Member Testimonials

The people are friendly and the facility is well maintained. Although, more frequent cleaning would be appreciated, especially in the courts.

Small class sizes, great coaching staff

Gymnastics program is high quality, with excellent facilities, equipment, and top notch coaches. They truly care about the students.

Love the coaches on the Pheonix team

Moved from Salem, MA to Groveland, MA. Originally was going to the Haverhill, MA location but decided to give Plaistow a shot. Very impressed with the entire facility and the overall vibe. Not just the size of it, but it is a place where there is a vibe of activity. Large lifting floor, plenty of weights and machines (wish there was more than one bench press, but that’s just me nitpicking). Large gymnastics training facility, basketball court and so on. When you’re at this location you get the vibe that you are in a training facility. I even find that the people who attend the gym are very kind but also very focused. Everybody shows up to work hard and have fun.

We recently joined the YMCA in Plaistow and found the initial set up so easy due to the associates who assisted us through the first steps. We then was given a tour and a meeting with the trainer, Wendy who was so helpful and knowledgable. We are now enjoying using the facility very much and lucky to have such a good gym in our community.

Very friendly staff plenty of options to choose from to stay healthy very clean nice atmosphere just a nice place

Coach Darren and the rest of the coaches did a wonderful job differentiating between the age groups. We are so appreciative of them giving them up their Saturdays for our kids. It was nice to see them actually enjoying themselves while coaching, as well.

Coach Darren has a lot of patience and takes his time to explain the sport to all the kids.

Alyson loves Miss Taryn and Miss Eve. They both communicate well with me and I feel better knowing my child is in their care.

The staff are very friendly and care deeply about the kiddos.

I love the teachers, the director, and all of the staff. Everyone is very friendly, and they are warm and nurturing to the kids. The new leadership has changed the attitude of the staff for the better. Teachers are engaged and are doing more curriculum with the kids now. My child is happy at school and loves his teachers which makes it so much easier for me to go to work without stressing about how his day is going!

The staff is amazing, and my boys have so much fun here. They started in October 2023, and they have come so far in just a few short months. They always have fun things to do, and they have learned so much. And I love that they get to go outside daily if it's nice out. My shy 3-year-old has really come out of his shell since starting here and has made so many friends. We love sending our boys here and it's a relief knowing they are in such great hands!

Beautiful facility at affordable price. I like not having to commit to a number of months or year at a time

My son is having so much fun with the Jr Celtics. It has been a great program so far!

My son is 12 years old and on the autism spectrum , this was his first time playing basketball and as a parent I was very nervous . His team (Cowens) along with the other teams , the coaches and the referees for the league have been very inclusive and made it a wonderful experience for him, it has been wonderful watching him participate and feel proud of himself and have other people cheer him on.
