Came here for a quick workout and sauna because it's the closest Y to the Wrentham Outlet Mall,…read morewhere I dropped off my friend for her shopping expedition. What amazed me: 1. The staff member working in the fitness area (moderately sized but very nice quality equipment and lots of natural light) was actually DOING SOMETHING, i.e. walking around and putting stuff back in their proper places! Never seen that at any other Y I've been to, where staff just stand around, fiddle with their phones, and generally just use up oxygen---unless they are personal trainers working with a paying client. Not only that, the guy actually noticed that I was new and came up to me, introduced himself and offered help if I ever needed any! Absolutely flabberghasting staff behavior for a YMCA, lol! If only every Y were like this. 2. The fairly new, spacious, and coed sauna next to the pool area (there are no longer single sex saunas in the locker rooms, I was told) was actually heated to a decent temperature (190F according to the thermometer hanging on the wall at chest level) AND had two levels of seating so you could actually get a decent sweat on, as opposed to some Ys that for some boneheaded reason have only a single low bench which is completely useless because duh, heat RISES so why in the hell would you want to be sitting so low when it's already maxed out at some wimpy 150F? (Cough cough, Melrose and Framingham YMCAs.) The disadvantage of a poolside sauna though is that it's a pain to go back and forth back to the locker room shower for a cold rinse every 10-15 minutes, as opposed to a locker room sauna---but this is not a fatal flaw. 3. The treadmills were by a brand called Matrix I had never seen before and I got on one hoping that it wouldn't totally suck like the Precor treadmills---happily, it did not, though I was disappointed at how tiny the screens were after being spoiled by the huge 24" screens of the Life Fitness treadmills at my home Y in Cambridge. BUT it had one beautiful feature the big fancy LF treadmills lacked: a built in cooling fan at the top of the console, which was absolutely delightful! Wish this feature were standard on EVERY piece of gym cardio equipment, lol. Only a few minior gripes about this place: - Almost all the stationary bikes were the geriatric recumbent kind. No Keiser bikes, which are the only ones with decent ergonomics and that actually feel like you're pedaling a real bike. - Kettlebells are few and max out at 22kg, which is barely enough for one handed swings and presses, but much too light for loaded carries or two handed swings. - Oh and it'd be nice if they had some hanging boxing bags, or at least one. This is one of the things that sets the Cambridge Y apart: an abundance of free-hanging real boxing bags, not the useless water-base standing bags. This gym appears to have neither. Overall though, this is a very good Y and I will be sure to return next time I'm in the area!

Awesome audience, perfect performance area and super staff for our two 8/5/26 Hockomock area YMCA…read moreMusical Ventriloquist Comedy performances today. Miss Emily, Mr. Ross, and all the YMCA staff were especially helpful. Our 40" ventriloquist puppet sang "We are all here in Foxboro and we say thank you". After our Tennis Ball puppet sang our version of "Happy Happy Birthday", everyone joined in singing the traditional "Happy Birthday" to the young boy who will celebrate his birthday this month. Special thanks to the children who joined us on stage today to play our tambourines, maracas, and drumsticks in tempo with our music. Some even volunteered to demonstrate their new ventriloquial skills after choosing a puppet of their choice from our big drum case. Volunteers were encouraged to say their first name into the microphone and try moving the puppet's mouth three times as they said "One, Two, Three" with their new puppet voice. We especially want to thank the male and female YMCA counselors who volunteered to be our HUMAN DUMMIES, wear our male and female ventriloquist face masks, and help us sing our "No Bully Zone" (No, they did not sing at the same time... we're not that good!)

This YMCA is the closest one to my new home, and the best part is that they have lap swim all day…read morelong :) The facilities are a little older looking, and they do not have a great variety of classes during the evening hours - everything is this new body pump/flow stuff. A lot of the different classes are during the daytime hours, which really stinks for those of us who work during the day. I'm hoping that in time, they will expand their schedule. This gym has a cycling area, a walking track (for the rainy days) a basketball court, a small weights/cardio machine area...but best of all - a sauna and steam room for each gender. Once I saw the women's sauna, I was sold, and became a y member once again!

YMCA Pleasant Street Rocks!!…read more I Love the Y on Pleasant St. I love the people who work there, I love the atmosphere, I love the 'vibe'. Everyone has been so helpful and kind answering questions I have had. I feel welcomed and I feel comfortable. There is plenty of space, the equipment is in great condition, and the women's locker room is spotless. The recent updates in the locker room are great (love the new floor!). I am very happy here and recommend this location, especially to anyone who might be tentative about going to a gym. I went to four others gyms before this one and this place, for me, is exactly what I was looking for.

I swim here 3 days a week and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Keep up the great work!

She loves it so much, they do so many activities with the kids, the staff are amazing, they call you to give you updates on how your child is doing. They're responsive, kind and it feels good being able to trust your most prized possessions with the team. I rave about them to anyone that can listen. Truly amazing. I'd say any parent looking to send their kids for the summer or for short school vacations...it's worth it.

Despite verbal assurances that our card would not be charged automatically, we have been taken for hundreds of dollars over the years. My husband just met with our Credit Union agent and he said this is a notorious problem. What this YMCA in particular is doing is unconscionable. They are lying, they give verbal promises not to deduct money and then they are abusing their members by getting off on technicalities. Also, the pool is always cloudy and we used to show up for family swim time for their already small pool to be half taken up by a birthday party.

Best facility/apparatus, most clean, best location, parking, viewing spots for parents, and instructors, who really seem to care about teaching the kids. There aren't long waits to use the apparatus during classes like we've experienced at other gyms. The kids rarely stay idle. The front desk staff is friendly and tries their best to be accommodating with regards to getting you into the class time you're looking for. We've only been there a couple months but looking forward to seeing our daughter really grow in the sport!
