About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
The Andover YMCA provides a traditional sauna as part of its aquatics area for gym members. This amenity is situated alongside an indoor pool and whirlpool, contributing to a recovery-focused environment within a clean facility. The presence of the sauna is noted as a standard offering for members. There is no mention of a dedicated cold plunge or specific sauna temperature details in member feedback.
Atmosphere
The facility maintains a clean environment and is often described as not being busy, contributing to a relaxed atmosphere. The venue shares a building with the Andover Community Center, which some members note can lead to confusion regarding which amenities are included with a YMCA membership versus those requiring an additional community center fee.
Staff
Member feedback on staff is mixed. Many members describe the staff as friendly, polite, and nice, with specific praise for the lifeguards. However, other members report negative experiences with specific leadership personnel, citing instances of perceived unprofessionalism and rudeness.
