Montachusett Community Branch YMCA — Attraction in Fitchburg

Have to watch them hang out sitting on all the equipment. There is an Aerobic room. I've seen one class ever and that used to be heavy bags there for people to work out. So that way they don't have to punch A heavy bag pushed away in the corner. And change the spa code. They don't know how to change it. it's been the same punch code for over five years. This will be my last month paying for the spa or pretty much going to the gym at all. It's not worth the treadmill and the machines and weights I use. And don't get me started on the very old Men that just sit in the locker...

One of the better Ys I've belonged to. The facilities aren't incredibly modern compared to other gyms, but they are well maintained. The staff and the regulars are very friendly and welcoming, making it really easy to feel like a...
