My husband and I have been members for many years; I participate in group exercise classes (Zumba, Pilates and Fit for Life) and my husband works out at the wellness center/fitness floor approximately 4 times a week. Staff is great and so are the exercise programs. THANKS

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I love the community feeling that welcomes you when you come into the building. I’m sometimes in a rush when I enter (always) yet the person at the front desk is wonderfully relentless at making sure to give a personal greeting to me and everyone else that walks in. It makes me stop and pause and realize how lucky we are to be in such a giving community. I thought I was joining to get a great workout in, but when I’m in that main fitness area, what I really love, the most is seeing all different types of people. Young and old, various ability levels, those working hard at fitness and those working hard at keeping the place, clean and organized and safe. I feel welcome. More importantly, though I feel that other people feel welcome to be there - no matter where they come from or what their stage in life is or what abilities they do or don’t have - and that fills my cup. What a great decision I made; my only regret is not making it sooner. I look forward to bringing my children here when they have time to join me.

The Beverly Y is great. Love all of the programming and the sauna is a major plus! I just moved to the area and had no idea the Y could be so amazing! Someone had a big vision and courage to build such a great facility, that is accessible to many, and now we get to enjoy it!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The Y has a variety of classes for all levels throughout the day as well as the fact that other Y's in the area may offer different classes from the one closest to you. It's also a great sense of community.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great place and people. Love the ymca!

Only recommendation is gym gets crowded with high school kids Monday-Thursdays who need to be moved along off of equipment . They tend to camp out on popular machines on their phones for longer than appropriate.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

So far, we love the facilities and the staff have been really friendly and helpful. We've used the excercise equipment including treadmill, stair master and weight machines - all are in good order and mostly have been available to use so waiting is limited. We've also used the pool and the water temp is perfect. Also, love the sauna. Locker room (women's) is clean and not too crowded at the times we've been there. (So far, anyway. We've been there only 3 times so far since we just joined.) Special shout out to Judy who gave us (myself and my daughter Charlotte) a fitness area orientation this morning, which was excellent!!
