What a disappointment, not all gyms have same equipment. I figured this gym would be up to date but their MATRIX cardio machines are old & not up to 2025 standards. They don't even have any of the pictured one below.....NEEDED FOR HANDICAPPED PEOPLE......the place is clean & well managed, but ignorant when it comes to needs of people with leg amputee prosthetics. I will change my rating if they include 2-3 leased machines like one below
Clean, bright, friendly staff. Smaller than some of the other Boston-area YMCAs, still manages to offer a good selection of classes and services.
Visited the YMCA center on a very hot day. The young lady who was working at the front desk is very friendly! Totally recommend the center
It's a small gym, no doubt, but definitely has pretty much everything you could need. If you're a gym rat who NEEDS a rack at all times, there's only one for everyone to share, but that being said, the gym-goers at this Y are generally not of that variety and you might only need to wait for one person to use the rack ahead of you if at all. The staff are friendly, the facilities are always clean, the Zumba classes on Saturday and Sunday mornings are SO good (some of the best in Greater Boston, no doubt). For folks hating on this Y, they're just used to bigger more glamorous gyms. This place definitely does the job and is so convenient if you live in the area.
This YMCA branch has become a real life-saver for me this winter as the temperatures dropped and I couldn’t work out/run outside anymore. Their covid-related reservation system is also a good incentive not to skip gym and to schedule your busy day around the workouts. Also love the fact that I can just come in and work out at my own pace - no pressure to take group classes/personal training sessions that sometimes occurs in “regular” gyms. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The only downside is that it’s almost impossible to sign up for the swimming pool - it’s almost perpetually overbooked!
