This is among the better gyms in the area, and it has a lot going for it. Staff are fantastic,…read moreequipment is very clean and well maintained, the amenities are nice, and the overall environment and vibes are great. However, it also has a big issue holding it back from being a truly great gym. Despite having among the highest fees in the area, equipment variety is lacking for both machines and free weights. For the latter, the problem is pretty simple: there's only one squat rack and dumbbell weight only goes to 100 lbs. Several of their competitors in the area have multiple racks and dumbbell weights that go to 125 or 150. If you need to squat or overhead press and someone is using the only rack, you're out of luck. If you want to incline bench with safeties, do rack pulls, or do Romanian Deadlifts without conventional deadlifting the bar up to the starting position then you prevent anyone else from squatting. It's unfortunate. Their machines are largely a mix of Nautilus, Precor, Icarian, and Paramount, with the Precor pieces being the newest and by far the standouts in terms of quality (for example they have easily the best preacher curl machine in the greater NB area). The Paramount machines are well-maintained, but they're quite old and have relatively low amounts of weight on their stacks. The Icarians basically all work great despite their age, and the Nautilus machines run the gamut from fantastic to kind of awful. For the most part the bases are covered, and there's a few exceptional pieces mixed in like the aforementioned preacher curl machine, but there's certain holes: 1. No hack squat, which especially stings since there's only one squat rack. Nautilus makes a great hack squat, it'd be nice to see one. 2. Both identical seated leg curl machines use a really uncomfortable and unusual design instead of the standard thigh pad you usually see. Swapping one for a different machine that uses the typical design would go a long way. 3. No pec deck 4. Unusually low stack weights for several important leg machines like Leg extensions, Calf raises, Adductors, and Abductors, all of which max out at weights 50-100+ pounds less than what many of these types of machines usually have. 5. Both of the identical nautilus chest press machines (the only chest machines in the whole gym) are quite underwhelming, which is ironic since Nautilus also makes IMO one of the best machine chest presses on the market in the form of the Nautilus Leverage Flat Press. This really has the potential to be by far the best gym in the area with just a few investments in their equipment, and they could appeal fully to trainees of all experience levels and motivations. I hope to see them do so, but in the mean time it's an unfortunate unrealized potential.

Go here pretty much most of the weekdays at different times of the day, usually in the mornings…read morewhen I am working, or afternoons/evenings when I have other things in the morning. Best time to go is in the mornings, as the late afternoons/evenings seem to be busiest at this gym. Gym is super clean with well-maintained equipment of various types, from dumbbells to barbells, cables and various machines to work out the different muscles in your body. Also has some group fitness rooms and a basketball/raquetball court which looks really nice, as well as a cycling studio. Locker rooms are pretty clean with showers and a sauna. Lastly, there is the hydromassage machines which were really relaxing to use, however they cost extra aside from the regular gym membership. Gym staff is very friendly and accommodating, from the personal trainers to the people that work the front desk, as well as the fellow patrons that attend this gym. For those looking for a good gym in the area, I would recommend this place for sure!

Tara Pacheco executive director of new bedford YMCA does not value the voice of minorities…read moreespecially males. For over ten years, I have been a YMCA member--not only at the New Bedford YMCA, but at multiple YMCA facilities across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including Wareham, Taunton, and Lincoln, RI. Every YMCA I have attended enforces a clear and consistent policy requiring members to wear a towel or bathing suit when entering the sauna or steam room. The New Bedford YMCA is the only exception I have ever encountered. At the New Bedford YMCA, it has become common for certain members--many of whom have been members for decades--to sit completely nude in the sauna and steam room without a towel or any form of coverage. This creates an uncomfortable and inappropriate environment, especially when others are stretching, cooling down, or using the facilities as intended. Over the past several years, I and several colleagues have made repeated complaints directly to Tara Pacheco regarding this issue. Unfortunately, no meaningful action has been taken. On multiple occasions, Tara stated that signage had been posted requiring members to remain covered in the sauna and steam room. I use the New Bedford YMCA and its locker room almost daily and have never seen such a sign. In contrast, every other YMCA I attend has clear, visible signage--often laminated or permanently mounted--stating this rule. When raising these concerns, Tara has repeatedly referenced an unrelated incident from many years ago involving inappropriate behavior on furniture that was later removed. While this demonstrates awareness of past issues in the locker room, it does not address the ongoing and current problem. At times, Tara has also stated that she has no control over what occurs in the men's locker room and has suggested that any signage was removed by members. If that were the case, it raises the question of why permanent signage--similar to what exists in other YMCA locations--has not been installed. As a result of this lack of enforcement, members often argue when asked to follow basic facility rules. Staff presence in the upstairs locker room is extremely limited, and intervention typically only occurs after conflicts escalate. Additional concerns include unsanitary behavior, such as members shaving without cleaning up afterward. There appear to be no consistent consequences or supervision addressing these issues. As a minority member, I feel my concerns and experiences have not been taken seriously. All I have asked for is consistent enforcement of the same rules followed at every other YMCA location. The absence of clear signage, supervision, and accountability has allowed this situation to continue unresolved. I am sharing this statement because I am exhausted from repeatedly raising the same concern without results. I wish this could have been addressed privately and respectfully, but after years without change, I feel my voice deserves to be heard.
