YMCA

"Does not allow outside YMCA members without a fee of $10. Not even if you are from a Massachusetts YMCA."

"I LOVE THE Y! I've been a regular since it opened and have enjoyed classes, laps in the pool, after school program and childcare while I work out. The staff and trainers are all so professional and amazing at what they do. Margarita's classes are my favorite! We are truly lucky to have the YMCA on Martha's Vineyard!"

"No sauna. No basketball courts. No affiliation with other YMCAs (means out of state Y members pay to use). For a facility in such an upscale area, it’s lacking compared to most YMCAs I’ve been to."

"I've been coming to this gym on Martha's Vineyard for years and have always loved it. If you use the pool be careful that you use the correct kind of lane depending on what kind of poil exercises you do or you may get yelled at by Bob the senior lifeguard. This particular YMCA has slow, medium and fast lanes. I haven't seen this at any other Y and I have been to many. Bob the lifeguard yelled at me in front of everyone in the pool. Miserable man I tried to be friendly and say hello when I went 2 days prior and didn't get a response. If you're a lifeguard at a YMCA on a very touristy island during the summer you might want to be friendlier Bob. And if you don't like people at a public pool then don't do the job! He demanded that I get out of my lane and move to the slow lane when I only had about 10 minutes left. He admitted to me he was punching out in 5 minutes and planned on returning to using the lane I was in. Also the pool manager (didn't get her name) joined in with him and they both ganged up against me and we're so rude to me. I told the operations manager who was very nice and listened but I have a feeling nothing's going to be done. It's called reverse discrimination. The Y is probably afraid to crack down on the senior lifeguard because he's a senior and they let him do what he wants. He makes his own rules to serve his needs! He wanted me to get out of the pool and review all 20 some-odd rules. Planning on going back again next week and if I am treated the way I was last Thursday, it's hello board of directors I'd like to file a complaint against nasty Bob! Other than that unfortunate encounter it's a beautiful gym and pool!"

"I was robbed in the locker room weeks ago. The YMCA never investigated or informed me of any details there of. Possibly because someone on staff was involved. Don’t leave your stuff unattended or it might not be there when you return."
