Chaplin Family YMCA

Large multiuse facility- gym, track, studios for classes, daycare, pools (2), water slide and more. Our 3 years old has attended swimming lessons since 3 months. Overall decent- some instructors are young and inexperienced/lacking confidence (but that’s everywhere). Change rooms couldUse updating for sure- showers are a bit gross. Otherwise satisfactory facility for family fitness although if I didn’t have kids I’d 100% be at GoodLife because their classes and equipment are better.

A great resource for our whole family. Clean and friendly. The swimming lessons are the best in the city, open gym for kids on Saturday mornings makes it easy for parents to work out, love the track on the mezzanine over the gym. Low income families can apply for a subsidized membership to access these great programs and resources too.

Best place one can spend the time, from 6:00- 22:00. It's not only gym, it's a community of wonderful people and very talented great instructors.

I totally love the Cambridge YMCA! It's always clean, they have very friendly staff, excellent facilities and a wide variety of programs. If I could, I'd go every day!

Great Gym my Wife is Disabled and she wanted a nice friendly Atmosphere were she could start to work on her mobility and strength.This is diffinanly the place to go Jeremy is an awesome instructor very patient and caring to each clients abilities very impressed with the interaction that we receive from the staff .If anyone is afraid of going to the gym because of thier physical condition don't be if you are able to get to the YMCA the staff will do thier best to make it a very pleasant inviting environment for you .

Bad experience with their swimming lessoms. My daughter has been swimming at Level 4 swimmer at City of Cambridge Aquatics program. We enrolled her into YMCA swimming lessons considering it will be better however their inexperienced swim instructors keep assessing her level ncorrectly in the first 3 weeks and wasted time. After 3 lessons and no advancement, when I argued with the Lead instructor Makyla and about to pull my daughter out, she was subjected to a rigorous assessment by Makyla for almost 30 minutes who later confirmed that my daughter is indeed an advanced swimmer and confirmed to move her to Swimmer batch. Prior to that assessment, Makyla keep arguing that her initial assessment was correct and that my daughter is a beginner. We just proved her wrong after the assessment. The whole experience was pathetic. We later sent an email to the center to cancel our membership, explaining the bad experience with Makyla and team but they did not even respond within 48 hrs.. Update: YMCA team responded later, apologised, and canceled the membership as per our request.

It's been a few years but I remember when this place opened up and how much fun the kids and I had.They have a waterside which they loved the most. The location is perfect and there was always lots of parking.

Great gym, love the plus change rooms with sauna, steam room and whirlpool.The weight section is outfitted well and generally busy but not over crowded and the group classes are run by great trainers.Ymca's are always the best place for both community and health/wellness.

Five stars!!The ymca Chaplin is the most open and accepting place I’ve ever had the pleasure of attending. After trying many other gyms, this is the only one I’ve felt comfortable and even excited to go back to every day. The staff plays a huge role in this. I would like to shout out one staff member in particular, Lune. Lune always has a smile on his face, and greets all the members with a positive attitude. His conversation is always something to look forward to, and he’s outed himself as being an amazing inspiration. Volunteering at the cat shelter, going on charity walks (such as coldest night), and aspiring to be a personal trainer to help make other trans folks feel more comfortable with working out are just a few of the amazing things this man does. Lune has been through so much as a person, and has earned the title of role model for me. 10/10 I recommend the Chaplin ymca to anyone who will listen!#TransRights
