Thomas M. Menino YMCA

Fantastic experience: The water fitness instructor (PAT) is excellent. She's pleasant, engaging, and very encouraging. She knows her stuff! She teaches effective workout methods; explains proper techniques, demonstrates the exercises; identifies different muscle groups, etc. The classes are fun; however; her expectations are high which results in a positive workout experience!Because of this and more, Pat's water aerobic classes, which I think should be called water fitness classes, are PHENOMENAL!I've been to an abundance of different water aerobics YMCA'S, including out-of-town, Pat is right at the TOP! CHALLENGE: Juniors & Seniors 9:00 a.m. (TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS & FRIDAYS)

Fantastic experience: My family loves the pool and aquatics program. This is a wonderful neighborhood resource! Pre-covid we also enjoyed the kids yoga classes on Saturdays.

Fantastic experience: The Menino Y is coming back. The HIIT class with Ali on Saturday was great. New cardio and weight equipment are back in place. Looking forward to a couple early morning yoga classes which I understand is in the works.

Fantastic experience: We enrolled our daughter in the baby swim classes and LOVED them! So much fun, and we learned a lot about water safety. Jose is an incredible instructor - he's great with the kids and always checks in to answer our questions. Awesome class all around, and we'd highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: The pool experience at the Menino YMCA, especially with the self proclaimed ´´Breakfast Club´´, feels more like a community than just a lap or an open swim session. Members stop to exchange life stories, daily news and small talk, and the membership is a harmonious, mutually caring and diverse mix that one could define as an ideal YMCA community! Most, if not all of us refer to the morning swim as, "the best part of our day.", and all that before 8:00 a.m! :)
