Excellent classes and instructors. Lee Benton is wonderful!
Kids had fun. Offering classes as sessions instead of ongoing has been great!
The Beverly YMCA played a pivotal role in my high school journey as an athlete. Returning to the facility recently, I am happy to find that it has not only maintained its excellence but has also continued to improve, making it one of the best on the North Shore.
Nice facility
Excellent pool, helpful staff, locker room well maintained and clean.
Great classes
Great for meeting others in my community.
Verity of programs.
Just hard to make a left out of the driveway.
The skateboarding clinic has been excellent.
The Cheer program has become part of our family. The coaches support and love the kids and want them to be the best they can be. I can't recommend this program enough.
It is just an overall good program. Mariah has awesome structure and communication. The coaches are great.
Very engaging, keeping the kids feel included and active participants
Sense of community, a neutral place where you can meet and engage with others with similar interests, choosing to be our happiest selves.
We have loved everything about this cheer team the girls are so sweet and make friends easy. The coaches are amazing we highly recommend this gym to our friends and family.
I love the discipline it teaches my girls and the family feel
The best endorsement for your skateboarding program comes from my son, JJ. He says that Matt is a great instructor and, in the time he has been taking the course, his skills have improved dramatically. Tricks that he would have had difficulty trying on his own, seem within his abilities under Matt’s guidance. Speaking for myself, I have watched Matt stand by my son and spot him as he attempts a ramp. Without Matt there, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to “drop in.” In an era in which kids spend more time staring at screens than they do playing sports, we are lucky that the Y provides athletic programs- like skateboarding- to get our children up and moving.
They span all ages
My son has always loved to skateboard. So when we heard the Y was offering a skateboard clinic, we signed him up immediately. He has thoroughly enjoyed going to skateboard Clinic every week. His skateboarding skills have improved so much. Instructor Matt is a wonderful teacher. He teaches kids at all different levels helping them master skateboarding. We are looking forward more skateboarding programs.We hope the Y will continue to offer more skateboarding programs.
Pre School Soccer was awesome for our four year old granddaughter. The coaches were superb and know exactly how to work with that age group. Our older granddaughter tried the K town soccer several years ago and it was a disaster. wish we had known about the Y program then.
Laura and Matt are amazing.
Very grateful.

McKayla LOVES going to gymnastics! Loving that she gets a second day attending the preschool program. Would like if there was some information relayed about open gyms. Reason for 9 and not the 10 is I am NOT happy that we had to wait to sign up for her new session because she has the membership herself vs. a family membership. I can totally see giving members first option and non-members having another date but find it completely unfair to have to wait to register due to type of membership. A membership should constitute as a membership regardless of the type.
we like the format of this fall session
My daughter is learning a lot of skills but also truly having fun doing it. She is always excited for swim class!
Maria has been so great! It’s easy to see that she loves connecting with the kiddos and they love her! We’ve seen so much progress in our daughter’s confidence in the water in just a few months.

I love the water La Blast class with Scott. The pool is wonderful and the sauna is relaxing. The women’s locker room is always clean. Those working at the desk are friendly and kind. I enjoy my time at the Y Sterling Center.
