What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this YMCA location present a mixed but predominantly negative view, primarily due to staff interactions. While facilities are generally praised, offering a good range of equipment, powerlifting, boxing options, a pool, and classes, and some find the location convenient and sign-up easy, there are significant and frequent complaints about the staff. Multiple reviewers describe front desk personnel as rude, unprofessional, unhelpful, unwelcoming, and even hostile, leading several to state they will not return. Conversely, one positive review specifically highlights staff as very friendly, helpful, nice, and professional.

I stopped in a few times while visiting family in Boston. The facilities are great and include plenty of options for everyone including some powerlifting and boxing equipment. The staff are also very friendly. I stopped in today around 10:30AM and the staff at the front desk were very helpful and incredibly nice and professional. This gym experience is just another example of why the YMCA is such a great membership!

i first went there last wednesday and that will be my last time ever going there. this is the most unprofessional YMCA i’ve ever been to. every front desk person is genuinely rude and have been SO UNHELPFUL.

The woman at the front desk was very unwelcoming and rude on Sunday. Tried to get in after buying a membership and was told to leave because the membership would not be active until after 24 hrs if done online. Went back he second time and after pursuing it again, the card worked and I was let in. Had the same thing happen to an old man before me. He paid, but since there was nothing in the computer, he was told that he's lying. Once I was done with my workout, the lady was adjusting the doors and holding one of them and as I was leaving, she let go of the door and the door slammed into my hand with its metal protrusion. Please work on training the staff to be more welcoming and willing to help or at least not be rude and hold grudges

came in for the first time on wednesday. i’m never coming back; facility was good, the attitude from the staff members weren’t. especially from the women in the black long hair, extremely rude.

It's right next to where I stay, so it's easy access to a good gym. They have a pool, workout classes, and a variety of fitness equipment for all levels. Sign up is a breeze, then get started right away. Pick up their monthly activities calendar to stay in the loop.
