Willing to help those in crisis

My kids enjoy it.

Looking forward to a new beginning at the new building, even if it's a small workout space.

Swimming.. pool was nice and warm and not crowded

Have more adult lap swim lanes open more often, and keep it for ADULTS only, nobody under 18.

It's very good facility for a family where parents can workout and younger kids will be under watch. Price wise it's reasonable. The staff is very friendly and pool facilities good too.

I'm leaving because I spend the winter in Fl. I enjoyed the Y and the classes.

Group activities are very good for all levels

The staff! Looking forward to the new YMCA opening in December 2026.

Aftercare at Riker hill has absolutely degraded in quality care for kids. All teachers are treating the kids horribly. My children who have been going there for years are extremely unhappy, come home with stress headaches. I’ve sent emails with feedback to Jeremy Lastra with no response. Zachary Gurmankin has been kind enough to respond but no action has been taken. Unacceptable and disappointing child care. The three teachers (ms Nicole, Mr Brandon (?) and one more teacher I don’t her name should be held responsible). It’s a sad state of affairs. It used to be great all these years. Not anymore.

better training for aftercare staff on developmentally appropriate positive behavior supports

I’m a swimmer and the pool is way overcrowded and there should be a limit how long you are allowed to swim

Great staff. My kids are very happy there!

Really great for our adult son who has autism. Looking forward to an even better experience at the new facility in December.

I love the friendly staff and instructors, the group fitness lineup, and the machines and equipment are in great condition.

Great staff

The only reason I continue going to YMCA is the proximity to my school. Ideally, I would go to Planet Fitness East Hanover-1/4th the cost, 20x the space, much better facilities, etc

No lap lane organization and/or access. Space is always taken up with other activities

We never were called to learn how to use the weights (Janice Pepper and Rich Levin)

Love the staff here and the group classes

The demand on the swimming pool during summer camps makes it impossible for working members to take a break midday and swim laps. Plus reliance on the YMCA360 app has resulted in insufficient communication with members on maintenance related closures or outages. Lastly, except for one or two staff members, the rest are terse and “just doing their jobs”😒very business-like

size of the pool. eventhough the number of students per group is kind of large, but they are properly being taught. Overall, my son is learning to swim in a real pool size.

Rasheed Ali is the best group instructor. When I first came to the ymca I could not walk without a walker . Rasheed has helped me so much. He has given me much confidence. He is very compassionate and helpful. I recommend him 1000%.

Communication.

I like the classes at the Y especially the swim classses. The lifeguards have been much more conscious of the space provided for the water classes.

I feel welcomed to the other new classes I
Have tried like Sculpt and Stretch. Thank you.
