Member Testimonials
Everything
I am a veteran of World War 2 and am trying to get my strength back so I can go
for walks by myself and not be concerned if I fall down. My family is taking turns
helping me work out at the Y.
I expect to be able to be able to walk alone by the end of the summer.

Aqua program is the best! Levels for everyone….keep adding challenging classes. Attendance at these classes shows how much they are valued.
Sidney loved her Cheer Camp. They staff was so attentive and wonderful to her, and all the kids. She was so excited to go in the morning. Thank you so much for giving Sidney such an enjoyable experience!!
It's just such a beautifully happy place to be. From the youngest to the oldest, they are all happily at the YMCA. Learning, working, playing, swimming, dancing, acting, singing, supporting, encouraging, caring, and even loving happens at this beautiful building every single day! What's not to recommend? It's just the nicest place to get healthy!

Classes
Great pool. Many workout stations.
I love the classes and instructors. I would like to see another noon class on Wednesdays
beautiful facility, easy parking, lots of options for all ages
I love my pool classes! Aqua Zumba with Calandra got me exercising again after a long period of no exrcise. She is a fabulous instructor! Passionate, funny, kind - I cannot say enough good about her. Also my SWEAT class with Katie is equally thrilling to me. Another superb instructor! Knowledgeable, funny, inspiring. Between these two classes I have gotten my blood pressure down (literally) and gotten a boost to my efforts at weight loss. Thank you for hosting these classes!
I’ve had the pleasure to be welcome as a stranger. Thanks to Joe Dapper he showed hospitality which is very important to me. He welcomed me as if he knew me for years, which he didn’t. His kindness and those of others, ie Suzan ((I believe was her name). Showed me the machines, cardio etc. our conversation went smoothly. She was truly present which I find important. She didn’t act like I was interrupting or taking up her time.
Wonderful welcoming staff.
Very clean place especially the macho, locker room and showers.
Great facility for the area.
Great new facility with good classes and equipment. Pool, locker rooms, splash park and work out areas are all kept clean & neat. Ready for everyone to use.
Friendly, bright clean great hours good and knowledgeable staff. I like your pool and weights
Lots of activities for every age group.
The facility is very clean, there's plenty of equipment so virtually no waiting to complete your workout, and the staff is friendly and helpful
I love all the aqua fitness classes. The instructors are great. Everyone at the Y is cheerful and friendly. It’s a very welcoming place.
My only complaint is the mobile website but I understand it will be updated.
The Y has so much to offer for all age groups;
Staff are friendly & helpful.
Facility is beautiful and kept so clean; parking so readily available is a huge plus.
Our cape Ann ymca is the finest facility on the north shore . It has a great selection of classes and activities for the whole family . The staff is attentive and hardworking .
The staff is amazing, the facility is new and the breakfast burritos at the Cove Cafe are fabulous!
Also there are charging stations for EVs, a bank, and a big parking lot, and up the hill in Gloucester Crossing there are so many essential stores for my errands.
And that Masters Swim Program, with a schedule at ynsmasters.net, it's so constructive for improving swim technique since I am over 18, and my fellow
members of that program are excellent friends for workouts.
Thank you Y of the North Shore!
Great location! My son had a great time. He loved swimming in the outdoor pool, climbing the rock wall and doing crafts.
