Happy to be back in a fitness and wellness space that is welcoming with a "meet users where they are" health centered philosophy.
I go here to the gym to weight-lift and I love it here! They offer a wide variety of group exercise classes that are fun and exclusive. They have fun programs throughout the year like the fitness challenge over the summer as well. The equipment is great and the fitness community is so welcoming and nice. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a good gym to go to :
The staff here at Raritan valley YMCA is the best I’ve seen. They are so friendly and are always there to help you with whatever you may need. The youth program there is great. After a long day at work, they make it fun to go to the gym!
The Y is more than a fitness facility, it is a group of compassionate people helping you in your health journey. They know me and my family by name and they are always looking for new ideas to provide everyone more tools to succeed. Luis, the fitness director is extremely hands on and runs the programs with people as individuals in mind. My favorite class is Sandy's Zumba. She really makes it welcoming for everyone, at any level she just wants people to have fun and enjoy themselves. The gym is open on reservation only basis and also they have outdoor classes like HIIT, Zumba, Y warrior and Yoga. Being outdoors allow for plenty of social distancing so it is a wonderful option to keep us healthy in the midst of this pandemic. I cannot be more grateful for what the Y provides to all it's members. From little to old you can really feel an atmosphere of acceptance.
The Raritan Valley YMCA is the best one yet, especially when it comes to youth programming. The new Fitness Director is great with the kids and is very passionate about what he does. I recommend this facility especially if you have kids!
Raritan Valley YMCA is an excellent place for the entire family to learn, and thrive in competitive sports. it has a fun environment, professional and friendly staff, and nice community members. There is something for everybody in the family: Zumba, Yoga classes for my wife, swimming, and basketball lessons for my young kids & my elder is in the competitive swim team, in addition for a clean, hygienic gym to me. The caring management, friendly staff, and professional coaches are what make me proud to be part of the Raritan Valley YMCA family.
Our kids have been enrolled in the Raritan Valley YMCA Aquatics program for 6 years now, first for swimming lessons and the summer swim program, and lately as member of Riptide, the Raritan Valley YMCA 's stellar swim team. Throughout the years, the wonderful aquatics staff has done an excellent job of teaching our sons swimming skills -- but what stands out even more in our personal experience is how staff continuously emphasized sportsmanship, self-esteem and self-respect, friendship, respect for others, goal-setting and team-building -- in the formative years where our sons soaked these messages up like sponges. We appreciate all the years of sound instruction, coaching, and modeling and we feel fortunate to continue to be a part of the YMCA family. We also want to give a special shout-out to the Raritan Valley YMCA's fantastic swim teachers and coaches who always go the twenty extra miles for these kids, tirelessly. Thank you all great staff!
