This was a good gym to have in an area that really doesn't have much going on. There were several…read moretimes where the internet and cable were unavailable, along with a few times where the water coolers needed to be replaced. Overall, it was a good experience. My biggest complaint is with the management... I had mentioned only doing month to month since I was unsure of when I would be moving out of the area and that it would most likely come at an unexpected time. I was reassured before signing up that my situation was understandable and that I only would have to give a few days notice to cancel... so I gave about 4-5 days notice over the phone (never had anyone call me back) and I left the key where they told me to. Well, a week and a half later I noticed that my account was still charged for a new month. I called and spoke with them and they completely blew off the fact that they told me I only needed to give them several days notice and told me to refer to the bottom of my contract that said I needed to give 30 days notice IN WRITING in order to successfully cancel my membership. So my warning to anyone looking to join...don't listen to what the management tells you, regardless of how agreeable they may seem.

Nice to have the fitness option in this area. It is like a large hotel gym - but PACKED with…read moreequipment. Basically one of everything, with maybe a few treadmills and ellipticals. If you are interested in floor space to free-train, you will be disappointed. There is only one claustrophobic spot and if someone else is there you are out of luck. Similarly for me when I needed to use a certain type of bike - great that they had it, but out of luck if someone was on it. The place is great when you are by yourself, but feels cramped very quickly with others working out as well - and if they happen to be talking... or choose not to wear deodorant... well you just have to roll with it because it's very tight. I had a similar problem with the management. I tried repeatedly to contact them, spoke to the main woman in person when I saw her and STILL no returned phone call. Turned into an unpleasant problem, and I try to avoid those. Definitely read your contract and know what you are getting into. And don't expect any contact with them. I would recommend trying for one month without an extended contract and then deciding. Shared bathroom in the hall. No showers.

I've been traveling in my RV for two weeks and my shower went out so I looked for a local YMCA…read more I entered the facility and wow it was very modern with child care, a pool, and a big weight room. I signed up for the day had a quick workout with very modern high quality equipment and took a refreshing shower. It was only $16 what a great value. Highly recommend!!

I'm so grateful for our local YMCA -- it's truly a special place! From the warm, welcoming front…read moredesk team (who always greet you by name and I especially love those daily motivational messages), to the personal trainers who genuinely care about your health and well-being, to the leadership that sets the tone with vision and heart -- you can feel their passion and commitment everywhere you go. This YMCA is the real deal. It's inspiring to see how much it's grown and how deeply it continues to invest in the well-being of our community. Thank you for creating such a positive, uplifting environment! The new EGYM is an amazing addition -- a smart, adaptive fitness system that automatically adjusts to your height, weight, and strength for a complete full-body workout in just 22 minutes. I tried it last night, got my band, and can't wait to go back this morning! It's a total game-changer and I'm excited to make it part of my regular routine. A huge thank-you to Erina McWilliam-Lopez, Executive Director, the Board of Trustees and Mr. MacLeod for your leadership and vision -- and to every single staff member at the Y for making it such a welcoming and encouraging space. This YMCA has truly made a difference in my life, and I'm so appreciative of all that you do!

I've been away from the gym for quite a while now, so I was a little nervous about signing up at…read moreMAC. I'm glad I did. The good: --Plenty of cardio machines (and about half have TVs). --A variety of weight machines, free weights, and an area to do other non-weight lifting exercises. (I'm kind of vague here since I only do cardio.) --Friendly staff. (This is important to me. I hate feeling like I'm being judged.) --No children / young teenagers. --Locker room/bathroom has been clean every time I've been there. The neutral: --The juice bar. It's tempting. I always want to get something, but it's not cheap ($5 and up?)... I haven't tried anything yet, and I don't plan to, so I can't comment on the quality of the drinks. --Personal training & TRX suspension training. Considering I'm already paying for a gym membership I can't afford, they're out of my price range. I'm happy that the option is there, though, and I hope to take advantage of them eventually. --Hours are great for early birds, but I'm an insomniac. I love working out at 2 or 3am when I can't sleep. I know that's an unreasonable request, though, so I'm not holding it against them. I DO think that closing at 9pm is a bit early, though -- and they close even earlier on weekends. --Plenty of parking. (Trying to park at the YMCA sucked, so this is pretty wonderful for someone who can't parallel park.) The bad: --Price. It's expensive to join as a month-to-month member ($50, plus a yearly fee [an extra $20?] and some other fee I might've forgotten). It's less expensive ($40/month?) if you sign a year-long contract. It's definitely worth checking out. They have three day passes, if you'd like to work out for a few days without committing... so what's stopping you?

Management and staff are very rude. Tiny space, often crowded. There are better gyms in the area,…read morefor the money. The good: 1) Equipment is shiny and new. 2) Place is clean 3) Trainers seem knowledgeable. The bad: 1) Overcrowded. Small space. Someone will be on top of you, or using the machines you want. 2) TRX should be included in membership. Lots of gym for less $ have TRX included. 3) Only one set of each weight (i.e., one set of 15 lb, one 10, one 25 lb, etc.) so if in use, you are out of luck. 4) Leg press is weird and hard to use. Some of the equipment for resistance training it out of date. 5) Rude, unhelpful staff.

Yoga has never been my exercise of choice; I'm not flexible, I have horrible balance, and I can't…read morefollow verbal instructions while hanging upside down. However, I know I need yoga and had finally found an excellent studio in Central MA....and then moved to Gloucester. I tried another studio here and suffered from my usual yoga anxiety so thought I'd try Cape Ann Power Yoga. The name scared me a bit but the price was outstanding; $10 a class...no really, it's $10 a class. AND they have classes at 5:30 in the morning which is perfect for me. I've been three times and cannot recommend it highly enough. The instructors are welcoming, encouraging, and their cues are outstanding. It appears there are all levels in the class from folks like me to folks who are obviously very advanced in their skills. And these veterans, unlike accomplished yogi in some studios, are focused on their own practices, and waste no time judging others. I love it here; I actually like going to yoga class.

I'm not an experienced yoga practitioner; I'm also a "mature" woman. I recommend Cape Ann Power…read moreYoga for their supportive environment and willingness to take people where they are--beginners to advanced. Dave has offered wonderful tips on how to get through a class that might be very challenging for you on any given day, and has also offered practical advice on improving alignment for postures. The studio is hot, but you so get used to it. The space is clean and open.
