Love working out here! The staff is always so nice and helpful, the gym just got renovated with new equipment so it feels like a brand new gym! And a steam room and sauna are always a great addition to an affordable gym membership. Wish I still lived locally just so I could keep coming here
The staff is what makes this Y so special—helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! It is clean including the changing room and the sauna and steam room are piping hot. The small pool is nice for exercising and a quieter pool environment. I haven’t used the exercise areas or gym. There’s sufficient parking and I’m just very grateful to have a membership. It is very affordable.
Friendly atmosphere but the pools need major cleaning. Especially the outdoor pool. It's open to members after camp hours but it's just disgusting with bandaids and bugs floating around
1.Steam room hasn't been operational in months 2. The locker rooms are carpet and retain smells and moisture. Pretty sure there not cleaned daily. 3. Lockers are from the 80's or early 90's so rust collect badly. 4. The staff is friendly. 5. Maintenance team is non existing. 6. Calisthetics area is nice. Not a terrible place to work out at but I do catch myself driving 30+ minutes away just for a more cleaner space and functional equipment.
I haven’t been here in months, but everything was completely renovated. Much better organization, systems, and brand new equipment. Laura was extremely helpful in showing me around and providing me with resources.
Very friendly and accepting place so far! I've just started going here to swim laps. I like the fact that this is the most inter-racial gym I've been to. I feel very comfortable here. I am hoping to meet other like-minded gay men here, while keeping this a welcoming and enjoyable place for all.
We love our Y membership! Super friendly staff in the Holyoke location!! Y membership was a great decision and well worth every penny.
Awesome to have a community focused facility available here in Holyoke. Family-feel and great staff here to help out. Clean and friendly environment. Nice variety of gym equipment, indoor pool, designated fitness rooms for yoga and other classes. Something to do for every age. Awesome visit!!

Pricey for daycare but they help with financially and good place for basketball
This place is absolutely awesome, something for everyone! community.
Very friendly staff. Clean environment and the pool is great.
Claustrophobic, too many plastic dividers so air flow is limited
It s really good to practice with people by your own and you can workout and you can go to the sauna the pool and stuff like that.
VERY NICE PEOPLE, GOOD SERVICE AND A WIDE VARIETY OF FITNESS EQUIPMENT................
Its fun to stay at the YMCA
Great family orientated facility from workouts right down to educating children in there learning programs with a friendly working staff
Good need bikes
A sports complex where they practice bolibol, basketball, handball, exercises, and on the court, they do variable episodes, very entertaining for children, young people and adults, I recommend it it is a great time with family and friends
Pool was actually very warm and my 2 year old son absolutely loved it!
Excellent place for all my rehab health needs. Very polite, helpful and courteous staff.

One of the most chaotic events I had ever been to.
The best YMCA in the area, clean, friendly, fun environment! Come ball on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-9pm. Bring your A game!
Love it
The Staff is great and the Y offers so many great activities that it would be hard pressed to not recommend it. They offer finacial aid for those who qualify so there is literally no reason to not sign up and enjoy everything the YMCA has to offer.
Im a new memeber and loving it
Just use limited gym service.
Love my gym!!!
Good gym. I had access due to a recovery program in Holyoke
This place is great because it has a swimming pool, weight room that has both free weights, machines and a cardio room. It also has a day care center. This place has a small parking lot with wheel chair accessible ramp and handicapped parking. It is very clean inside and the staff are nice people. They also offer different after school programs for kids. They even have a indoor basketball courts. I had an interview here a few months ago to be a certified personal trainer. But I ended up not getting the job. It would be great if I did get the job here cause this place is really a nice place inside. Back In 2004 i had an internship thing here at the fitness center for my college home work that went great.
A clean safe and quiet place to work out. Friendly and helpful staff. The locker rooms are always clean as well as the bathrooms.
Nice clean friendly
Treats members like family. Encorperates key values that help the community prosper.
Day camp for my grandchildren. They love it.
If you have any reservations about going to a Y, compared to say a fancier gym, theres no need. Just come in and youll see this place measures up just as well as any other place youve been. Its much more reasonable, and we have a great time and get a great work out there.
Love it...great place to exercise, swim, and do s Alot of stuff. It very close to where I live. The people there treat you very nice everyone is so friendly. You make good friends I been going there for over 27 years. I wouldnt trade it for any other place..they upgrade all theire exercise machine..very clean and calm place...they also have trainer...when you need help on any machine they have someone there all the time to help you out...very kids friendly..just call and they will help you out.. the best ever...
Kids waste ur time getting in the way of some workouts. They load up weights on a machine, then sit on their phones. Other than that annoying stuff, its nice

Great community building
Clean and safe. Great activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Love the Holyoke YMCA!
Nice staff. Clean area. A bit expensive for a gym membership especially if it a facility for people whose income is low.
I really recommend for swimming and working out (exersize).Also has personal trainers and other fun groups to be in. But one flaw is that you have to have a membership to do those things but overall the YMCA is awesome.
One of the best
Great place for exercise, reasonable cost and very diverse participants (racial/ethnic, age range, disabled/abled).
Good
Great
Its so fun I went there with my mom. Adults do their own thing while kids play games. then after that adults can play with the kids.
Warm Pool is always in use or closed. Nothing else to do in here.
Good place
Loves the welcomes
A Place with all the necessary services according to the clients needs
I love
The membership is too expensive to have the pool and the building closed so early, specially on the weekend. I go there because there is no other place around. I dont recommend it.
They have all kinds of classes and the people that work there are awesome, the air conditioning needs some work and the weight room is too small.
Friendly staff. Wish they had more hours for child watch.
fine
Great organization for the community
Gentrification is the MO of the place, and it is not as family friendly as it claims to be.
Nice place
Great y pool is chilly
I have been a member for many years. Great classes, great facility, and friendly staff.
Great place to get a great workout, equipment is up to date and well taken care of. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Niece taking swimming lessons
Fun but Sauna and sweat Room almost always Down
Im here 6-7 days a week and I dont have any complaints. My kids love both the child watch and the fit zone. We love to visit the family pool. I LOVE the cycle classes with Ben and cardio hip hop with Juan. The only issues Ive ever had have been with other people attended the gym which the YMCA would have no control over and have been a rare occasion anyways. They have a huge variety of weights and machines. Ive rarely had to wait for something. The staff has always been helpful and friendly. Ive lost 80lbs since I started. I did a few sessions with the trainer as well who was knowledgeable and made perfect 1 hour work outs to fit my time and my goals. I recommend it to anyone looking for a gym.
A great place for all exercises, and a fantastic staff.
Good staff treated me nice
Good place for exercise

Nice family gym
Clean good equipment polite front desk people..
Good for the community
Very fun
Love the Holyoke YMCA. The people are what make it truly great. My only wish is that you stayed open later on weekends, especially on Sundays. I am often wanting to come and swim, but the pool closes at 1:30PM! Way too early for me.
Has something for everyone. Not flashy, but Im there to workout, not do my hair and makeup and take pics of myself in the mirror.
Legendary civic commitment. Nice gym, too.
A little small but has the basics to get a decent free weight workout in. Squat rack, Smith machine, flat bench, free weights to 100 lbs.
