Both Stirling Center and Soul Center are such beautiful facilities. Last visit, I swam laps and had a lane all to myself. I proceeded to cold plunge and sauna. It was glorious.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great staff, energy, equipment, it's always a pleasure to work out at the Y. I've visited most of the MA Y sites, and while they're all fine, I believe that Sterling is the best Y in the state.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I highly recommend the Y because it has become a very positive part of our lives. I enjoy going every day, and the facilities, staff, instructors, and overall sense of community are excellent. Just as important, the Y has been wonderful for my wife Jane. Between her personal training and the upcoming Enhance Fitness program, they are helping her become stronger, more active, and more confident. It feels like a place that genuinely cares about helping people improve their quality of life, and that means a lot to us.

I love the Fit for Life class with Lee and Vange. Well paced work out for older adults and they make it fun. In addition to the workout they make everyone feel welcome.
