Everything well so I like lots
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 I recognize the cost, but the facilities are very outdated
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.
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
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.
Have the staff set up and take down the pickleball nets. Allow more gym times in the summer for pickleball.
Newly renovated and clean facility. Staff and instructors are pleasant and highly qualified.
My daughter loves her gymnastics coaches. They challenge her, but are kind and supportive.
I love the YMCA but the cleanliness has really gone downhill. The women’s locker room needs a regular deep clean, especially the showers, and the pool is frankly disgusting. The weight room and machines are ok but the rest could really use some attention.
Not enough equipment. It needs more of each machine. Most of the cardio machines do not connect to AirPods. No natural light.
