Fantastic experience: The Waltham Y has been a welcoming place for us, and we look forward to going there for years to come. We've been going for a toddler swim class, and Mr. Jeff is a wonderful teacher, who made our toddler excited to be in the water, and engaged while learning new skills.

Fantastic experience: I'm really happy with the YMCA. Overall I think they're a great org and give a lot to the community. Pre-COVID I enjoyed using the Waltham gym/workout area. We've loved their pool and their 2020-2021 Learning Center has been wonderful for our 5 year old. So I definitely recommend them and appreciate them, not just as a place, but they feel like an important part of the Waltham community as a whole, too.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality The Waltham YMCA is a pleasure to visit...it is very clean, the staff is friendly and it has an excellent array of exercise equipment. When my Needham YMCA was closed due to COVID, I began using the Waltham Y, and have continued to go there some, even though Needham has re-opened.

Fantastic experience: As a participant in Enhanced Fitness Program at Waltham, I have experienced improved balance and flexibility. Denise Buckley is the instructor and has truly been a positive influence and great source of inspiration. The program is progressively vigorous which I welcome. Additionally, I appreciate her awareness and sensitivity to meet participants where they are and work towards individual goals despite varying fitness levels with the class at large. Her warm personality along with great music, spanning multi-generations really ADDS vigor and excitement to the class. I enjoy the cammeraderie and social connection as well. Denise ranks !10! Amazing staff/instructor team asset for Waltham Y.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I really like the pools. Especially the outdoor pool. I wish it was open longer in the fall and in the spring. The indoor pool is great also, but if I have a chance I will always swim outdoors. The life guards are always friendly and all the staff is excellent.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Welcoming, energetic and knowledgeable staff!!! Pool was great for the kids. We are looking forward to a fun-filled winter!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Functional fitness aquatics class was fantastic- my first time back in the pool since before the March 2020 pandemic closure. Great workout- we had the whole pool for class. The instructor made sure we were moving the whole time and had great music. Fun class. Looking forward to next week.

Fantastic experience: There is something for at the Y for the whole family. I am currently at kinder kickers with my four year old. My seven year old can’t wait to use the outdoor pool later today. I work with a personal training and my husband loves the elliptical. I also meet up with a friend that I met at the Y every Tuesday at Zumba. Yoga classes are great to stretch out after my PT kicks my butt! This summer my seven year old signed up for the YMCA summer camp. When we joined the Y we just wanted to get the kids in swim class as swimming is an important life skill. I didn’t realize at the time what a community builder the Waltham YMCA is and how it would become such an important part of our lives.

Fantastic experience: Incredible swim instructors for young kids. On our second cycle of lessons for beginners and we've seen huge improvements. Kids look forward to it every week. Nice clean facility as well.

Fantastic experience: I love the facility and services — more than that, the people who work there! From its beautiful hilltop location to the friendliness of staff, it's a haven for body, min d, and a and spirit, in keeping with the Y's tradition. Thank you for all you do.

Fantastic experience: We have been members for years and recommend the Y to all our family and friends. Great staff, wonderfully challenging classes, and awesome programs for kids! It’s a very clean and friendly environment. Fellow members have become new friends. The summer and winter are equally fun at the Y. I start my day there almost every day of the week!

Fantastic experience: CVS Waltham, one of my favorite place because I have 3 children's and they have what I need for them treatment.

Fantastic experience: Clean and well-maintained facilities. Covid protocol makes me feel safe and all the staff is nice and gentle.

Fantastic experience: Great organization with a great mission. This branch has plenty of classes, machines and two large pools indoor and out. The grounds are a little small so outdoor activities are more limited for kids camps. Small archery range and no climbing wall for example.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality We are loving our new programs. My 8 year old daughter just started with private swim lessons and with Sunday youth soccer. It’s safe, not crowded and we love the diversity!!!

Fantastic experience: Staff is very nice, the gym is kept clean and has a lot of machines. The pool is great though it gets full pretty fast when the outside pool closes for the winter. There is a sauna and steamroom in the locker rooms and a jacuzzi by the pool.

Fantastic experience: The infrastructure of Waltham YMCA is appreciable with huge Cardio room, weights room, studios for latin zumba, Y-pump, cycling, mixed fit and other varieties of group excercises. Waltham YMCA also has a huge outdoor and indoor swimming pools. Well maintained and thoroughly trained staff. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Another plus is that there is a babywatch section with spacious colorfully decorated area with two to three babywatchers while you burn your calories. Waltham YMCA always keeps me motivated to do my regular workout even after a long day. It revives me from inside.

Fantastic experience: A friendly staff member gave me a tour and sparked my interest in joining the YMCA. I like how social the "Y" is. You can join in on any game on the basketball court. I love the free weights and the cardio room. It's nice to have the baby sitting room in the center of the building with all windows so you can clearly see how the babies are being treated which is with love and care. (They are so cute by the way.) The swimming pool is awesome and with some of the water classes they have to offer makes it more enjoyable. There are so many different kinds of classes available, name it and they most likely have it. My favorite overall, after a intensive work out, I enjoy what I call the spa, which includes the sauna, steam room and the jaquzzi. It's nice to relax after working out. And they have showers for after which is ideal. Join the YMCA, there are many gyms out there but I like how the "Y" has some much more to offer. If you join they give you two free sessions with a personal trainer. What more of an incentive do you need to join.
