Member Testimonials

While the pool in Beverly is closed, I've been coming to the Gloucester Y a couple of days a week and have enjoyed the experience. The facility is beautiful and well maintained. The staff and other members are very friendly and welcoming.

The YMCA has a very clean locker room and the pool is clean and warm. The steam room is also excellent

Staff, facilities and programs.

I love the Y … water exercise helps me a lot
My concern is the maintaining and cleaning of the building
Need to do a better job
I use family showers … faucets don’t work … seats falling off the walls
Showers are scummy
Please to a better job keeping this building maintained

My wife and I use the weight room. The facility is first class, it has everything I can imagine using plus a bunch. I don't use a trainer, but those I see appear to be very professional with their clients and in general the staff is very friendly. I am also impressed with how comprehensive the facility is to serve a variety of needs within the community. A special place. We love it.

Great community

I met with Jeanne and she was very welcoming. She gave me a tour of the facility and answered all of my questions. I really enjoyed chatting with her while she got me enrolled. After leaving, I felt like I had all the tools that I needed to get started on the path of a healthier me! Jeanne made me very comfortable and made joining a little less overwhelming. After being hospitalized the week prior, my whole routine changed so having Jeanne help me get through the process of joining was a blessing. I am telling everyone how wonderful the Y is and I am encouraging them to join!

Great classes and instructors
Good vibes
Well ventilated

I am using the Gloucester Y pool now and will probably return to the Beverly Y pool after renovations, depending on where I can access a lane most easily. Both are very nice.

Thanks

It has a lot to offer. The location is very convenient. The place is always clean. The people are nice.

I love that it is a new facility and everything is clean. I also noticed that some of the equipment in the cardio room was updated which is really nice. I tend to use the AMT Precor machines, so I was a little sad to see that there were fewer of those now and the touch screen doesn't always respond well on them, but overall, it was nice to see the updates.

I would love to see a dedicated time slot for a pool lane for teenage YMCA members who are also on the local high school swim team. Several of them would like to practice in the off season but don't necessarily want to do club swimming. They are good at sharing lanes with each other and they are all really good kids!
