    While Boston was shut down, this YMCA provided meals to the families in Boston and child care for our essential workers.

    I've been attending the YMCA on Huntington, and it's been a positive experience so far--especially…read morecompared to my past experience at another Y. Years ago, I tried swim lessons at the Dorchester location, and it was so poor and unhelpful that I had to request a refund and never went back. Needless to say, I was cautious about trying again. This Y has been different in all the right ways. Parts of the facility have been updated, and my swim experience has been excellent. Classes are small, which makes a huge difference. The instructors are skilled, attentive, and manage to give individualized support even in a group setting. Each swimmer gets their own reserved lane (there are four total), which makes the sessions feel structured and worthwhile. The facility also has a steam room and sauna--small, but available--and plenty of helpful swim tools on hand, like paddle boards and noodles. For changing, there are family, women's, and men's bathrooms, so there are options depending on your needs. Overall, I'm glad I gave the Y another chance. The Huntington location hasn't let me down, and I'm looking forward to continuing here.

    My review is NOT about the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON GYM. My review is about the YMCA OF GREATER…read moreBOSTON Residential program--Huntington House. IF ONLY the Housing section and VULNERABLE TENANTS were treated as wonderfully as the gym and gym members that would be nice. Tenants are watched like criminals from behind an ALWAYS CLOSED CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY office door, but Huntington House is not a prison, jail, halfway house, shelter, recovery/treatment center, or the like. It is simply low-income/subsidized housing where tenants are treated very disrespectfully by the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON'S agent CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY. The building is treated just as poorly as tenants. Hallways and common areas are rarely swept or cleaned. Trash bins are often placed inside on the residential hallway on at least one floor, instead of outside of the entrance door to the residential floors. Exterminations are rare and many tenants would probably describe their units as uninhabitable. Complaints, maintenance requests are either ignored or, well, ignored! The general negligence in oversight by the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON of CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY "property managers" is nonexistent EVEN when YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON officials are apprised of problems and, in my situation, even after multiple legal actions. AND I COULD GO ON AND ON...AND ON!!!...AND ON!!!!! INSTEAD, I will refer you to my Substack account. There you can read my claims about the many violations of my state, federal, and constitutional rights by the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON and CRUZ MANAGEMENT COMPANY since 2020 and YOU BE THE JUDGE in the comment section as to whether my rights were really violated. Search Still I Rise Above Hatred on Substack. MAYBE ONE DAY the YMCA OF GREATER BOSTON will use the many millions in donations per year to make living at the Huntington House as wonderful as exercising in the gym.
