Saugus Family YMCA and Gymnastics Center

Incredibly disappointed in the staff walking in. Made me feel incredibly unwelcome and was very unkind with a confusion while receptionist on the phone. I’m a metro north member and will never be returning here which is unfortunate as the facility was wonderful.

The staff here is INCREDIBLY friendly. I just took a tour of several YMCA facilities around the northern suburbs of Boston to find the right fit, and chose Saugus above the others. It is a nice, newer, clean facility with plenty of space to work out, and tons of parking. Because there aren't large crowds, there is virtually no wait times for exercise equipment, which is nice, because I can then go at my own pace. Isaac and Ashley at the front desk were wonderful and made me feel quite welcome. Would highly recommend this Y facility to anyone in the area who's looking for a gym!

My two girls started here pre COVID preschool and kindergarten. I was amazed how staff handled the transition and reopening. I thank the director for always staying on top of everything and communicating throughout the process. The preschool teachers are very creative and send my daughter home with all different types of work and art done. Kindergarten my daughter learned and advanced her reading and math. Never had any issues regarding my kids well being and I’m excited to see their experience for summer camp.

Teachers week is right around the corner! I personally wanted to make a post to let the YMCA know that I am so truly grateful for all they do! This year has been the hardest year for our family and not just because of the pandemic. Francesca is the director of my youngest daughters kindergarten/early learning program and she is THE BEST! There truly are no words to express how grateful we really are but, at least I can try. My daughter has been going here for almost 2 yrs now and she's the happiest she's ever been, a HUGE thanks to Francesca for being such an amazing help to our family/daughters. Francesca has been on top of everything through this pandemic and before the pandemic. Any questions that I had were always answered before I could even ask. All because of the dedication to our kids, Francesca has never dropped the ball and has gone above and beyond for all the kids/families. To have a team of people who truly care about each and every single child and family member, top notch would be an understatement! They not only have helped with my youngest daughter and her education but helping us all without question for everything we needed. My oldest daughter also came here, until recently when she aged out. Gina is the director of the older kids programs and she also is THE BEST!! She too helped my daughter grow into this ana amazing and helpful girl, that I'm lucky enough to call my daughter. Gina helped along with Francesca to be a stable support, teacher, guide, friend and like family. Gina helped my eldest who has a disability and never let that hold her back from thriving. My daughter went from a student to a helper and now soon to be a volunteer. We're so proud of her and all the hills she has climbed. I can tell you without a doubt, that The Saugus YMCA is the BEST we have ever been to or a part of. The lengths they go for each family and child is OUTSTANDING!! If I could give 10 🌟 I would!! There is help, learning, teaching, thriving, striving, detected teachers and directors here and we are lucky to have them all! If you are looking for a safe and happy learning team, The Saugus YMCA is the place for you and your family!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Francesca and Gina for being absolute rockstar's at your job!! They all deserve a raise!! Thank you to the teachers for all their hard work and passion that they give to our kids! You are all truly remarkable!! Thanks again, Jen and Family 😁❤🙏
