Friendly and well equipped gym, which is my focus these days.
Clean, usually you can get the equiptment without a long wait, hours good and price fair
Clean friendly staff plenty of equipment a great place to workout
I did an eGym training session and the trainer, Christian, was excellent. He was knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging and I really enjoyed the session. I’ve only ever had good experiences at this Y!
Clean facilities and friendly staff.
I like that there are a variety of exercise machines, especially Cardiac. You rarely have to wait for a treadmill to be available. And the greeter and staff are very personable and friendly.
After being a member now for 30 years, and a member of the Madison Y for 8 years prior to that, I find it unconscionable on your part that you do not offer a FREE membership to those age 75 and over and perhaps 66 and over. So many YMCA branches in neighboring states participate in Silver Sneakers - but not you. A couple of years ago I asked a young woman at the reception desk if they had free memberships for people who are at least 75 years of age. She said, "I think you have to be 90". That's one of the most insulting and stupid ideas I could hear coming from such a location. I believe I'm paying 76 or $80 per month at this point; there are other things but I think that's enough for now.
I find it so crowded when I go to the gym. There are times when I cannot even get a treadmill. My arrival time is usually between 8:30-9:00.
Everyone is extremely nice, patient and helpful. I love my classes and spending time with likeminded people. The Y is well run, clean and organized. It’s top notch.
I a member at Madison Y but go to Somerset when our lap pool is closed. Gorgeous Y, great facility, but your locker rooms need updating. Hope you make that happen when the money is in the budget.
The gym is a good program, the AOA classes are very good
Put a juice bar in the back and have healthier snacks options other than a vending machine
They have great classes, wonderful staff & very clean!

I like group exercise. In the late spring to fall the instructors cancel, classes cance or have random
Good classes, welcoming atmosphere
Friendly atmosphere. Lots of exercise classes and equipment. Clean environment.
Clean, good equipment, reasonable fees
Multiple weight lifting stations, easy to exercise muscles particularly for leg.
Large, clean, well maintained complex, with multiple choices of, and within, activities. Staff is extremely helpful, friendly and communicative. A+ facility!
Eric is a terrific personal trainer and the facility is first class.
I live in Somerville and attend the Y there.
My experience at Somerset Hills was fine!

The Somerset hills Y is an excellent facility with dedicated employees, trainers and programs. The front desk personnel alys have a smile on their faces and are extremely helpful. The entire staff and the Board should be congratulated for running this Y in an exemplary fashion. Thank you for all you do.
Best YMCA in the USA! New, modern, clean, great staff, hours and extensive facilities. #1
You have super classes. A great variety and time choices. The teachers are super qualified. Facility is beautiful. And more
I love the early morning group fitness classes. I LOVE the "CrossFit-like" small personal training sessions with Tracey. The ladies at the front desk and so nice and greet me every morning. It's always super clean and bright.
Staff is very friendly and helpful. E-Gym is great. Classes I have taken are also very good.
The Y is so well run - clean, friendly staff, something for all ages and lifestyles.
poor experience with swim instructor Stacey Irvine. She abruptly ended my autistic son's lessons with no valid reason. We complained but nothing happened. He was dispirited and stopped using the Y as much as we had until she did that.
So many classes are offered. There is something for everyone. The active older adults and Parkinson’s classes are of particular interest. The workout space with free weights, machines, treadmills, and stationary bicycles is huge. I can’t see it ever being crowded. The facility is clean and the staff is both professional and friendly.
The Y offers so many classes and has an abundance of weight and cardio equipment. Also, it's very clean and well maintained
Very welcoming and friendly facility. The equipment I need is always available.
I primarily use the weight-training area, so my feedback is focused on that space. The facility would benefit from updated strength-training equipment, additional accessories, and more consistent upkeep of the existing machines.
For example, while using the triceps-extension machine, I noticed that the cable/wire was visibly frayed and appeared close to breaking. This is both a usability concern and a potential safety issue. Equipment in this condition should be taken out of service and repaired or replaced promptly.
I recommend that the YMCA implement a documented biweekly inspection and preventive-maintenance schedule for every piece of fitness equipment. This should include checking cables, pulleys, pins, seats, pads, handles, and weight stacks; lubricating moving components; tightening hardware; and promptly repairing or replacing worn or unsafe parts. Regular maintenance would make the weight area safer, more reliable, and more enjoyable for members.
Good community spirit and lots of opportunities for fitness and fun!
It’s community and it’s a dynamic space, I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to participate at different times throughout the year
Classes are fun, instructive, healthful and always on time!!!
Great facilities and hours. Always clean, helpful staff. Our family loves the Y!
Great facilities and staff, convenient location, fair membership prices!
The environment, the people, everything.
The facility is spotless, the staff is very welcoming and the classes/schedule are very accommodating
Variety of workouts and programs the Y affords is just amazing
I like the community feel and the staff are wonderful. Also like the workout programs that are offered.
Had my first Pilates class with Bonnie, and I walked in sharing I might not be able to do all the exercises she taught. She reviewed what I brought and then offered modifications throughout the class and promised more next time! She was so gracious and helpful. So looking forward to the next class or any class she teaches!
Love all the different exercise and yoga classes.
Clean, friendly and well maintained
There's something for everyone. It is a positive force in our community.
It’s a wonderful facility filled with like-minded friends
good choice of classes and coaches are good.
The acoustics in the wellness center are such that the room is very loud. Surely there must be sound-deadening treatments that could be employed.
