I dont like that I have to pay additional coast for the saugus out door pool

Love the timing of fitness classes, Zumba, Stay Fit and Chair Yoga. Great for the senior members!

Great variety of activities

Quiet, clean, not crowded. Would love more exercise class options, including yoga or Pilates, after work hours or early morning.

Love the new equipment

The staff, the instructors, and all it offers makes it a very enjoyable experience.

Love the classes that are offered

In my experience, the people working at Saugus YMCA are notable for honoring the organization's Mission Statement. Thank you for this opportunity.

The variety of programs offered, the modern facilities and the expert staff.

Hours

Love the chair yoga class. The instructor is fabulous!
The receptionist is also very help and the facility is clean and updated.

Nice clean facilities, great classes and instructors.

The decisions made by leadership make me feel like as an adult member, I am the lowest priority and just funding family memberships. This is especially true for pickleball court times which are always given up for other activities. I am quitting as a result.

Great staff, location, gym equipment, maintenance, cleanliness

Last minute course cancellation. Fewer opportunities for weight classes or weight group fitness than other locations. Would like more evening and weekend offerings.

I like the workouts but wish you had a sauna.

I wish the new machines still had solitaire and games to play.

It’s expensive and classes that we had in the past are no longer available. The kick n punch was great with Diana and Louis class with bar weight and floor was very good. Saugus needs more evening variety for classes at 6:15-6:30.

I would g

The new cardio equipment only allows for digital tv, which lags severely in audio and video output on all treadmills and ellipticals. Despite the numerous channels, there is less local news (only one digital option down from the 4 options offered previously). The ellipticals are not friendly for shorter people as the middle platform for charging/water bottles/etc juts out, pushing shorter people back away from the screen and moving arms. I can only reach the bottom of the moving arms and have to stand on my tiptoes to reach the screen because the middle platform is in the way. The former erg, that had a rusted chain, is completely gone so there is no rowing option anymore. However, the staff, especially the front reception area workers and the young gentleman in the morning, are consistently fantastic. My reservations are with the new equipment setups, not the friendly staff.

13 years and hoping for many more. Love zumba

Accessibility/safety issues.
I have made management aware x2 no resolution presented yes

Good Classes. I'm 71 and I find the class that I am going to is wonderful.

Good variety of classes for various interests and energy levels

Please put paper towels , disinfectant spay and signs urging members to clean the equipment before and after use in the gym area. Some of the brand new equipment needs repair already .

The Y is very clean the employees extremely friendly everybody makes you feel very welcome. I think all the classes are great that you offer a wide range for everybody.

I'm a Saugus Y girl but there are many different classes that you do not offer in Saugus, which forces me to go to ither gyms. I would like to see an expanded offering for classes. Here are just a couple: kick boxing or boxing class restorative yoga or another gentle yoga womem w weights class 1 Competitive Challenging Pickleball offered. Every Y has CC with the exception of Saugus. The water refill station needs to be deep cleaned more frequently. Often looks moldy to me. At one point I asked 3 times in a matter of weeks and it still wasn't cleaned. Thank you for the opportunity to provide my input.

More Barre classes

Michelle is a wonderful teacher. My only complaint is the tough time trying to get into classes. There are so many people that belong to the gym.

Great instructors!

Fitness center.

Been going to Saugus Y for years, love all the instructors and people ther. I live all the updates and improvements too.

Variety and times

I joined because of pickleball. I took lessons first in the fall of 2022 and met some great people. I decided it would be worth it to join. That was back in January of 2023. I have extolled the wisdom of joining to many local players in my town! This year, 7 friends from our pickleball group in Winthrop are now members! @Metro North. The majority play in Saugus! We are a group that is friendly, welcoming, talented enough but most of all, want to have fun! That is not true elsewhere. Some pickleball players feel that the @Y" is their private club. If they do not want to play with you, because of gender, athletic ability or their perception of superiority, they become quite rude! Not in Saugus. Everyone encourages new players!

floors are slippery at the Saugus location. Get the weights out of the way for classes in the saugus fitness room. Lower the class size it is too crowded in the Sat Sun Zumba classes.

The equipment is all very good, but the lockers cannot be locked properly after being put in locks.

Everybody is really nice and there's a lot of programs for all ages and the gym is pretty good

The Saugus YMCA needs to do more to enforce patrons cleaning the equipment when completed. To many day visitors leave equipment dirty with sweat.

Pickleball program and staff are great Would like more class offerings such as Tai Chi for balance

I like the variety of classes. My one complaint is I do not see staff cleaning machines. There are no clean or dirty signs for the machines. Members are also not cleaning machines. If you put the signs back it may prompt members to clean after they are done. I see staff in Melrose cleaning machines.

I like your Zumba and Barre classes

Great classes & instructors!

Teens love everything

I love the TRX, yoga and the new equipment. This YMCA is always clean and the employees are friendly and always helpful

There are a variety of classes and programs for adults and children. The staff is very welcoming.

The staff are very friendly & helpful in the office & front desk. I just wish Saugus had an indoor pool for year round aquatic activites/class/programs I prefer to participate in. I am a senior citizen & luckily because Saugus is part of Metro North YMCAs. I can use 3-4 other locations with indoor pools. I live here, but go twice weekly to Melrose YMCA Aqua Stretch classes that meets my needs with osteoarthriris, etc. I have been going for 3+ years now & the class & instructor are both great!

Staff are always so friendly.

I like the new machines but need more new equipment, example, rowing machine, butterfly chest machine.
