This is a small partially manned gym that is open late and opens early…read more Pros-the owner is very nice and it is very much a family business. The machines work well and everything is very clean. I don't do classes but there is very much a community vibe to the classes and silver sneaker members. The treadmills and elliptical machines are newer and in good shape. They have a good selection of weight machines. Cons- Being manned part time it can be hard to get in touch with ownership and often they aren't there during the times that they post where it is supposed to be manned. No showers, just a small changing area. The selection of equipment in the free weight area is strange- they have 2 smith machines, 2 curl wedges and 2 chest press machines that you load weights onto. No normal bench press or squat racks or row equipment. The machines are nice but free weight area is pretty sad which is strange because you'd think it would be cheaper. All in all a very nice gym that could be perfect if it had a little bit better free weight equipment.

Wow where to start? Stayed at the men's residence upstairs for short stent. It was like animal…read moreHouse in there literally but no college. I remember waking up each morning and having to leave the room to use the bathroom early morning to try to get in there before others do. The stall doors were so short that anyone walking in could see the commode. That being said somebody would always clog the toilet and you would hear the noise knowing the water or the river was going to come downstream and you'd have to put your legs up or you would get wet. Some people would walk right in barefoot like it was a normal walk in the park nothing to see here. And then the mixed showering setup in the partying was way overboard. Many people had the jail mentality where they'd be showering and you'd come in there it's your towel and soap and they'd say oh there's more than enough room under one shower head. So some of us would go to the gym and then shower down there and frequenting many YMCA's this one is probably the most stuck up group of people that I've experienced. You're scared down there working out like everybody else on older machines by the way what business is it of theirs to ask what type of car you driving or how big is your house? Now they obviously knew that we were from the men's wing due to the residential cards that we had and free gym privileges. But some of the people that are stuck up tried to make people feel like they shouldn't be there. And people need to remember people stay at the y short-term or long-term for many different reasons from all walks of life The Good The bad and The ugly. And there might be the good in the bad in the men's wing but the only ugliness I seen was the comments from the people downstairs. If you can avoid this place like the plague. If not make sure to keep your feet up when the river comes running.

The worst YMCA in the local area, let me edit that…read more Things are still thrown out/stolen in fitplus. Also, apparently having a small child is a handicap now as there's parking spaces only people with small children can use. Really?? They're also perpetually empty and going to waste. Working out is suppose to uplift your day and make you feel good. I can count on this YMCA to almost always do the opposite. I've never had such a frustrating experience going to any gym. As soon as I'm able, I'm going to get a new gym membership elsewhere. The only reason I have any membership at this point is the sauna/steam room. I'm not sure why Middlesex county has such a weak selection of good gyms throughout the area.

I have been working with Jeff since 2016 since he was at another gym, then moved to this location…read moreand started his own gym. Jeff was mostly the trainer I worked with and he is great! I had never really been to a gym before so this was a new experience for me. It's a little expensive for me but I think it's worth it. If I went to a big box gym I wouldn't really know where to begin and probably not go since there isn't a scheduled time. One of the best things about coming here is anyone can do it. It's a really supportive environment and everyone who works here has been great so far.
