Staff, facilities, other members
Sports camp truly included a big variety of sports with both drills/instruction and play time. They rotated through lots of fun activities and kept kids moving and engaged! Staff knew my son's name and built a relationship with him. Loved how much time they spent outside despite having the gym space available. Thank you!
Well-run and great programs (ie group classes)
The Y has all the classes and equipment that I need. Staff always friendly and helpful.
Had my kids spend the last week of camp here and they had a great time. They loved the different sports activities and my younger one liked gymnastics camp. Definitely will come back again and highly recommend!
Great workout space, friendly staff, great classes
This was my daughter's first time, she loved it. Her favorites were high ropes, swimming, and archery.
Matt and Laura at sports camp were superb! Went out of their way to show care and were super thoughtful.
Honestly, the biggest thing is my daughter liked it, and she is picky, lol
My son attended Star Camp for the first time this summer and had the best time. He cannot wait to go back next year! He has grown up so much from being there. He has nothing but great things to say about it! I'm so happy that he has a place like this to go to. It's been his favorite experience this summer. Thank you 💜 🙏
I love that my son is able to swim so often, participate in climbing and games and engage in physical activity while enjoying nature. The staff are all kind, supportive and conscientious. I have never had a bad experience at Sterling Woods, I'm so happy to have such a wonderful program for my son to attend.
Clean, Well Staffed and availability of Weights/Machines.
Amazing staffs and the sign-up process was very easy. Everyone is professional and willing to help if needed. Looking forward to next summer. Thank you all for all the fun time you provided.
Love the yoga classes. Wish you could get the AC in that room figured out though.
It has everything! And many lications. Ice facilities and wonderful and friendly staff.
I would recommend working at the Y because of the wonderful quality of the vibe with coworkers!
The Beverly Sterling Center YMCA IS GREAT FOR MANY REASONS,
The staff is always friendly and helpful. Every time I ask a staff member to show me how to use a machine they stop whatever they were doing and take the time to help me.
They have really nice, modern, very effective and fun workout equipment.
The whole place is clean. The locker room, the gym equipment, the sauna… everything is clean. No bad odors, or damp floors in the Men’s locker room.
Because of the 1st three attributes, this YMCA draws a pleasant non-threatening clientele.
This is important because as we age we want a ‘Safe’ non confrontational place to work out. I know a few guys my age that have left other gyms because of this.
ThankYou for providing such a really nice, very functional, peaceful atmosphere to work out.
