What do you like about our program and activities?

My almost 2 year old son has so much fun he doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day! All of the staff knows his name and says hi to my son and I when we are in the halls. He is thriving, both socially and developmentally. He never comes home with a rash and he’s always clean after a day of play, which is a testament to how well he is looked after throughout the day.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Staff is friendly and helpful. Equipment is clean and it’s a comfortable environment for a middle aged woman like myself.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I’ve belonged to many gyms/fitness facilities and I can say that the LvO Y truly has a great balance of friendly, talented staff, onsite childcare/daycare, fantastic facilities (from swimming to weightlifting to squash to basketball and tons of aerobics and yoga classes to try) to keep most anyone busy and fit. There is also ample —free—parking. And the member ‘vibe’ is friendly and welcoming. People smile here.

It all adds up to an overall level of satisfaction and enjoyment that keeps me (and quite a few of the members, it seems) coming back for more. It’s also great knowing that, as a not-for-profit (global) organization, the Y “gives back” to the community in ways that most people aren’t aware (check out their website). If you’re not a Y member, and/or you’ve never been, definitely check them out.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Mr. W at the Glover afterschool program is engaging, fun, and really cares about the kids. He brings an energy to all of it that is really special. The Y is lucky to have him.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Fantastic facility. Only down fall is signups for programs full up so fast so you just need to stay on top of things. But this is true for most Y’s.

What do you like about our program and activities?

The director and assistant director are super helpful and know all of the kids so well. Our daughter has gone through the toddler, preschool, and TK rooms and has had wonderful, nurturing teachers. We love that she gets to do swim and other sports.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

It's a great facility overall. Cost of membership is reasonable. I especially like the the large open work-out rooms on the 2nd floor, equipped with some weights, platforms, and other work-out gear. It's nice to have a non-crowded space for doing exercises.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Classes are great. Fitness floor equipment is terrific. Staff are enthusiastic and helpful. Pool is fantastic.

But the reason I keep my membership at the Y is the infared sauna. It has made a noticeable difference in my inflammation. I add a 20 minute sauna session to every workout that I do.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

We love this YMCA and come all the way from Georgetown to get here (~30 min drive).

We have done open bounce house, open gymnastics, kids club, pool, indoor play group, kids yoga, basketball, small pool and water slide. I have had an amazing experience in every area of this YMCA. Thank you to the staff for being so kind, helpful, non-judgmental (since I have 2 kids this is extra extra extra important to me). Sadly, we have not had this same experience in Beverly. I provided feedback and never heard back.

Thank you thank you thank you!

It's just a great, welcoming place. I particularly enjoy swimming laps in the gorgeous pool, and there a lot of exercise classes, good programs for kids, teens, adults, seniors. I feel very lucky to have the Y in my life!

It's the best YMCA in every aspect, machines, riding, walking, swimming, free weights and lot's of space.
One flaw, a low temp Sauna replaced a good Steam Room.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

A membership is more than a gym. Although I just use the fitness facilities now, my kids did tons of activities through the Y when they were little and I want to keep that programming available for other families. I know my membership supports all of that.
