Member Testimonials
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
Amazing teachers and support staff.
Coaches are AMAZING!
The communication and organization of sharing information is very clear and is much appreciated!
The coaches and staff are wonderful and truly
Care about the girls. I feel my child is seen and heard and understood.
We truly love the staff and teachers. They are so kind, caring, and attentive, and it really shows in the way they interact with the children. We especially appreciate that our daughter gets to participate in activities like yoga and gymnastics on certain days, and that there is a thoughtful curriculum even in the infant room. The program feels very professional while still being welcoming and understanding, especially when it comes to pick-up and drop-off times. Communication throughout the day is excellent, and we really appreciate the updates through the Kaymbu app. It gives us a lot of peace of mind. Overall, we feel very comfortable and grateful knowing both of our daughters are in such caring hands.
My son loves his teachers, Gina, the gross motor room and gymnastics.
A great community environment, with well-kept amenities, programs to meet many needs, and friendly staff.
I love knowing that our kids are being cared for and having fun with friends while we're still at work!

AMAZING PLACE THE BEST STAFF ❤️❤️
The customer service at the Y is outstanding. Staff are consistently responsive, supportive, and proactive. When my mother recently broke her arm, the team handled her situation with exceptional care, temporarily adjusting her membership and quickly reactivating her account upon her return, while also providing thoughtful suggestions for classes that suited her needs.
Additionally, my 14-year-old daughter and her friend regularly use the gym. On multiple occasions, staff have demonstrated excellent awareness and judgment when older men behaved inappropriately. They intervened promptly, addressed the situations, and ensured the girls were safe. My daughter and her friend were initially unaware of the risk, but the staff’s observant and proactive approach allowed them to focus on their workouts without concern. It is incredibly reassuring to know that the Y provides an environment where young members can exercise safely and confidently.
Overall, the Y staff exemplify professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine commitment to member safety and well-being.
Good place to go. Sees lot of people!
Great hours and a huge variety of activities/fitness for the whole family!
I love the Beverly Y! I returned there this past week, after nine years. (I had used the Beverly branch because of Physical Therapy for knee replacement. Off and on, I have attended the Y in Gloucester, closer to where I live in Rockport. But I wanted to take the class, Strength for Older Adults, and that was only available at the moment in Beverly. When I met Lee, the instructor, she was wonderful, enthusiastic and genuine. I felt everyone who worked there was welcoming and helpful. But the vibe, working out with others (some older, some not) in the middle of the day was great. I was able to easily get on the machines and a recumbent bike with a nice view and sunshine. I can only say good things about the Beverly Y. Thanks so much for making me feel that I can come back and exercise again.
I love all the Y has to offer!
It’s a very friendly place to be!!
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.
