Awesome place to go to exercise
The organization took my feedback about there being too many children in each swim class abs added additional staff/re-shuffled the groups to make them more equitable. Much appreciated.
Fun and engaging for toddlers
Clean environment, friendly and patient
The Y has made a huge difference in my daughter’s swimming skills. I’m so grateful I can be more confident about my daughter in the pool this summer! Joe is the best :)
My daughter loves gymnastics. The coaches are all great- knowledgeable, fun, and supportive. The gymnastics center at the Sterling YMCA has everything she needs and accommodates many gymnasts working at different levels.
Coaches are excellent.
Safety has a high priority.
Basketball, basketball skills, Esports, vacation camps and drills and floor hockey. We are enjoying Coach Jeff and Coach Matt. Thanks for a great program!
Instructor Maddy Saunders is amazing!
I love that the class wasn't canceled for low numbers. It gave my son individualized attention and also gave the boys more options on drills to work on or that they felt needed improvement.
lots of options and times.
works well for my schedule.
friendly staff :-)
The Y could improve their efforts toward sustainability. Reduce single use plastics-encourage refilling water bottles instead of single use water bottles. No more balloons…

Very clean . Very friendly . Instuctors are wonderful. Love the family atmosphere . Non judgmental participants .
The Greater Beverly YMCA is a wonderful organization! They offer free classes to members and serve the community. I play pickleball, lift weights, and do spinning classes. Can't recommend them enough!
Great place! Wonderful people!
Love the kids club, and numbers classes throughout the day
I love the facility, the classes and the kindness and professionalism of the staff!
Since the Sterling center has been under new management I have seen so many family friendly events and informational set-ups happening
Staff have been much more visible and friendly.
Please keep up the good work! I have been a member there for a very long time and I’m so happy the Y is really feeling like a place I want to be.
The Y is more than a gym, or a pool, or a daycare. It is a community. You are welcomed each time you enter, and welcomed back when you have been away. It is a place where all families are welcomed, no matter their socio-economic status. I was discussing the cost of the Y recently with a friend, and I mentioned that it was much more costly than some area gyms and workout locations. She reminded me of something very important when she said that she feels that part of her monthly payment is to support those who might not otherwise be able to take advantage of the facilities and programs. It is her way to secure this opportunity for future generations. And she is right!

Very nice complex! Reasonable rates.
Love the facility
The staff are friendly and the building is clean. As a senior in this Covid climate, I have found a time of day when there are only 5 -10 others in a huge room with me and everyone is respectful of each other, so I feel safe. Thank you.
The staff is very knowledgeable at their job. The facility is very clean and up to date. Never had a bad experience.
Many programs which help healthy activity as well as sharing friendly exchanges with others.
Everything! Ease of sign up, the facility is fantastic, coaches have always been great & my son always has a good experience
Joe is amazing with the kids! He recognizes when the kids need assistance or when they are ready to be challenged. Our son has fully gone from bubble to noodle to nothing all with the help of Joe’s patience and persistence all while making the lesson so much fun for the kids!!!
