For a town like Barrington, I expected more. The workout facilities are stuffed into the cellar like an afterthought. There’s hardly any natural light there. You feel like you are on top of each other When you are using the equipment. One visit to the Newport YMCA and you will see all you are missing. From clean, wide open workout spaces with beautiful views to hot/dry saunas, etc.

The swim lessons here are amazing with Miss Sara, my 3 year old special needs son does extremely well especially after being abandoned by his last swim school, she is so great with him and very patient, so glad I found this place, everyone seems very friendly and it's kept so clean

The Bayside Family YMCA has a friendly staff and outstanding facilities. This is a place that truly believes in offering their guests the best experience possible. We worked with their team in 2012 to create a positive aquatic venue and would highly recommend them to anyone!

This branch of the Y is suited mainly for families with children and older people. If you are looking for a Gold's Gym type setup forget it. The facilities are adequate. The pools are pretty good.What gets the Bayside YMCA 5 stars is the staff. There's always a friendly face, a smile and a hello when you both enter and leave. Staff is kind and trustworthy. My children have spent many days and hours at the Y, and I trust them completely.There are few places left where you are made to feel welcome and happy I must compliment the Bayside y on achieving this all too rare feat.

First time to join at YMCA. The staff there are amazing!! Not only are they very professional but go out of their way to help and inform you of all the activities you can take advantage of there. Place is very clean and spacious. My 9 year old is very happy there which means I am too. Lol.

I have been going to the Y in Barrington for almost a year 5 to 7 times a week and overall the place is a pleasure to go to. The staff is helpful the trainers always available and the gym has enough equipment where you never have to wait in line.I haven't ventured into the pool yet but it looks like an Olympic pool, can't wait to go in. Overall a place that deals with so many diverse people of all different ages the barrington Y is a pleasant part of my day.

Joined for the pool and can never use it because they have the school swim club in all afternoon and the local swim club in all evening. When I expressed my frustration (I am paying for something I can never use) I was told it would "calm down in March" and "go to the one in Seekonk" - which is a forty minute round trip. There is no point in selling this place as a YMCA with pool access if the only people that can use it are under 21. Overrated with no capacity to understand what balancing the needs of the community are...

I am a faculty member at Brown University and I live around. I joined this YMCA last year, and I like this YMCA, most of the staff members are very friendly except one young female staff member (around 20s) in downstairs Gym room. From my view, she is a kind of racist, because she always say hi or wave bye to specific party, and get troubles with some other parties.
