Berkshire Family YMCA - Pittsfield Branch

Positive experience: Ok I'm rewriting my review basically the new gym is not on pare with the fitness centers in ma and trust me I been to far better fitness centers with much more exercise equipment then the one at the ymca there just anuff there to get it done that being said they really want a indoor track as if that's what going to make you lose weight the best. Now if I had been the one making the plan I would have left the basketball court were it was redone the floor and opened the space upstairs put the track and all the older equipment in the middle with the new equipment

Fantastic experience: Indoor pool. How could you go wrong? Classes are great. Tracy is a upbeat wholesome instructor! Can't go wrong when taking one of her fitness classes. They also have water aerobics. If you never tried water aerobics you should! The wellness center is beautiful

Positive experience: Nice facility with great swimming pool but men's locker room and lockers are in terrible shape. I've been a member for around 45 years and I don't believe the men's locker room has ever been upgraded. Worst yet, I've been told by the front desk personnel that upgrading the men's locker room is not planned as part of the upcoming 4 million dollar upgrade of the whole building. I couldn't believe it! I am hoping that they are wrong and that we will get a new or refurbished locker room.

Positive experience: The facility is well-maintained and staff is very welcoming and helpful. The main area I use is the gym. If you make this choice, know that you are still paying for the other amenities, which will cost around 45$ per month. What I end up with is a pretty darn expensive gym membership once my student discount expires. Unfortunately, many of the other members do not follow proper gym etiquette, and you will spend time picking up after others- especially the weights.
