Excellent

Everything well so I like lots

Overall satisfied, however there is slow progression within each class. Sometimes class sizes are large so each child does not get enough attention- which makes the short class pointless. Teachers are not all calibrated to do the same so have had better experiences in some sessions than in others.

Always a positive experience at the Y in Somerville.

The staff/trainers are continually rude and inconsiderate of other patrons. One trainer named Mark is at the facility almost every evening working out extremely loudly, grunting and yelling at full
volume, as well as singing. It is disruptive to everyone else in the space, however the staff at the desk don’t ask him to be more respectful. The staff is also frequently working out themselves, not near the desk or available if they are needed. Bathrooms are usually very dirty and often out of toilet paper or paper towels. some equipment is broken often too

Mens locker room and showers need work. I recognize the cost, but the facilities are very outdated

1) It would have been great if CIT had been offered as a one-week option for those who wanted to take other classes like gymnastics or cheer that are only available for a week.
2) The field trips were booked several weeks in advance, which is unusual for the past three to four years. It’s important to be able to register a week in advance because plans can change. It seems like there was a shift in how parents could cancel or reserve spots, as parents could now cancel instead of reserving a spot only if their child could attend.
3) The kids complained that this year’s activities were not well-planned. They were told to go and do something, but I’m not sure if this was always the case. In the past summer, the kids had not mentioned this issue.

the womens locker room is a digrace - dirty and broken machines that have not been replaced

Lacking in cleanliness

Love the place and the classes but the place could use cleaning. The shower curtains are slimy, consider washing them with bleach and rehang them. Sweeping daily would be great!

I left my watch by the pool. I called as I was driving home and I couldn’t get through to a person. I drove back to the Y. It was gone. There was a man sitting there who said that he had seen it 20 minutes earlier if they had answered the phone, maybe they could’ve went in and got it before someone stole it. Big disappointment. It was the first time I was using my membership.

Very friendly and cleaned

Like he classes and flexibility. Especially like I can attend any Y,s

You didn’t disappoint I just live in Pennsylvania, so I am very unlikely to recommend the Somerville. Why even though I do live in Bridgewater so I could recommend the Y to my Bridgewater friends so I will change my answer.

Honestly, I thought there would be more scheduled activities—that she would actually have swimming lessons—but they haven't even explained how to swim to her, and in fact, she doesn't want to go anymore. It’s like paying for daycare, which wasn't really what I was looking for; I wanted a place where she would learn and have fun at the same time. It’s a fine place for them to spend the day, but the parents should be told beforehand that there are no swimming lessons—that it’s just about spending the day there and the kids need to bring their own things to have fun.

The programs are good. However - The showers and locker rooms are rarely cleaned.

Staff is great. Maintenance should inspect men's shower and weight room every few days (e.g. leaky shower heads). Friday Functional Fitness class seems like second class citizens. The instructor Mark is great but lately not enough chairs for the attendees. Based on number of attendees please consider moving this to th gym from noon to 1 PM when the kids camp is over. AC in room #6 has been down for a long time. Maybe rent floor units until the AC is fixed? Thanks for asking.

I would recommend checking out the Y because it is very affordable and offers a wide variety of activities and exercises. The staff is friendly and the swimming pool is warm and clean.

I thought the pickleball court in the basement was poorly lighted and honestly subpar.

Friendly staff, nice gym that has everything you need!

Mark is a wonderful instructor and his functional fitness class is perfect for seniors.
He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and has a great sense of humor.
I have had a number of teachers in the years I have taken classes at the Y and I would have to say Mark is the best and his class is the most beneficial.

Staff are very friendly

I really like the Y

The front desk has been hit and miss when it comes to welcoming customers in. On certain days, I felt there were little rude

It would be nice to see more care given to maintenance in the locker rooms and showers. Cleaning seems sometimes spotty. People who are in the classes are very nice. A little more timely communication about cancelled or changed classes would be appreciated. Sometimes notifications arrive after we arrive at the Y.
