YMCA of Southern Maine - Portland Branch

"I was visiting Portland and this YMCA was a 5 minute walk for me. I visited at 7-8am on weekdays for the cardio and gym room. Mostly empty at these times and the staff was extremely friendly. The equipment was pretty good for the price, had all the essential machines with squat and bench rack. One time visit was $12."

"The "Y" is amazing, from gym facilities, to basketball courts, to swimming pools - and all in between - plus special programs for kids.. And also providing housing - it is truly a blessing to have such a well-rounded community in my back yard. The staff (especially Ray) is right on point - they do a fantastic job making all the moving pieces work. Keep up the great work!"

"I love having a Y membership. Having access to a pool, workout room, classes, and sauna (at some locations) for the current adult membership fee is worth it to me. I appreciate having options. However, it is very frustrating to not be able to use any of the YMCA of Southern Maine locations as they are not offering reciprocity. I don’t even live out of state — just have a Y membership at a different branch. The YMCA is meant to be a welcoming place for all. Those of us without YMCA of Southern Maine branch memberships should absolutely be able to use these facilities also, especially if we are also Maine residents."

"I lived there for awhile it's OK but the building is full of Cockaroch. The pool is awesome. It's now 5/16/2022. I moved out 8and a half years now, I've walked by a lot and people that live there, wow."

"Grubby little place. Like the older days. Nothing special to look at but the staff are exceptionally nice. Exemplar, lovely young people mostly.....They make me smile. Machines are fine, swimming pool, sauna and steam room. That's nice to have available. Water pressure in showers could be better. C'est La Vie."
