The space in the atmosphere
They involve all the kids at all ability levels. They change out the games frequently so it keeps the kids interested. The instructors have a lot of patience and enthusiasm.
Thank you
Our family has found the YMCA to be a wonderful resource for sports and activities for both our boys. Both have played in the Kiwanis basketball league and the summer basketball program at McPherson. It is well organized with great coaches.
It has a lot to offer
Overall I enjoy my workouts at the Y. The variety of classes are great. The staff is friendly. My only suggestion is that the pool is cleaned on a consistent basis .
Clean, vibrant space
Great classes
Super clean.. staff very nice
Greatest facility in north shore area.
The Beverly Y is a beautiful facility and everyone was welcoming and kind. I love the Adult Women's Locker Room- so roomy and well designed. The flooring is wonderful- easy on the feet and not slippery. The instructor for Deep Water (Scott) was engaging and enthusiastic.
Sterling Y is beautifully clean. The family changing room for pool use is such a great idea. The kids all enjoy the sports programs. Every one is so friendly!

We love Mr. Thomas. He's kind, patient, and allows the child to take their time getting comfortable but also encourages them to be brave and try things.
Lauren is also someone who is helpful, sweet, and seems to wear many hats. And she's always smiling and very pleasant.
Coaches do a great job encouraging the girls and instilling confidence.
The Y is the best gym I've ever been to. While yes, I've only gone to a few other gyms, I can tell that the Y is a step ahead of them. The atmosphere is comfortable and inclusive, and I love the setup.
The family atmosphere and commitment to the athletes
The facilities at the Sterling Y are beautiful - clean, extensive, parking is easy, lottos classes.
Great staff! Fantastic programs. And lots of fun members...
They’re pretty chill
I love the swim classes and instructors. I would just like to see a little more time spent having the kids swim without a noodle or bubble. Getting the more comfortable and stronger.
Caleb has been amazing, encouraging, patient with my daughter. She has come so far with her endurance and skills in the different strokes.
Kids have fun
My daughter has really enoyed the aquatics instruciton at the Beverly Y. Furthermore, she has actually progressed as a swimmer, which unfortanately didn't occur at another Y where we found the swim instructors truley apathetic. Thank you for renewing our belief in the quality of the swim programs at the y.
Great classes, great staff!
Lila was awesome with our son, Cam. Even though he was much (MUCH) younger than the rest of the class and was struggling, Lily put in the extra effort to help him, even calling in another coach to help with his technique. We really appreciate Lily's commitment to our son's progress and her ability to keep him enthused in a tough situation.

The staff positively engage with the children and keep them involved in activities throughout the class time. The staff display a lot of positive energy and enthusiasm for each childs development and success in the class. There is some distraction with older and younger siblings being allowed to play in the space during class time which makes it difficult for the staff to support all of the participants.
