My nephew needs a place to go for physical therapy.

I love the Cape Ann Y - It is so clean and accomodating. The staff are incredible. The pool and equipment are fantastic and the air purification is great!

The North shore Cape Ann YMCA offers great equipment friendly and helpful trainers and staff. Dr. Curtis MindHealClinic.Com

The location and layout of the facility are very well designed. The upstairs workout area has plenty of cardio machines so you don't have to wait and having access to the TV while working out makes the time more enjoyable. I'm impressed with the cleaning team. The bathrooms are spotless and in general the workout areas are clean. Unfortunately some adults don't wipe down the machines after working out but the signage does help mitigate the problem. It would be helpful to have the staff monitor young kids who utilize the cardio equipment. They aren't aware of safety issues such as setting speed limits and or using the incline features. MOST do not wipe any machines after use. I'm very impressed with the number of older folks that use this space. It is encouraging that we feel safe knowing that staff is available to assist us if needed.

Clean space with lot of classes/equipment

The location is ideal. Friendly staff. Clean facility with lots of options/variety. Traffic was moderate in various times of the day.

The Y is so welcoming to all people. It is a friendly environment to be a in. I have enjoyed coming for over 10 years. During that time I have made many new friends who also feel the fest I do.

It's big, new and offers many different kinds of activity. I do AquaZumba and when I leave I am energized. Water is life!

Friendly helpful staff, very clean well maintained facilities, up to date equipment and classes.
The only issue has been the broken abductor/adductor machine and the time it is taking for repairs.
If I were to make a request it would be for mid- morning cycle classes on Monday and Wednesday.

It's not only affordable for families, but the beautiful atmosphere actually encourages me to come as often as possible and keep advancing my fitness goals. One suggestion, however: there are still quite a few barriers for people with limited mobility (including those with canes/walkers). For instance, treadmills are great therapy for those people, but they are dangerous to access without personal assistance or a platform/short stair. Having one or two treadmills with an access platform and "priority" sign would be a fairly simple thing to do and would greatly broaden participation. Similarly, there are very few places on the 2nd floor for those folks to sit down and rest or stretch, which discourages them from even approaching the machines. There's a huge need to service these people, but very few gyms willing to think about the issue beyond a few "senior" exercise classes.

It’s a wonderful place to be an active part of the community! All staff is friendly and helpful. Keep up the great work!

Great facility good location and affordable friendly

It is part of a healthy active life for me and I want to share it.

Great pool $ friendly people new

Staff are great! You can go to exercise classes every day and join many of the great things everyday that the Y offers. So much to pick from and there is always someone directing you . Fun place to be so happy I joined

You have great instructors

Good place to work out. Unfortunately. I have been unable to come in because of a medical problem. Hopefully. I’ll be able to reinstate my membership very soon

The Y is obviously a great facility and there are first-rate staff who have helped me learn how to make optimal use of all the tremendous equipment.

Separately, earlier this year I had a problem with my left knee, and it was really great to have access to the top-notch physical therapy group from Addison Gilbert at the Y.

Keep up the great work!

I could not be more satisfied, or impressed with the child care center. We have had terrible experiences at the Beverly child care center and yours is so inviting warm and all the employees are happy and smiling when we walk in. It is a hike from my house, but it is worth every moment. The live Christmas band you had playing today was such a lovely touch. We are thrilled. Thank you so much!

The staff is very friendly and answers any questions I might have. I come on off hours (mid morning or mid afternoon) and never have to wait for any piece of equipment.

Clean, great classes, friendly family atmosphere, great classes, and instructors.

Excellent place to workout. Comprehensive training equipment. Please fix hip abductor on 2nd floor.

The facility is wonderful and the staff helpful.
