AMAZING PLACE THE BEST STAFF ❤️❤️

The customer service at the Y is outstanding. Staff are consistently responsive, supportive, and proactive. When my mother recently broke her arm, the team handled her situation with exceptional care, temporarily adjusting her membership and quickly reactivating her account upon her return, while also providing thoughtful suggestions for classes that suited her needs.

Additionally, my 14-year-old daughter and her friend regularly use the gym. On multiple occasions, staff have demonstrated excellent awareness and judgment when older men behaved inappropriately. They intervened promptly, addressed the situations, and ensured the girls were safe. My daughter and her friend were initially unaware of the risk, but the staff’s observant and proactive approach allowed them to focus on their workouts without concern. It is incredibly reassuring to know that the Y provides an environment where young members can exercise safely and confidently.

Overall, the Y staff exemplify professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine commitment to member safety and well-being.

Good place to go. Sees lot of people!

Great hours and a huge variety of activities/fitness for the whole family!

I love the Beverly Y! I returned there this past week, after nine years. (I had used the Beverly branch because of Physical Therapy for knee replacement. Off and on, I have attended the Y in Gloucester, closer to where I live in Rockport. But I wanted to take the class, Strength for Older Adults, and that was only available at the moment in Beverly. When I met Lee, the instructor, she was wonderful, enthusiastic and genuine. I felt everyone who worked there was welcoming and helpful. But the vibe, working out with others (some older, some not) in the middle of the day was great. I was able to easily get on the machines and a recumbent bike with a nice view and sunshine. I can only say good things about the Beverly Y. Thanks so much for making me feel that I can come back and exercise again.

I love all the Y has to offer!
It’s a very friendly place to be!!

Our community is amazing. It is like old home days every time you’re in the facility. The friendliness of members and staff is contagious!

It’s the best place to keep yourself FIT and HEALTHY.

Paul Gentile and Adam Travinski are amazing coaches. My son was nervous to play and they made him feel comfortable and helped bring up his confidence when it was low. They encouraged him, and he had a great season overall. I also appreciate Matt the director.

Sauna and cold-plunge are amazing!

Caroline’s strength training classes are amazing!!!!

Comes with the membership

I enjoy the variety of classes and workout equipment. I have joined a restorative yoga class with a former coworker.

Matt is the absolute best. My kids love interacting with him. He is always so positive and happy and is just a great addition to the YMCA.

My son absolutely loves going to daycare. The activities are so fun for kids and the teachers and staff are amazing

The teachers, staff and curriculum are great and our children genuinely enjoy attending. We note, however, that the three day schedule students miss out on several enrichments that make the Y daycare desirable (such as swimming and sports). Holidays and teacher development days also often land on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, causing the schedule to shorten to two-day weeks on many occasions. Considering substantial tuition increases each year, in these instances, offering a Tuesday or Thursday at no extra cost would be appreciated, allowing our children to have the full three day week paid for and partake in an enrichment they usually miss. Thanks.

Your early learning center is amazing and the teachers truly care

My family and I love the Y. We do it all (gym, classes, after school programs, camps, etc) and are so grateful that we have a safe, welcoming, positive environment in the community to raise our kids with healthy habits and occupations. Most recently, we went to the school vacation week events and had the best time doing STEAM activities with Y staff. I'm looking forward to getting my family into more Y based activities in the future.
Thank you for all that you do for our community and my family!

I really appreciate the variety of activities they do in the classroom, as well as the physical activities included in the program. The classroom activities are engaging, creative, and support meaningful learning experiences. At the same time, the physical activities help students stay active, focused, and energized. It’s great to see a balance that supports both academic growth and overall well-being.

The YMCA is very accommodating and the employees are very welcoming. I appreciate that no video recording and photos are allowed to be taken on the exercise floor.

Tim does an outstanding job running this Y. I travel a lot and go to many Ys, and nothing compares.

What I like about the programs and activities is that there is a variety for every skill level and interest.

Great facility, friendly staff! Just wish there were more group classes earlier in the morning and later in the evening, and a few more 45min options.

Leslie at the front desk was more than accommodating, she was not only very helpful but made me feel comfortable to be at the wellness center again. I suffer from anxiety disorder and with making the decision on reactivating my membership she was welcoming friendly and the brightest light on the darkest days.
The YMCA is affordable with lots of amenities for all ages. They also have a plethora of wellness classes that are included in the membership and just overall a positive place to be

Great place to workout! The machines I want to use are often available. The facility is kept very clean. The staff are pleasant and very friendly.

Clean facilities. Friendly staff. Congenial atmosphere and like minded workout buddies of all ages abd types. Good value.

Everyone is so nice from front staff to the instructors. I took Andi’s Barr on Friday. It was a great class!
