I enjoy the classes and pickleball
Aqua fitness classes and lap swimming are my favs. But like chair yoga too
I have to be honest, didn’t have much time to use upstairs. Hopefully this year will. Equipments are brand new modern.Front desk and all the stuff are very nice and helpful
Leanne Jensen is an amazing personal trainer. Always thinking of new things to keep things fresh and me motivated.
The instructors I’ve had are all very good & inspirational.
The only “criticism” I have regarding the Y is that the lady on the check in desk Wednesday morning is not very friendly. I don’t know her name but she has 4 children. Other than that I can’t describe her in a meaningful way.
I absolutely love the Torigian YMCA . The instructors, the staff are so caring and skilled in
what they do. The facility is so clean. Exercise is now a pleasure to look forward to.
I like you have something for every age. Very clean as well. I’d love to see staff at weight area know more information on classes etc they seem clueless about what the y offers and where.
Variety of activities availability and knowledge of employees
Friendly staff working equipment offers a variety of classes
The gym is always clean and there is always open equipment to use
I find the chai yoga, chair pilates and senior fitness classes have helped me a lot as I recover from illnesses and PT is over. They also provide a good social connection.
There’s always a ton to offer for a wide variety of ages
Good classes for seniors
overall is really nice. family-friendly. If the swim team could be improved dramatically, that would be great. We currently have to go to reading ymca to join the junior swim team because they have better training.
I really like pickleball.and want to have more hours to play.
I enjoy the classes offered at the Y. M. C. A.
They help keep me active and moving:)
As a brand-new member, I was very impressed with Bill Petryszyn's tour and membership introduction.
I have taken a membership and am enjoying the free two-week intro!
The TORIGIAN YMCA is a very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained facility.
I look forward to improving my health while enjoying retirement.
Thank you to all at the TORIGIAN facility and keep up the good work!

Summer Camp, swimming lessons
Classes are the best for seniors. The reason is the great professional instructors. I have never felt better.
I attend senior fitness classes. The instructors are very good and are non-judgmental and helpful. The classes are too full or room too small. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming nonetheless. The chair yoga classes are fun and relaxing. I call the Y my happy place!
The swimming classes are great with plenty of choice in terms of timing
The instructors are amazing!
The sauna and pool are my favorites.
Walking track
Fitness classes
The pool
Outstanding, friendly staff.
Clean, great place to be.
Great pool but not enough lap swim times/lanes. Often lanes are full during early and mid morning times.
I like all the machines in place the variety
The teachers especially Mary Lareau and Donna Dechellis are FANTASTIC.. But EVERYONE complains about how COLD the pool water is and they state the other Y's pool water is much warmer and they don't come to Peabody as often because of that. Thank You.
Quality of instruction and a variety of classes.

Group exercise classes are great!!
