Member Testimonials
The great gym. Good equipment variety. Also the enviroment is a lot more respectful and peaceful than a typical gym. Everyone does their thing and doesn’t bother anyone else if they don’t have to. The gym equipment like the bikes also have things like games and other visuals to help make workouts a bit more fun.
The staff are supportive, duteous and helpful
I like how professional and efficient that the trainers are in teaching my son how to swim.
Great facility, great people and a totally great experience.
Great & friendly staff
Lots of equipment to chose from
Great facilities, great people. Welcoming environmentm
We love the Kids Club and aquatics staff for swim lessons as well as swim team. We do wish that when it wasn't busy on the weekends or school vacations that the Kids Club was 2 hours unless it did get busy. Often it's an hour and just time to rush in and out for a class despite the fact the room is rather empty.
While sometimes a bit too busy, the Y offers a good value. Many good instructors and decent equipment.
Because it is open to all, has wonderful services and classes, day care and child-oriented services.
My husband works a a lifeguard and swim instructor at a local Y. He loves his job because the Y has been a place for him to learn further skills in both areas and his work mates are good people.
Nice and big. I don't feel crowded even when there are a lot of member there. The constant improvements is in unbelievable.
Excellent coaching and a great team environment! My 8 year old is all in!
Multiple courts available for Pickleball
Great equipment and Pool! Friendly staff, very clean, close to home.
I really enjoy all the program’s available for myself and my family. We have taken advantage of exercise classes, childcare and Friday kids nights. We were also very thankful for the Y programming during the school strike.
One note - I’ve noticed a lot of phone usage in the locker room and especially in the women’s sauna. I would love for the Y to try to curb that. It feels really inappropriate in what should be a private space.
Great staff in the work out room and nice equipment. Courteous greeters at the front desk.
Kathy is great! My daughter loves swim class. The pool updates and new family locker room are very nice. Good to see continued investment in the pool.
Great teachers, fun classes, welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
The Plaistow YMCA is community based. I am an employee of 23 years and prior to that a long standing member.
I have met many people from all walks of life and developed several friendships.
I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Safe place for my son to play with friends.
Gymnastics room is EVERYTHING my childself dreamed of! I am so thrilled to be able to have a space of that caliber to bring my son to.
it;s good
Excellent natatorium and gym. Men’s showers are a bit “cramped”.
The clean well lit spaces, ample and diverse group fitness classes and parking!
Awesome Helpful staff
I think the YMCA has many benefits. I would recommend that members be able to register their car and have an area of reserved parking for members only. There have been an increasing number of days where members have had extreme difficulty finding parking. It is usually during swim meets, other spectator sports, Halloween trunk and treat, etc where non-members often take up almost all of the parking.
Because there is so many choices
Good atmosphere and, usually plenty of equipment
Staff extremely friendly, lots of machines, personal training great. Very clean
The Sterling Y is a meeting place for the greater communities.

Love the facility, the staff and the classes!
