Member Testimonials
A large number of activities, classes and equipment to meet anyone’s activity goals!
I am a swimmer and appreciate the number of lanes in the pool, the updated dressing room, and the friendly people in the reception area. I so miss the comradery of the small sauna in the dressing room. It was best for us senior citizens as it was not so hot and did not have a lot of younger guests who in spite of the rules do use their cell phones. The sauna and the cold plunge are great for most Y members but the seniors need their own space.
Great layout and appreciate there is kids club to allow parents much needed workout.
The wide variety of availability for classes and the teachers! Please give the teachers from preschool swim and preschool advanced swim at Beverly on Wednesday nights a raise! They are just fantastic and we are so thankful for their help and patience with the little ones.
Everything is very organized. The portal is great. Matt is the best!
It was casual which I like at this age. There was a good attempt at really teaching the kids some basketball skills but with the understanding they are very young and attention spans are short. It was nice to see all the kids together and having fun. Coaches were awesome, big shout out to coach AnnMarie.
The Junior Celtics program was a great intro to basketball for our 4 year old. The coaches do an excellent job of engaging and encouraging the kids while also maintaining order. Thank you!
Matt is such a good teacher for the skills and drills basketball class. He commands their attention and really knows how to teach to their level. I can't wait to sign my kids up for skills and drills II next season!
The coach was amazing and so great with all the kids. It was really well ran.
I love the variety of classes, the workout area, the other members and I especially love the sauna!
Our son gained so much confidence in just his first season of swim lessons. He went from being unwilling to put his face in the water to jumping into the pool! Very thankful for his instructor Brenna’s kind attention to every kid in the swim class, which helped them all move forward in their skills, no matter what level they were at when they first started.
Coaches are awesome!
You have great programs and classes. The instructors are great!
The swim instructors are very dedicated to the kids and getting them to progress. They make the kids comfortable and happy during their lessons. Happy to always to see the same faces as instructors still teaching each session.
Great program with amazing athletes and dedicated coaches and director. The gyms atmosphere has a family like feel!
All the coaches are so friendly and helpful. They genuinely seem to enjoy helping the kids. My daughter really enjoys her present and past coaches and they always make sure to say hi to her even when she is not in their class anymore.
Included in membership. Age-appropriate
What I like about the program and activities is that it is family oriented and there is always something for everyone.
It has all the classes that I need for exercise. The staff and instructors are all well informed and so friendly
I’m speechless,I like the way you teach the kids .Thank you so much
I appreciate how the teachers make sure all the kids, even the shy ones feel included and seen. My daughter can be especially shy in new situations and I was amazed at how fast the teachers made her feel comfortable enough to come out of her shell. She looks forward to come back to class every week now!
Teacher is amazing! Love her!!!
Staff, great swim coaches, facility, family friendly
When my daughter started with North Shore Elite there were four half year teams and one full year. They now have four half year and five full year teams. My daughter has been cheering for North Shore Elite for 10 years. I can't say enough about this program. She has grown not only as an athlete but as a person in more ways than I can say. This gym has become not just a gym but family. The coaches Jenn, Cassie and Erica are passionate, compassionate, giving of their time and ALL-IN with these girls. Each and every child on the team are encouraged to be the best they can be. Not just on the mat but in everything they do. The girls have made lasting friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to the YMCA's cheer program and a BIG shout out to the coaches that frankly do not get enough credit. I applaud you Jenn, Cassie and Erica for always going above and beyond for your girls. You are truly amazing women! Hats off for your continued dedication to these girls.
To Lynne Jay, thank you for all you do to make the season a success, and for all the time you dedicate to make this program thrive. This program would not be as successful with out your knowledge of everything cheer and compassion!
Our experience with this gym and the coaches has been incredible. They are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about the kids both as athletes and as individuals. My daughter grows in her skills every single practice, and the encouragement they provide has helped her gain so much confidence. What means the most to us is the sense of family they create. The gym has become a second home for my daughter, and she feels supported, challenged, and valued every time she walks in the door. We are so grateful to be part of this program And even more greatful to be part of the FORCE 5 family. Coach Jenn, Coach Cassie and Coach Erika are the the Best of the Best!!
The family feel is amazing, I love the connection you have here that you dont get at the bigger gyms
