The amount of activities and programs is impressive, something for everyone.
I like the pool and the classes.. The instructors are great. Locker room bad design small.. The weight room is small I go to anther gym for than. Just to crowded and small to work out. I end up skipping lot of things because can t get use the machines I like. . All so The new elliptical machines I not big on.. I used old old ones lot. the new ones first time used it hurt my knee, SO now I just swim and take spin class. Pool been great! The employees are great.
Love the happy vibe at the Peabody Y! Class instructors are top-notch and I appreciate the vast assortment of different offerings for all abilities.
My one suggestion for the yoga classes: Please encourage the instructors to use the portable lights that are available to plug in around the room. They add a feeling of tranquility and peace to a yoga class (though I realize this is more of a suggestion for night/winter classes vs. the sunny morning summer classes when they wouldn't be effective).
I'd also love to see a day-long yoga retreat planned for a Saturday. I was registered for one at the Torigian about a year ago, but it was canceled. It was to feature 4-5 hours of yoga plus nutrition and wellness tips. I'd love to see that on the calendar for this fall or winter, and I'm sure others would too.
Thanks for all you do for the community!
Love this Y
We appreciate the welcoming of the greeters upon entering, the helpfulness of the staff, and the consideration shown for those with special needs.
Great Instructors.
100 MILE SWIM CHALLENGE. FEB INDOOR TRIATHLON (even though I was hurt and couldn't compete). POOL HOURS AND CONDITIONS. EVERYONE IS VERY FRIENDLY.
I recommend Torigian Y regularly to friends and folks I meet who are looking for a place to exercise or swim. Lots of great programs and kchildcare and programs for kids too.
And it’s a lot less expensive than private gyms.
Not only is it a clean, well maintained facility, I am also pleased with the staff that greets you when you walk in the door and upstairs on the way to your class.(primarily the woman who works Saturday morning at the front desk and Bob and Jacob upstairs) Your instructors are wonderful and all bring such a different approach to classes. They are an important part of my week and I have total FOMO if I have to miss a class. I love this place!
there are many programs for all ages. The facilities are clean and like new. Atmosphere is always positive.
Lots of varied programs are available
I’m a Pickleball player, like the hours of Open Play
Staff is fabulous. Like the app for classes. Love pickleball and think it's organized well.
Swimming pool and swim classes
Like registering ahead so don’t get there and no room. I was on waitlist and got email I was added to class, off waitlist. Like that notification.
More chair Pilates classes please.
So glad you made more time for the senior yoga classes by adding more. Hopefully, maybe you can add another senior fitness class on Tuesday.
Thank you.
Great yoga classes! Best Saturday morning class with Marcy! Sheryl is wonderful!Carmen’shuman Pilates is the best!
I prefer the machines in Peabody (real weights) as compared to the "air' weight machines in Lynn. Also, Peabody needs a couple of Smith machines, and Lynn could use another one because it's always being used. Overall, Peabody is great facility!
The classes are geared to my pysical ability. My classmates are very helpful and engaging. the instructors are very good.
