I love the program for kids so i would definitely recommend it to other parents.

I love that everyone is respectful and helpful. They are very motivating and uplifting my children love it. They feel safe there and they have honestly been asking to come here rather than go to the outside basketball courts so thank you guys for being who you are and being available to so many people adults and children that need you. Stay amazing and smile because you all deserve to.

Traditional camp offers no planned activities for children throughout the day besides swimming. Child complains they spend the entire day outside doing nothing. When inside, they are sitting in the room also not doing much. Pickup takes at least 15 minutes. Will not return next summer.

Host more programs for fitness such as Zumba or dance related exercise classes for adults

Should up grades the equipments

The director of aquatics lied frequently after not communicating efficiently and clearly. She seemed happy to frustrate me and vindictive. I would never want anyone to come in contact with her. Behnoosh Shebastari is her name and I feel badly for anyone she is in contact with.

Gymnastics and swimming programs are great. The fitness center is very nice too

I pay to only use the gym and it’s very poorly maintain. Outdated machines, small and hot, have to circle around for wipes and trash cans.

Girls bathrooms need more maintenance, they were dirty

I was thinking of rejoining the Y at Somerville after 6 yrs. layoff. I tried the weights. The facility is nice and clean but the equipment appears to have not been properly maintained. I tried out one barbell and noticed the sleeves were not rotating. Looking more closely, I noticed the bearings were all crudded up after years of neglect. These barbells have to be cleaned and oiled regularly. Also, some of the cable attachments have disappeared and the remaining cable attachments are worn out and need replacement. I'm asking myself why I should pay gym membership way more than the competition for weight training when the equipment has been neglected and the management doesn't seem to give a ****. I went into the kickboxing room and found that the boxing speed bag setup, which I used to attach my speed bag to is no longer there. I was really looking forward to that as that is how I warm up.My cardiologist wants me to start walking on a treadmill, which is part of why I am thinking of rejoining the Y. I haven't tried the treadmills yet but after seeing the condition of the weightlifting equipment, I wonder if they are in decent shape and safe.

It has everything - pool, weight room, cardio area, basketball, multi purpose rooms. And its in Somerville one of my favorite small towns in NJ.

Great team, great facilities, affordable, and community focused. Happy to be a member and grateful that the facility is in my neighborhood.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good class offerings.

The gym, locker rooms and pool are very outdated and in need of significant upgrades and refurbishment. The building is sweltering in the summer due to a lock of proper air conditioning. I major overhaul is long overdue.

My son obtained his lifeguarding certification at the YMCA in Somerville. He had a fantastic time and we were quite pleased with the program. I, personally, learned how to swim in the same pool many years ago.

I subscribe to YMCA ti go to the pool. It is extremely difficult to find some time at which lanes are opened. Lanes are aways taken by lessons or swim Teams. Even the Saturday morning now. Not convenient at all.

Finish with all your construction, updates, etc.

classes are regularly cancelled; the floors in the group ex rooms are concrete; no space for kids to hang out/be watched; the member space was sent to the basement

Very friendly

Even with the renovations the Somerville YMCA is run down in places. The girls locker room looks like it should be in a prison. The shower is very run down. They don’t have removable shower heads like in the women’s room. This makes it very difficult to shower a toddler. The shower curtains have rips that leave huge gaps in the middle of the curtain. There’s a shelf that’s in the middle of nowhere. It’s really sad seeing a community building with areas in that condition.

Great place to workout

I'm just happy here. I don't feel stressed or overwhelmed. I like the pool. I like the sauna. I like all of the machines.

Friendly staff great coaches

The weight room is small and cannot really accommodate the number of people who use it even at non-peak hours. There is some equipment "missing" that would make it even better, e.g. more lat pulldown and row machines, a hack squat machine, duplicate leg machines, etc. Pretty much more of everything is needed. It is basically unusable at peak hours especially with the crowds of teenagers around. Other than that the pool and cardio equipment seem fine, and the classes offered are fine. I don't really make use of them though.
