Good clean facility with a variety of classes and plenty of weight machines. You have an indoor pool and sauna. Pickleball courts are available for those who play. There is something for everyone at this YMCA.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I have been a faithful member at the Sterling Center Y for 40+(?) years! It's 5 minutes from home and I love it! They have done a great job keeping up with the latest fitness trends, the classes are great, pickleball courts readily available and, of course, I love the mission and all they do to make it accessible to everyone. I highly recommend that everyone joins the Y!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

We love our Beverly Y. We’re here 5 days a week often. It is so welcoming and has just so much enrichment for me and my kids, from kids club, to swim lessons, to open gymnasium time. My kids love it, I love it, and every single staff member is super professional and kind. Swim lessons are top notch. Also, a sauna and cold plunge are the cherry on top. We’re big fans.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

It’s a very nice facility, the people who work there great - my only complaint (and it has been addressed before, it is just something that seems ongoing) is that the tile floors around the pool are occasionally let to get to the point that they are really gross - greasy and dirty - and then finally it is hosed down with bleach or hydrogen peroxide or whatever is used …. just something to be aware of, becaall that bare foot traffic creates a LOT of dirt

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Overall great variety for all ages with a strong community passionate about fitness and wellness.

Equipment up to date, however the treadmills at Sterling need an evaluation. They are worn and could be replaced and/or a comprehensive tune. The belts, structure joints, and tech are inconsistent and often not working properly.

Love the Beverly Y and look forward to another successful year in 2027.

Beautiful modern facility! There is no comparison to my “home” Y of Salem! I specifically came for a class in the pool, which is spacious and can accommodate several different activities simultaneously. Imagine that.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

You offer a fantastic array of services, programs, opportunities. Your facility is spotless, with state-of-the-art equipment and multiple areas for members, such as the pool and fitness rooms. Your programs for kids are many and varied, and you are adding more for an often overlooked age group — 10-14 year olds — who are not kids, not teens. And your offerings for my age (79) are just plain awesome.

I appreciate also your active and innovative engagement with social issues facing Beverly, such as housing options, food drives, toy collections, discounted memberships, and free classes for residents with specific disabilities. Finally, I like that you are part of a network with even more opportunities ....

I do have trouble finding information I need on your website, as does your staff. I trust you're working on that ...

The Y always greets its clients with a smile and “ good morning!”
Joshua, in the upper Teen Center, is happy to see you and always has a kind word to share! It’s nice to have the Y as a community fitness and social drop in facility that brings people together!
