap swims ran May through October and started at 6 am as in the past!
Clean, all machines work, friendly and helpful staff
great experience. Friendly people. lots of activities for young and old.
Great offerings. Love the classes, pickleball and pool. Staff is wonderful.
Great staff lots of equipment
We really enjoy gym. It has varieties of equipment, pool and classes.
The equipment was newer and I wish that Berkeley heights had the same. We took the class here because our original instructor was out and the sub just honestly isn’t very nice or helpful.
I would go back to Summit for some more classes.
Everyone at the Summit YMCA is extremely professional and go above and beyond to help us and solve any questions and problems. I have worked for years dealing with the public and clients and I appreciate it so much when I receive the attention and service expected.
Beyond that, I am surprised with the constant improvements in the installations.
I rarely leave reviews but the team in this locations deserves it.
Also, major props to the swimming lessons team. We have unsuccessfully tried to get my 4 year old to lose his fear of swimming for over a year now, even paying classes in other swimming schools.
5 minutes in, my son when from shaking and histerically crying to being super happy and actually not wanting to leave!
Front desk very helpful and friendly.
Variety of classes.
