Member Testimonials
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.
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

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.

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

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!

LOVE the Sterling YMCA facilities, the staff and the volunteers. My daughter has grown so much playing with the Kiwani's. I love watching the growth in skills and the amazing teamwork that forms throughout the season.
