Member Testimonials
Facility is great, wonderful way to connect with others, real oasis in the summer when it’s so hot, love the yoga classes.
I have only participated in the Live Strong and Fit for Life programs, however I was impressed with both...possibly due to the instructor, Lee Benton. I have seen the way the staff interacts with the members and felt the community created by the events, programs and attitude of the staff. It turns out that the number and kind of exercise machines and other amenities are actually secondary to the PEOPLE who the members encounter with each visit.
Excellent offerings for all ages
Convenient schedule; nice facility
Excellent instructors and a welcoming environment
I’m so happy that I joined! Now I can’t get enough of it. Comfortable and the staff is so helpful and friendly!
Very organized, safety seems to be a priority, great parent engagement and communication.
Great variety of classes, and the instructors are awesome!!
We love the Y and what it has to offer. However, the pickle ball needs to be open pickleball not just adult pickeball. There are kids that want to learn to play that are respectful but some of the older people have a problem with that. Mostly because they hang on the fact it says “adult” pickleball. I think that needs to change.
The Greater Beverly YMCA's facility is well kept and offers many activities. The staff is welcoming and friendly especially at the front desk. My initial contact was with Ansley who went above and beyond to make sure I had a comfortable experience during my free trial of the YMCA. Abby the Lifeguard Coordinator was very attentive during my time using the indoor pool. I am happy with my decision to become a member...its a great gym!
The center is clean and very spacious.
The different theme each week keeps camp exciting esp for those who attend all sessions. My kids always come home happy and are excited to go the next day!
Thank you for all that you do.
My granddaughter loves camp, can't wait to go each day. Thank you for all the activities you provide.
We love the pool at the Y! It’s big and clean with bright light, the ceilings are high, and a generous schedule for lap swimming. the locker rooms are bright and clean with plenty of lockers and space for changing and showers. We appreciate that there is a family locker room available for mixed groups at all genders.
We love the YMCA camps. Our children adore the staff and feel safe and respected.
My daughter loooves Sterling Woods camp! She has been the past few years and enjoys going every year. She loves the various activities and schedules and spending time with old friends and staff and meeting new friends and staff as well!
Wonderful staff and activities for my six year old. She loves going every day and comes home exhausted. Thank you for all you do!
My kids love all the activities and fight over who can tell us about their day first at the dinner table. My son is very active so I would like to be sure he eats before doing other activities.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!
Great hours of operation. Friendly staff and clientele.
It's modern, clean, has great equipment and pool, and the staff are friendly.
Good, helpful staff; clean locker rooms and pool area.
Such a great value! I loved being able to use multiple facilities in the North Shore area, and that each facility had different things to offer. The splash pad (Cape Ann) and the outdoor pool (Greater Beverly) were a big hit with my kids. I also found the equipment to be clean, new, in great condition, and well-organized. The workout areas were never too crowded and I found some fun new classes to take. If I lived in the area year-round, I would have loved to keep my membership, and I wish the YMCA where I live was half as nice!
Amazing customer service from your staff - always! Very warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Wish you offered more 30 and 45 minute group classes - that's my only feedback!
Nice clean affordable facility with friendly staff...However for the love of pete PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THE FAMILY LOCCKER ROOM WARMER!!!!
I swear my kids get sick after every swim lesson b/c they go from a cold pool to a freezing locker room. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way all the parents grumble about while we're watching lessons. We left for the winter to do the goldfish lessons b/c of it, and so have others. It's one small room you should be able to heat it without blowing the budget.
The kids love all the various activities and the personalities amongst the counselors.
Swimming, STEAM, arts and crafts
Everything
James had a great time with Camp Star at the Y Camp this summer! He loved the themes, the games, but the most talked about activity was SWIMMING!
The Beverly Y offers a wide variety of programming in a clean and spacious facility. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and supportive.
