Member Testimonials

What's not to love?! It's a fantastic facility that offers SO MUCH! The staff are wonderful. The facility is so clean and well taken care of all the time. They do so much with / for the community as well. Keep up the GREAT work!

Wide range of Yoga and exercise classes, personal instruction and physical therapy on-site.

Love the staff, atmosphere, rhe program s offered, people I meet.

Camp STAR! Gives my child the opportunity to explore so many different activities that she might not be able to otherwise.

Paul's kickboxing crew is expanding because of how great he is. I honestly get upset when I'm not able to get to his classes because of other events getting in the way (personal or swim meets). We have a diverse group of regulars who have formed our own little Y family and he is at the heart of it all. 100% promoting the Y mission.

Let's also be honest for those who are reading this and know me.... I'm not the easiest person and he deals with all of my nonsense and gives it right back. He's deserves gold medal for that alone :)

I've shared before in our leadership meetings how appreciative I am not only as an employee but also as a mom who watching her child grow because of the Y's influence. Last week, Jonathan had his first experience as CIT.

Day 1: J: I don't know how you do this all day. These kids just don't listen."
Day 2: J: "Today was a little bit better, but they still don't listen."
Day3: J: "Can I wear your staff shirt? They (campers) need to know I'm a counselor. A: Nope, your not on payroll, but your can wear Project Y shirt. End of the day- "Today was a good day."
Day4: J: Long pool story but basically he was wanted by the campers to play.
Day 5: J: "Guess what? I got dunked by 2 campers of the week" A: "What's that tell you?" J: "The kids like me." A: Do you think you'll apply next summer to be an actual counselor? J: Oh, Absolutely."

Week 2 is in full effect with a new group of kids and he was given a tie dyed "staff" shirt by another counselor. The highlight of the week (so far).

To see him so proud to be "working" and having younger children looking up and responding to him, is a proud mom moment. Thank you to Jimmy, Kenzie and the rest of the camp staff for giving him this opportunity to grow and me the "proud mom" moment.

It’s modern, comfortable, well appointed and has a ton of programs to choose from

Great classes and fitness facilities. Outstanding yoga teachers

Enjoy the pickle ball. Sorry its hours are shortened in the summer.

Economical, friendly, clean

I have been recommending the Y because I won't do gyms and I can find classes that I am emotionally comfortable in.

Liked the Zumba class I attended.

Great people in all roles. Valian has been such a help to me! Classes are great.

Every single person on staff that my son has worked with this past year has been dedicated and engaging. He loves the days he has swim class and feels so at ease when he’s there.

Nice building with great favilties

This is the best place to meet friends and workout

I like how many classes are offered, the variety, and how many machines are offered. I do wish there were more classes after 5pm, as i work full time 9-5pm and cant attend classes unless they are between 6pm-9pm. I also wish there were more weekend classes. I love that I can visit different YMCAs when I travel too.

I especially love the HIIT and balance board classes with William.

Great staff, facilities and fitness classes.

The inclusive part of camp star.

Bueno hasta ahora he tenido una buena experiencia con mis niños, aunque tienen un poco de tueoen el programa, pero hasta ahora me siento bien ❤️🥰🙏

I love the extra activities they do during the school year. Swim, gymnastics, yoga, sports and STEM were all big talking points after school. I also love all the art projects Alden has taken home this year!

Excellent for the whole family

We love the variety of everything offered. My daughter is 4 and she’s been with the early learning center at Sterling since she was 6 months old. Every year has been such a wonderful experience for her. Ms. Elizabeth & Ms. Mari are her teachers this year and it’s just been such a delight for not only my daughter but myself. The comfort of knowing my daughter is in such good hands during the day is so important. Thank you so much for everything

There are a lot of different activities the kids can do throughout the day. There seems to be enough staff to cover the number of kids well, and our camper comes home worn out but happy by the end of the day. It's a great alternative to sitting around in the house all summer! This has been a life-saver! :)

Staff is great - verry accommodating and communicative

we love the gymnastics camp. My child loves having time in the gym, plus swimming and other camp activities. As a parent, its nice that she is indoors out of the sun and rain. We don't have to worry as much about sunscreen, bug spray or raincoats .

Excellent caring staff, clean pool and facility.

The facility is very clean and well maintained. The staff is lovely. And so many different programs to choose from. It’s great.

Clean, friendly staff and lots of choices for group exercise.
Really look forward to Ashley / Zumba on Wednesday’s when ever my schedule allows.

I’ve been a member of the Y for many years, and I truly love my gym—it’s my happy place. The equipment keeps getting better, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the pool area is the best on the North Shore.

The one thing I’d really like to see improve is cleanliness. Unfortunately, this has been an ongoing issue for years. The men’s locker room is often dirty, and many of the machines could be cleaned more regularly.

I love this Y and want to see it continue to improve. A cleaner facility would make a huge difference for all of its members.
