Member Testimonials
Love all the group exercise clssses especially. Instructors are A+! (Pretty sure the Y is contributing vastly to my general health ! )
Because ymca is my favorite place to control the stress
Fresh clean friendly affordable multi-generational accessibly! We have been members for over 30 years continuously- across four states- and are grateful to visit YMCA across the country! We started with the babysitting, then the kids and teens classes. All the while we have been enjoying the gym and the pool, and classes like the CPR/AES and first aid courses.
I’v been member since the Y in Ipswich was at the Boone Hall in Ipswich. 3 years an I moved to Beverly and I find both Y to be friendly and well staffed. I also know that the Y’ involvement in providing house care is desperately needed. I am grateful that finally there is a reduced senior rate. Women over time live longer than men and often with much less money. The only criticism I would have is that the reduced rate for many is still not enough to afford to belong. There are many people who cannot afford anything. In these extremely affluent communities of the North Shore,I think we should do better.
The Beverly Y is a bright, lively, gorgeous place with kind, professional and compassionate staff members. Thank you.
Clean, friendly. al kinds of equiptment. NEED FAR BIGGER SOAP DISPENSERS...incompetent nightcrew is not capable of keeping current dispensers FULL at all times...this is easy stuff....put 2 in each stall...far too may stalls....need large amost like Gloucester. I fell like Superman changing clothes in a phone booth....ceiling, quiet fans unlike insane jet engines that MAGA like people cant wait to turn on and disturb sane members.
Everyone is so helpful and the equipment is up-to-date and so clean and with the variety of classes, I can try something new all the time

We love the variety of machines, choice of classes, and the beautiful, clean space.
My child likes it
We can count on Y sports to be character development and sportsmanship focused, working on skill building and how to compete while having fun along the way. We trust and have experienced that Y coaches lead by modeling these positive behaviors and holding themselves to a high standard
Love the encouraging atmosphere and the strength training. Tess loves it!
The Y has everything I need. I do some of the classes, yoga, Zumba and use the sauna. I take my granddaughter to swimming every week and we're very happy with the instructor (Laura) and the program.
The Greater Beverly YMCA is so welcoming from the front desk to the trainer and the cleaning staff. It's clean and bright space makes you want to want to come back and try something new.
We use the facility almost every day. It is convenient, reasonable, offers a wide variety of programs and classes, AND has an awesome staff (especially the people at the front desk and in the adjacent offices). A special shout-out to Ainsley and Chris Harrington.
My son Cooper Paquin absolutley loves this program and the instructor is amazing always having something positive to say! Offering tons of positive comments to the kids no matter thier abilities giving them tons of confidence
Matt does an awesome job organizing the basketball program!
We have been loving the homeschool gymnastics program at the Beverly Y. Leanne is a phenomenal instructor and my kids look forward to her class every week.
The program has given my child more confidence especially with his social skills compared to when he first started. The gymnastics director has done an amazing job.
My daughter is 3 and can very picky about group activities but she loves gymnastics. Asks everyday when the next class is. The kids are active and happy and as a mom that makes me happy.
We love the basketball program. Also, the Club Mid sports are wonderful!
Lori is absolutely amazing! My kid has grown so much by having her as a coach.
Lorelei is fantastic with the homeschool kids of all ages and abilities. She is patient yet pushes them to learn every week. Can’t say enough good things about her and the program.

Our coaches are fantastic, and really cultivating a love of basketball for our daughter. We only wish the season was longer!
