I love the classes. I find that I get a real workout in them. Nasheed and Julia are wonderful at conducting them too. They show a real interest in everyone and want us to get the most from each session so they make the classes fun.

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere to newcomers and those new to exercise.

Really like the Sunday Zumba class, chair yoga, and the child care

staff is so kind and helpful

The place is too small and packed especially cost the cost that is charged. We took the membership especially for kids' swimming but there is very limited availability for kids to swim through the week and when there is availability, it is packed, leaving no place for kids to actually learn swimming

Everyone is friendly, it is clean and very comfortable.

The biggest problem is the poor communication regarding the swimming schedule and pool occupancy. You can arrive expecting to swim, only to find that the pool is full, and this information is not available on the website.

I love the friends I’ve made and the classes! Super instructors!

You can follow up more with new members explaining how they can utilize the YMCA’s.Because now I’m utilizing 4 different locations in the metro area and my family is benefiting well.

Friendly people, fun/challenging fitness classes, lots of activities, childcare on site

I like the group fitness classes and I’m looking forward to the new building being finished

Extremely friendly front end staff, great instructors,

This facility has a variety of programs that is versatile. The staff is exceptional and professional. There is no doubt that the Y is committed to helping me achieve my fitness goals.

I would like to thank the West Essex YMCA aquatics team for the excellent experience we've had so far.

Antonio was extremely helpful in getting my daughters onto the private lesson list and matching them with instructors who fit their needs. He made the entire process smooth and easy for our family.

A special thank you as well to Erika M. and Greg S. They have both been fantastic instructors. They are patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable, and have been doing a great job helping my daughters improve their swimming technique and confidence in the water. We've already seen positive progress thanks to their guidance.

We truly appreciate the support and professionalism of the entire team and highly recommend the West Essex YMCA swim program.

Always friendly , helpful and very very clean !

I have had good experiences at this facilty. I enjoy the classes and instrutors. Also the front desk staff are extremely helpful.

Need clean steam room, people use strong smelling soaps, creams in the steam room.
Steam enhances the smell of them which is unbearable.

(1) Classes can't be rescheduled. (2) Not enough Classes on weekends for working parents. (3) Not enough outreach for inclusion classes to support kids on the spectrum (4) Teachers not trained on neurodiversity to support kids who are borderline on spectrum

They helped my parents during this hard time

My trainer works with me and my needs. He acquaints me with applicable machines and exceercises

The people who work there are very nice and the facility is clean but current facility doesn't meet the standard for the area- looking forward to the new facility.

The staff is helpful and professional . The classes have wonderful teachers when a consistent following !!

Great program offerings, weight room and cardio room

I would like to see more classes in the early morning once the gym

I mostly use the pool for classes? Need more variety. Also front desk staff is often unhelpful
, I have a credit for have people that have joined the Y . I have requested in writing (3 times)
for this to be credited to my monthly membership fee. Nothing. They seemed annoyed that I ask.

Convenient location. Staff is helpful. Swimming pool availablity for adult swim lanes could've been better but I guess that will be fixed once the new YMCA opens later in 2026

Front desk staff is sometimes effusive and warm welcoming members and other times says hardly anything

Pool is usually overcrowded. Lack of locker room availability. Parking lot an accident waiting to happen.

Convenient and accessible to the community. Variety of activities and classes offered including basketball and the gym, and pickleball for my mom.

Waiting for the new facility

Expert instructors,friendly,wide choice of programs to &most of all Barbara Santola👍Extremely talented and the Y. Is fortunate to have her.

Classes are great. Instructors have well planned out classes.

Easy to get to, lots of parking. Good equipment, lots of classes. Value for the money.

I am still not sure if I would recommend the pool, it depends on the month and schedule, and I have heard that the lanes at the new YMCA are going to be narrower.

The welcoming and supportive staff, the attention paid to the site, the myriad of classes and opportunities for great fitness and health!!!

More classes. Maybe an exercise class to Broadway music like Zumba. Chair Pilates

Because of classes and friendly attitudes of everyone involved

Love the set up and the warmth of the staff

Best deal in town. New facility coming soon.

Friendly atmosphere. Encouraging people and many of my local friends frequenting it.

VERY PLEASANT ATTMOSPHERE AND TRAINERS ARE VERY HELPFUL

I like the club very much. Looking forward to the new one.

My son uses the Y to swim. Livingston Y is making sure there is a small carve out of time for free swim for special needs individuals He loves it there !!!!

Make facility more accessible for handicapped people.We don’t like the gap in front of entrance.Covering it with doormat doesn’t make big difference.
We hope trust new construction will improve the accessibility for handicapped people.

Friendly staff

This past week alone one woman’s belongings were stolen from her locker in the locker room and it’s happened multiple times in the past. The pool area is typically not clean- only after pool is shut down and undergoes thorough cleaning. A lot more can be done in cleaning and security areas.

Classes atarting on time and not to be interrupted while in class are important.

Realabl and nice stuff members .
The classes are good for everyone, the trainers are great 👍 👌

It's been good

There is a lack of benches at peak hours. Also some of the attachments are worn down and slide around. It would also be nice if there was more than one punching bag but that is not a major concern for me.
