Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I would absolutely rate the Y a 10! The convenience, friendly staff, cleanliness, and availability of classes make it such a wonderful experience for our family.

I highly recommend the Y’s Sharks Swim Academy to anyone and everyone I speak to. Our son, has truly thrived since beginning his swimming journey and lessons at the Beverly Y.

We enjoy saying hello & goodbye to the fish friends in the lobby tank during our weekly visits.

We have loved watching his confidence, skills, and love for swimming grow. We are so grateful for the wonderful instructors and the positive, encouraging environment they provide.

Beautiful bathrooms and showers. Lots of the old style bikes that I like, not recumbent or spinning style with moving handlebars. Lots of floor space.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

This was my first time at the Beverly Y and I will definitely be back. I normally go to the marblehead Y as it is closer to my home but I was thoroughly impressed with the Beverly location. Everything was extremely clean, especially the women’s locker room. The full area was huge and all of the fitness equipment looked brand new. I took an aqua fitness class and the instructor Scott was terrific and you can tell he enjoys what he does.

More NEED daily exercise strengthens your heart, boosts your mood, and lowers your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart trouble. It also helps you manage your weight, sleep better, and keep your mind sharp as you grow older... There's no better place to start, than the Y

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Paul's kickboxing crew is expanding because of how great he is. I honestly get upset when I'm not able to get to his classes because of other events getting in the way (personal or swim meets). We have a diverse group of regulars who have formed our own little Y family and he is at the heart of it all. 100% promoting the Y mission.

Let's also be honest for those who are reading this and know me.... I'm not the easiest person and he deals with all of my nonsense and gives it right back. He's deserves gold medal for that alone :)

What do you like about our program and activities?

I've shared before in our leadership meetings how appreciative I am not only as an employee but also as a mom who watching her child grow because of the Y's influence. Last week, Jonathan had his first experience as CIT.

Day 1: J: I don't know how you do this all day. These kids just don't listen."
Day 2: J: "Today was a little bit better, but they still don't listen."
Day3: J: "Can I wear your staff shirt? They (campers) need to know I'm a counselor. A: Nope, your not on payroll, but your can wear Project Y shirt. End of the day- "Today was a good day."
Day4: J: Long pool story but basically he was wanted by the campers to play.
Day 5: J: "Guess what? I got dunked by 2 campers of the week" A: "What's that tell you?" J: "The kids like me." A: Do you think you'll apply next summer to be an actual counselor? J: Oh, Absolutely."

Week 2 is in full effect with a new group of kids and he was given a tie dyed "staff" shirt by another counselor. The highlight of the week (so far).

To see him so proud to be "working" and having younger children looking up and responding to him, is a proud mom moment. Thank you to Jimmy, Kenzie and the rest of the camp staff for giving him this opportunity to grow and me the "proud mom" moment.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I like how many classes are offered, the variety, and how many machines are offered. I do wish there were more classes after 5pm, as i work full time 9-5pm and cant attend classes unless they are between 6pm-9pm. I also wish there were more weekend classes. I love that I can visit different YMCAs when I travel too.

I especially love the HIIT and balance board classes with William.
