Bangor Region YMCA

About

The Bangor Region YMCA, located at 17 2nd St, Bangor, ME, is a community-focused organization offering a wide array of programs and facilities for all ages. It provides amenities such as a fitness center, gymnasium, group exercise classes, and various aquatic programs, all aimed at promoting health, youth development, and social responsibility within the Bangor community.

The Bangor Region YMCA maintains two pools: the Lap Pool is kept at a temperature of 80-82 degrees Fahrenheit, and the Small Pool (often for warmer activities or therapy) is maintained at 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Bangor Y receives mixed feedback, with many members praising its clean, well-maintained facilities, including decent workout areas with good cardio and free weights (though some desire more machine variety), an impressive pool, and a cycling studio. Group fitness classes are highly commended for their fantastic instructors, challenging workouts, and welcoming community, often described as a cornerstone for fitness. However, significant negative feedback targets management and specific programs. Concerns include a poor head swim coach leading to swimmer departures, with management seemingly unresponsive to issues. There are also complaints about last-minute course cancellations (specifically a babysitters course being canceled twice) and severe issues with delayed refunds and unhelpful customer service, particularly from the aquatics manager, Sidney. While staff are generally viewed as nice, potential understaffing is mentioned. The historic Isaac Farrar mansion, utilized for offices, is noted as an interesting architectural feature.
