Member Testimonials
my son loves going to gymnastics camp. he enjoys being part of the gym shows. the staff are very friendly there too. they have a lot of energy with the kids.
They provide a good variety of different types of camp throughout the summer all at the YMCA, which is helpful for families with multiple kids and busy work schedules.
I like how involved the coaches are in the gym & if need be on a personal level...
Has classes I enjoy
Facilties offer a wide range of activities and equipment.
Classes are awesome! Staff are great and the facilities are clean.
Both my kids have loved camp this summer! The directors have really worked hard to create an organized, engaging and fun space for so many different kiddos.
There are so many programs, classes and events that myself and my family have access to.
I also really love the classes; the instructors are knowledgeable, energetic and make working out enjoyable. Yoga and Zumba are my personal favorites!!
Another benefit is the membership team, they are very attentive to our needs and when we have questions, get back to us in a timely manner.
We love the Y!!
The Y has Something for every family member.
Great place - love the spin classes with Jen M. Clean, nice staff
I like the fact that the YMCA is inclusive of neurodivergent children and provides camp star with a 2 children to 1 counselor program which is amazing!!
Kenzie has been incredibly helpful this summer with my daughter !!
Our granddaughter loves going to Sterling Woods Junior. I don't get a good sense of what she is doing each day (room for improvement - send a newsletter out each week) but its been a great experience this summer.
Sterling Woods has a fantastic, caring staff. Our son is excited to go every day and comes home happy. We definitely recommend sending kids to camp at the Beverly YMCA.
Great gym, clean, nice staff!
My kids enjoying it
Convenience, diversity of activity options, great instructors. HOWEVER, the parking is atrocious, and I would also be very honest about that when I speak to others.
My daughter enjoys the time with the staff and her peers. The activities are well versed and age appropriate for each group! She does things she wouldn't be able to do without going to camp such as archery and high ropes. She gets to swim almost everyday and strengthen her skills ans confidence in the water. The best part... she is EXHAUSTED by the end of the day so by the time we get home, have dinner, shower and get to bed, there isn't any issue and she sleeps great! Staff are great and communicative. They know my child and I well. She has been going since chipmunk and the staff from that group still remember her!
It's well-run, clean, bright, and cheery. Offers a wide range of quality classes and ample workout spaces and machines.
My daughter did cheer camp for two weeks. The staff was great. The activities were great and she enjoyed swimming every day.
Took the Barre class for the very first time. It was so much fun.
My daughter had been going to Y camp and afterschool care for the last two years and it’s been really great.
She always says how much she likes the staff and activities.
We cannot say enough about the staff who run the summer camps at the Beverly Y. Our kids have gone to several different camps (Sterling Woods, Gymnastics, Sports, Cheer) over the years and they are excited to go each day and happy when they come home.
Terrific staff that are caring & attentive to the children's needs.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to get their kids active in the summer.
Wonderful staff, great programs and ability to adjust membership pricing as needed
My kids love the variety of activities at camp! They love playing with friends and have fun talking to counselors too.
I'm already a member based in Gloucester. I've been to Beverly 3 times now and found the classes different but good and enjoyable. The facility is clean. I like the fact that I can go to any Y in the area. I live in Gloucester but am staying in Peabody for 2 1/2 weeks, so this is convenient.
2nd review not sure if the first one was submitted.. Director of the camp and the counselors are amazing and really helped Victoria settle in. It is well organized
Andrew is in the chipmunk program and can't get enough.
Every counselor has been amazing going above and beyond. The camp is very organized with the checking in and out process. Victoria enjoys going into the woods and playing card games.
My kids LOVE their camp weeks at the Y. They are engaged, have tons of fun and most importantly tired when they leave! All of the counselors are warm and friendly. I also love that the same counselors come back every year keeping familiarity and comfortable level for my kids - especially my oldest.
Jimmy and his team were exceptionally well organized. They were like a machine. The inclusion specialists guaranteed my daughter was able to have a great experience and highly skilled counselors ensured my hesitant seven year old felt comfortable and had a blast. Through rain and extreme heat, the entire crew kept a positive attitude. I was very impressed.
