Best Gyms with Child Care/child Watch near Framingham, Massachusetts

Members be aware: they don’t “value” you as a member just ur money!! Mind you I have been a member for over 5 years now and just requested my membership to be canceled based on the response of the manager Arlete Wilson . So I enrolled my teen to a class and the week leading to it he asked me that he wasn’t comfortable doing the class. So I reached out to get either a refund or a credit towards my account for a different class since I have 3 other children who enroll on a consistent basis. The person running this class responded by saying she won’t give neither a refund or credit as I didn’t have a valid reason to do so and perhaps I have make my child come to the class.. So I reached out to the manager in hopes of getting more assistance but no the answer was the same! Without any basis or reasoning just not even a credit on my account-so I said ok u can cancel My membership which she gladly accepted! Now if she was trying to keep a member happy I am sure she could have provided a credit to my account and if she really didnt want to loose a member she would Have tried to find other ways to resolve the matter at hand. To prove my point they don’t care about you they care about the money so much so that they actually lost more Money just to keep a class fee paid! Terrible terrible!

I’ve been a member of MetroWest YMCA for two years. Here is my honest opinion. I. Everyone is on their phones, either texting or scrolling constantly. Everyone is wired with headphones or ear buds, so everyone is in their own time and space. It’s a gathering placing for groups of high schools kids who don’t know shit, about how to properly use the gym equipment safely. They just congregate with their buddies and shoot the shit! Everyone has a ego, pushing heavy weight without using proper form. The primary. lifting is pumping up the triceps and biceps. The equipment is sub-standard with limited adjustments - Outdated. Very limited pro equipment. I still go three days a week. I get a good monthly membership and it’s close to where I live. I’m seventy-seven years old. I’ve been to different YMCA’s and pro gyms in various states since the age of fifteen. In the 1960’s it was body building and in the 1970’s powerlifting. Today, I’m able to work out, to stay strong. I have physical impairments that limit my range of motion, but I do what I can. Thanks

Biased. Great facility, very unfortunately for our family the pool schedule is biased. We joined to have an opportunity to cool off and exercise in the pool. It is so hard to find things to do with the kids that are cool in this summer heat. Some days there is family swim at 7 (when kids are not out) and other days there is NO swim time. All I am asking is for one lap lane block, for instance 12:05, to be committed to serving the families in this area. It is important to serve the entire community❤️.

I went there to try the gym out and they gave me a guest pass, I started using the gym and I was told I had to leave the gym bc I was wearing flip flops. I told the lady it was my first time that I had no way of knowing there was a closed toe shoes policy but she said she didn’t care and said I had to leave or put shoes on. Horrible customer service and not how you treat a new member who’s is trying out your gym

I was going here with my step father who is a member! I am also his PCA and I work for him! I have a fitness background and know what I am doing I was teach his some exercises so he can do because he needed some coaching mind you the prices for training at this gym are outrageous! Anyways I was teaching him some things to do at the gym besides a treadmill and was approached by a trainer who discriminated against my step fathers age and stated that I am not a trainer and that the exercise that I was having him do are not for his age group! Mind you she has no idea what his capabilities are! She stated that it was body building exercise! Which we were doing low weight low reps low sets!!! Them she had the audacity to say however if you are willing to join the trainers team we are will to hire you!! 🤣🤣🤣 what a joke The gym it self is so small barely enough equipment! And the bathrooms are so dirty and dingy! I tried to take a shower in the locker room and there were dead flies on the walls! The sauna only fits like 4 or 5 people and small! It honestly smells moldy! I was so confused with why you need a code to go into the locker rooms for adults but not the children’s! And also was confused at this because it feels like a daycare with so many children around and not an actual gym! It honestly felt like I was at Suburban Athletics Club but at least they closed their gym and focused solely on the childcare part! That is what the YMCA should do separate both the kids daycare/preschool to another building and expand their gym and have a better maintained facility!!! Anyways we will be canceling my dads membership tomorrow and switching to a much better gym down the street that doesn’t discriminate against age!!!
