Member Testimonials
I have enjoyed my time at the YMCA
And so this praise I have to say…
The “Y” has much to offer us
And the construction is really not to fuss.”
So here’s to all who share my view…
I always will recommend YOU!
Sincerely,
John J. Kwiatek
Lots of activities to choose from.
I like the number of lanes that are open for lap swimming. I used to go to the Ipswich Y, but they are really too small and usually only have two or three open swim lanes.
Always clean, staff is friendly, always plenty of machines available
The Sterling Center has such a wide variety of classes there is always something that fits into your schedule. I would also give it a 10 on cleanliness!
Love the facility and the Kids Club
It's a great family place and the facilities are kept very clean!
I love it at the y everyone at both locations are very pleasant
Schedule options, friendly staff, clean facility
enthusiasm and fun from the staff!!!!
But the ventilation in the gymnastics room is not great... and the surfaces could use a cleaning... Bringing small kids into that space sometimes worries me especially in the cold weather months when germs can spread in this kind of environment. Thank you
Hi
The Y is a nice place to go and good staff and I really feel like it is my second home and always feel great to work out there and enjoying the pool and Sauna
My son had fun and I didn’t have to worry about anything.
The staff is amazing. Joey has so much fun and I know he is well taken care of.
Water Wise is the best there is for special needs kids
Yes, I am super-fan of the YMCA these days. Note that I have a Master's degree in Exercise Science and Sports Studies and I've been engaged with the fitness/health/wellness and sports medicine industries since 1996. I am impressed to see the YMCA become a community-hub for so many people-places-things as the 21st Century marches forward! Health and wellness are fantastic values to promote and support! Best.

We love swim lessons with Ms. Bea. She is patient and encouraging with our child who is very reluctant in the water.
Instructor is very encouraging
They are convenient and done well!
The reasonable price for membership and overall pleasantries of members and staff
Great staff and instructors!
Great classes, excellent facility, clean and well maintained. Love the pool and all the hydro classes offered. Staff is wonderful, from the front desk, to the business officers, to the maintenance staff, and naturally, to the excellent class instructors.
I like the wide range of classes offered.
Staff is SO friendly and helpful. Facility is clean, pretty and fun!
Love it people very friendly and have classes I'm interested in plus much more
Great place to make new friends. Also a variety of classes
My son enjoys this basketball program The coach is great with the kids. They are very engaged.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the facility is clean, there are numerous programs to choose from and a lot of new updates.
The attentiveness of the Instructor - Olivia. It feels more structured this session vs. last Spring.
Obviously, there are two "big draws" to the Sterling YMCA. First, the frequent upgrading of the facilities is a huge plus++. Second, no less a factor, the personnel make every effort to welcome and help us members feel comfortable. Third, but not final, the class instructors are all very professional and knowledgeable.

There are too many benefits to list for a family at the Y. We are just scratching the surface of using all that the Y offers.

Attentive and friendly staff. My daughter has so much fun in the afterschool program.
