Amazing facility, literally the only place I have seen in the U.S. so family friendly, kind of visionary and forward-thinking. Staff is friendly, professional and welcoming. A true role model for what a community-oriented center should be.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great energy, diversity of equipment and offerings, helpful and engaging staff. This is easily the best Y in the area, I've visited most, many good gyms, but none match the Beverly Y in my esteem, I enjoy working out at the fitness and cardio areas.

If you could acquire a belt squat machine I'd be so happy, it's the one machine that allows me to squat heavy without any pain after having shattered my pelvis and developed arthritis in hips and knees.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Liz has done such an incredible job with our preschooler! He has been very tentative and nervous about the pool, but has really thrived working with her this past session. He’s much more confident and comfortable in the water after working with her!

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I love the Y and find the staff and community very welcoming. I do have two areas of feedback though.

1. I love designing my own workouts for the functional training space, and I always check to see if there is a scheduled class before I go, but there are times I get there and there are classes going on. I am assuming that they are paid programs and that is why they aren't on the schedule. I would love to see a list somewhere of when the space is not available so I can plan accordingly. Also, I was working out in there last Monday and an instructor was setting up for her 5:30 class. I had about 5 minutes left in my workout at 5:15 and she started removing the equipment I was working with without any communication. I found it to be super rude.

2. I love the Happy Birthday alert when signing in. I was having a crappy day, and it truly made me happy when I arrived. :)

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

The facilities and the staff are excellent. I play pickleball at 3 different Y's.

The one area that needs improvement is keeping the website updated as I have often gone to one only to find the activity is not what the website says. Yes, the website could be more user friendly and updated by the staff everyday. Otherwise, all three of the Y's are well kept and an integral part of each community they serve.
