Waltham Family YMCA

"I really like and the recommend the Waltham Y. Good amount of equipment and space to work out, wonderful to use the outdoor pool, option for personal training, ample parking and friendly staff. I actually would give this 4.5 stars. I wish the women's locker room was a little nicer. It also has a slightly drab feel.Maybe brighter colors on the walls and/or different lighting."

"First time at this branch, the pool is well maintained and clean, temperature is great! The men’s steam room is excellent! Also clean and properly functional. There’s a sauna next door that was a bit timid, but I assume that’s just my timing, I didn’t wait long for it, just returned to the steam room. Next time I’ll explore the rest of the facility but staff were all friendly and helpful. Ample parking outside, a ball field and outdoor pool for the summer months apparently. It’s wonderful to have a functional pool nearby!"

"2023-09-05 5 stars, all exercise machines are new, Sauna & steam room working. 2023-02-14 1-star, Sauna has been down for more than 2 months and it has been down more than 6 moths in the last year. A fan in exercise room has been not working for about 3 weeks. It's been like that. Anything not working takes not days or weeks, but months to get fixed. 2023-01-12 3-star, Steam room like Sauna, both are down with any info. 2022-08-22 man's steam room not working for more than a month. no update info, but "nothing we can do about it". 2020-02-16 new air purification system installed in man's locker room & outside man's steam & sauna room. 2021-08-02 Both Sauna & steam room are open. Lots going on there. Well equipped with a indoor basketball court and both indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Sauna & steam room not open. A busy place with many programs. Plenty of parking spaces."

"I just started taking group swimming lesson at Waltham Y. The facility is clean, not too crowded. My swim instructor is Adam. He is fantastic. He is really good at breaking down the strokes, suggesting drills to each individual's needs to get comfortable with the strokes. He is patient and is able to give us individual attention despite being in a group setting. He has a calm demeanor which instills confidence as you try to learn to swim as an adult."

"I love this gym. The staff are super kind and helpful. The only negative is that the pool is not great. It’s often VERY crowded in the lap lanes, and has so much chlorine in it that it stings my skin. However, all other aspects besides the pool are great! I highly recommend this gym if swimming is not your primary form of exercise."
