Great sense of community and selection of group exercise classes.
The Greater Beverly YMCA fosters an all inclusive environment/facility where both the young and old can thrive physically, socially, and emotionally! I’ve never seen a frown or cross word from staff or members! Regardless of the activity, there’s nothing but smiles, laughter, and excitement all around! When you enter the Y you are always warmly greeted and you leave with the same warm feeling and a few new friends!
Welcoming, clean environment with a huge variety of sports, workouts, classes, etc. People are very friendly and helpful. Locker rooms are clean, inviting and not crowded. There are no excuses available to not get your exercise, clear your head or socialize with others throughout the many hours of use available each day.
took water classes with scott. GREAT instructor and classes. Love using the pool with my family
Love playing pickleball at the Sports Center. Also like the various group classes although I wish the Yoga/Pilates studio was larger. Also wonderful to have the indoor pool.
Lots of pickleball availability
Good group classes
Very rarely have to wait to use a machine
Courteous and friendly staff
The Y is the best!!!
The Y has a little bit of something for every family member. From workout classes that I love like Power Hour and Strength Train Together to the Kids Club Babysitting services. Our family also attends gymnastic classes, swim team practice and swim lessons as well as the fabulous Friday Fun Nights for elementary students. This year, they've added school vacation programming as well, giving us another option to get out of the house on long, cold winter days.
Good facility for the most part, great group of members in the early shift. Broad offerings. Local social benefit.
The flexibility of the locations, variety of classes, caring staff, and knowledgeable instructors
The Beverly YMCA is such a warm environment! From the front desk to the sauna and everyplace in between we feel so at home and welcomed. The staff are friendly and helpful and The facilities are clean and well maintained. Each visit reminds me of how blessed I am to be a member!
