In general I like YMCA Waltham a lot. People who work there is very nice and helpful. I mostly use the pool. The looker room is clean, showers are clean and work well. There is also sauna and a steam room, both work well and clean. The pool schedule is organized the way which allow to swim laps almost all the time and that is very convenient. Normally it is no more than two people on lane. The price is also lower than in the pool which is nearby.

Giving four stars instead of five for two reasons. First, the music that was being played LOUD in the pool area was highly offensive rap music. Second, the lap swimming hours are totally unfair for those who swim laps. Otherwise it's a good ymca.

A bit dated, but easy to access. The free weights area is small and during rush hour is quite difficult to work out. Overall it has everything you need to have a quality workout.

Disappointing Experience with Aquatics Program at YMCA in WalthamMy recent experience with the aquatics program at YMCA in Waltham has been extremely disappointing due to poor management and lack of communication.Twice now, my child and I have arrived for swimming classes only to find that the instructor failed to show up. This left the remaining instructors with an overwhelming number of students, far beyond the recommended limit. Not only does this compromise the quality of instruction, but it also raises serious safety concerns for the children involved.What’s even more frustrating is the complete lack of support from management. There are no additional instructors available to help in such situations, and it seems there is no plan in place to prevent these occurrences or to handle them effectively when they do happen.Furthermore, there is a complete absence of communication from the management regarding cancellations or changes to the schedule. There have been instances where classes were canceled without any prior notification via phone call or email, leaving parents and students confused and inconvenienced.It’s unclear whether there are re-training courses for instructors scheduled in advance or if they are arranged hastily as a response to these incidents. Regardless, the lack of transparency and communication only adds to the frustration and dissatisfaction with the program.Overall, my experience with the aquatics program at YMCA in Waltham has been subpar, to say the least. I hope that the management takes these concerns seriously and implements necessary changes to improve the program’s efficiency, communication, and overall quality of instruction.I would caution other parents considering enrolling their children in this program to carefully weigh their options and consider alternative aquatics programs with better management and communication practices.

What a fantastic, supportive team they got! They are always looking to help you with anything you need. I have been going to the Waltham YMCA for a long time. We have a partnership with them at Beaverbrook STEP, Inc.! Thank you, Keith Miller

I just joined the YMCA and finished private swim lessons with Zeus. He was fantastic--he was very patient with me, had lots of great suggestions, and gave me plenty of things to practice. I highly recommend him and the Waltham YMCA!

I mostly take their classes and they are great. They have a big team of trainers and instructors all super friendly. I love to go their for a little Zumba class or others.

We love the pools, inside and out. Guards are terrific. The locker rooms are very clean, the equipment is top rate. Just did a Tai Chi class...excellent instructor. And the staff always help!

Management is terrible at this location. I accidentally signed up for a membership while signing my son up for swim lessons. This was my mistake and when I reached out to ask for a refund, Melissa repeatedly told me that I should, “do a better job taking care of my finances” and told me it was “impossible to sign up for a membership online and not be aware.” Not only was she completely disrespectful, but to essentially call me a liar was absolutely unprofessional. There were many ways she could have handled this, but the fact that she went to insulting me is absolutely unforgivable. YMCA- look into training your management teams. You have lost a good customer now.

Absolutely love this gym and miss it dearly. Before moving to New York, I went to the gym for the last two years. This gym was incredible and help me reach my fitness goals.loved how the dumbbells went up from 20 pound all the way to 115 pounds. All of the free weight benches are Cybex. Cybex is one of the best brands, and these benches were absolutely fantastic.There's something very special about this gym, and I wish it could be replicated everywhere

Have been utilizing the outdoor pool in these warmer summer days. Weekdays are lovely and not terribly busy, even with the camps. On a very hot summer Saturday it was, of course, busier; however, there was always some space to float around and adult swim every hour for fifteen minutes.
