Member Testimonials
The cost, the facilities, the kids activities and events, esp kids night out and camps. I recommend it all the time to other parents.
Group exercise classes and instructors are all great.
well, equipped facility, well maintained with an awesome staff.
The gym is convenient to me. The people who work there are very helpful and friendly. It is clean and the atmosphere motivates me
Good facility and equipment, classes and instructors.
Only concern is health and safety in the small training area. Four times in the last 2 weeks there were men training in that space with no shoes on. On Tuesday a man was swinging kettlebells in his bare feet. No one cleans the weights after use in that area, and only half of the people using mats clean them after use. There are no signs in that area regarding shoes, cleaning, or cell phones (people come from other areas to use them there). No one supervises the area. All in all, discouraging.
We loved the Sports Camp. The activities and sports games were so fun for the kids and they couldn't wait to go back. Thanks for having this camp and we will certainly sign up for it next year.
Very clean well-run facility, very friendly and helpful staff, great communication to the members
The summer camp is excelente!
My son has gone to Sterling woods for the past 3 summers and has a great time every year. He will talk about the memories he made and the new friends he met.
Such a great facility with so many wonderful offerings!!
It's a great facility that offers a wide variety of classes and activities. And it has a great staff.
Professionalism
It’s a great facility with a lot of amenities
I’ve been going to the YMCA for 32 years even if I leave for a while I always always find my way back. I love the feeling of community and of course, all the great classes and machines and the staff is amazing.
We have loved our summer in Camp Chipmunk! The staff were fun, creative, caring, and attentive. The activities were engaging. My daughter didn’t want to miss a minute!
Fun programs for the kids. I will say that the Friday gymnastics camp performance seemed different and disjointed and not as good as past years.
Instructors are great
Wide variety of classes
Welcoming atmosphere
Wonderful community, excellent instructors. However, I also would like to be able to offer suggestions, and these messages that I receive periodically do not offer that option
The variety of activities, emphasis on being outdoors, enthusiasm of the staff and flexibility of schedule (open early and late daily)
My daughter had a fantastic summer at camp, thanks to all the staff who made it happen!
The exercise room had a/c that actually works. I live in Gloucester but travel to Beverly and Ipswich Ys because the a/c in Gloucester is terrible. So sad, a new Y and they totally screwed up with the a/c in the main exercise room.
Everything is fine for children learning.
The skateboard clinic/camps offered have been INCREDIBLE! Matt is amazing and has such a great way of teaching kids how to skateboard. My son is absolutely obsessed and we could not be happier with Matt and the program as a whole.
Love the early morning opening and the great staff.
because i like the Fitness teacher Lee Benton’s class very much
The Sterling CTR is a wonderful facility offering a wide variety of programs
The ymca in Beverly has so much to offer for family’s and allows parents to still workout and stay active while their children are safe in kids club. There is something for everyone at the Y. As a mom of four ages 6 and under, the ymca is the time of day I get some peace to myself and I’ve always felt comfortable leaving the kids with the teachers at the kids club.
I love the y and the staff are unbeatable. So nice the moment you walk in the door
I liked each week there was a different theme. My son spent 4 weeks there this summer for he first time and never got bored. He asked if he would be able to go back next year. The staff was on top of his needs. I mentioned he wasn’t eating his lunch they kept an eye oh his eating from that point forward. All around a really great program. I think the only thing that could improve it would be to send a pic here and there.
Thanks for making my guys summer memorable!
We have enrolled our children in the camp for years now, and it's often warmed our hearts to see how happy they were after a day of activities with their friends.
There are so many great options for exercise. The classes cover all aspects of a healthy mind and body! It's a great investment in yourself and in your family!
