Old Colony YMCA - Taunton Branch

Cindy Atwood

Swim lessons with Raizel has been phenomenal!!! She zeros in on the smallest of corrections that really have helped my transitions in the water! She notices the little things and explains nuances in such vivid detail that you cannot help but improve. I absolutely love her and am totally impressed by her young age, and what she has accomplished with me, decades her senior. I would highly recommend her not just for her abilities, but her level of kindness and caring as well as her hilarious sense of humor!! Give that girl a RAISE!!!

Hi, everybody! My name is, Attila Pride! I'm 44 years old, overweight and diabetic and where orthopedic shoes and have eyeglasses. My body needs to exercise. After going to a dietitian, now, I understand how to eat the correct foods and me exercising would benefit to my health. I had the opportunity to join the YMCA because my mother wanted me to attend water aerobics classes with her. Therefore, after joining the water aerobics class, I noticed another opportunity because I love karate to join the kickboxing class at the YMCA. While, attending kickboxing and water aerobics classes, I have noticed there are many different activities that I could enjoy taking to improve my health like their free weights / dumbbells / exercise equipment in the gym. I have not yet gone to the gym to exercise, but, yet, as of now, my two best classes are kickboxing as my top priority and water aerobics is next on my list of priorities. The YMCA is not just for children because I have a college associate's degree in general studies. I have seen a lot of people around the YMCA attending classes. The YMCA seems to look like it is a good place to make friends. Hopefully, I can find myself a long-term good, compatible, healthy, intelligent, humorous, considerate, religious, strong girlfriend that is interested in the same things that I am interested in at the YMCA. Please, try to be healthy by joining the YMCA, have a beautiful day, peace!

Unfortunately I can't give zero stars. This place is an absolute disaster unless you're there for the pool or child care, which seems to be all they care about; whatever brings them the most money. Freezing cold showers. Tiny, decrepit, and unsafe weight room, which of course was also downsized for more kid space. Equipment in both the weight room and main fitness area missing bolts and falling apart. Treadmills not cared for and slip which is a knee injury waiting to happen. Not to mention endless lawsuits waiting to happen for that and everything else. Unsupervised children everywhere; to include my wife's car getting hit with a basketball multiple times in the private lot out back last week. All staff (fitness, lifeguards, front desk, etc.) constantly on their cell phones and not doing a single bit of work. As for the credibility of this review, I worked at this Y for 9 years (held to much higher standards then), have a BS in exercise science, worked for years as a personal trainer, worked on fitness equipment for over a year, and currently manage a gym. If you must go to a Y, do yourself a favor and make the drive up 44 to Middleboro, since Taunton is an absolute embarrassment.
