I like the machines. The. Gmy it’s so Clean.

Staff is very friendly and the hospitality is very good.

Very nice facilities with great staff

1) close to home 2) friendly staff 3) available swim lanes 4) warm pool water 5) not crowded 6) easy get "national" membership

The place looks great after the renovation from earlier this year. Great staff and clean facility. A+++

There is a very nice atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful! Lots of classes.

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere

This Y is extremely dated and feels as though you are walking into a middle school gymnasium

The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The facility was immaculate. It would get a 10 if parking was easier.

A staff member should be spending time showing new members how to use the equipment in the gym for the new members safety. Also I noticed that there are teenager, maybe Junior High children in the gym using the equipment unsupervised. I don't think that should be happening. In addition, I also see people wearing slides instead of sneakers in the gym and the using equipment which is just not safe. If there isn't a rule against that, there should be.

Ymca front desks. Very friendly and staff instructors well trained. Open 7 days a week for your family and friends

Too small

Great water exercise classes

Welcoming and helpful attitude of staff and members. Programs focused on helping community.

As far as the facility at the ymca areas seem clean and take care of. How ever the overall way the building is ran is absolutely terrible I would tell anyone thinking of having a child start gymnastics to run away. They re modeled the gym and closed off the entrance to walk to the gymnasium, making going downstairs to take a 6 person capacity elevator to go upstairs. There is a perfectly good hallway but nope sorry its closed. Has to be one if the most idiotic things someone could conjure up. Whoever had that idea isn't the dumbest person around but they better hope that person doesn't die. And if you do manage to make it the gym with your child intome,good look trying to find a seat. Most times syanding room only and obviously overcrowded. The future is bleak at the y at best.

Like how they work with Community Health for programs sponsored by RWJ Somerset.

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.

Pool schedule is frequently not updated and inaccurate on the website. My husband and I have complained about this numerous times. Also, teenagers in the weight room are disrespectful of the equipment and the employees in the weight room do not care and do not ask them to be more considerate with the machines. The Y employees in the weight room should be showing these kids how to use the machines correctly and not slamming the weights down on the machines. Also, parking is very much an issue since the back parking lot has been closed for summer. I often see employees parking in the crowded parking lot while we have to park down the street because the lot is full. Employees should be parking on the street to allow more gym members to be able to park in the lot.

This is the lowest number I have ever given. I love the instructors I have in aqua Zumba and chair yoga. They are providing quality programs. However, recent problems with ac in our scheduled class location, having chairs and weights readily available have been frustrating. One of the long term pool lifeguards is often rude to class participants. For these reasons I would find it difficult to encourage acquaintances to join the Y.

The staff are extrememly nice and helpful. I enjoy going to various classes and learning new skills.

I don't always think that the YMCA plans for possible situations. For example, during the summer it is difficult to find a parking spot in the main parking lot. This might be lessened if a drop off area for campers was designated. One year cones were set up for parents to drop off their children right in front of the YMCA. This situation will happen once the preschoolers come to the YMCA. Will there be desigated parking for the teaching staff? In addition, while the new roof was being installed, debris was falling into the pool. This was not safe or appealing to members and arrangements should have been made to hold the water exercise classes at a different location during that time.

In addition, the women's locker room could be a bit more clean. There is mold on a few of the shower curtains and the floors need a deep clean. The locker room cleaning has improved, but members were bringing in their own supplies to clean the locker room due to the extreme dirtiness of the locker room.

Will the YMCA accept the Silver Sneakers program etc...? Many other facilities accept this type of program.

Have disinfecting wipes in the weight room.

The date I went to exercise, the room with the exercise machines, treadmill did not have packaged anti- bacterial wipes for before and after cleaning of equipment; instead was large roll paper towel to rip off and giant spray bottle, labeled oddly, wasn't sure if supposed to use on machines. There was no one at the desk for the 45 minutes except for last 5-8 min. And was preoccupied with acquiring new members on the computer. I don't see how there is any employee guiding or helping set up machines to your size for sitting, or monitoring the use.

You consistently cancel classes and room away the spinning program. It’s very disappointing and difficult to maintain good health at this y.

Unfortunately, there are too many cancellation of classes and Pickleball. As it is, there aren’t many classes in timeframe that I am available for.. prefer daytime not evening. And the instructors seem to cancel very last minute, which is annoying because you have already arrived at the facility..

The women's locker room floor is filthy. I am concerned that when the preschool opens, parking will be a problem. Their staff should be prohibited from parking in the lot. Many y members are seniors and should be able to park in the lot. We have already given up so much space, making group classes difficult.
