Aquatics !!!!
Great people. Great place. A Building is just a Building but. What makes Peabody YMCA is the love that the people who work here that makes it a Great Place. That made a few updates and always keep this place well maintained. Absolutely love this place. It’s safe for the kids and you get the best of your time here.
Thank you so much for your effort.
I only really use the pool and gym but it is never overly crowded and the pool is available for laps frequently during the day
The staff is great. They are patient with those of us who are new to the programs. Everywhere you look, it's clean. The programs are varied and available at different times. It's all good.
As a single mom, joining the Peabody Y has truly been one of the best decisions I could have made for my children (and myself) . From the moment we became members, the experience has been nothing short of exceptional, providing both incredible opportunities for my kids and invaluable peace of mind for me.
What truly sets the Peabody Y apart is its incredible staff. From the wonderful instructors at the pool to the dedicated Child Watch team, and all the supportive staff members behind the scenes, every interaction has been positive. I have such peace of mind knowing that I can work out and focus on my well-being while my children are not only being safely watched but are also having an absolute blast in Child Watch
My children absolutely love their swim lessons, and it's clear they're learning and growing in a supportive environment. The pool staff, in particular, deserve immense praise. No matter how active the children are around the pool, they handle every situation with remarkable patience and professionalism. They never seem frustrated and genuinely appear to enjoy interacting with the kids, which speaks volumes about their dedication. We've also cherished the family events, which always create lasting memories for us.
Summer of 2024, my son had the most amazing time at the Y's summer camp, so I did not hesitate to sign him up for a few weeks thus summer. I can confidently say it's been incredibly affordable and worth every single penny.
Additionally, the group exercise instructors are incredibly motivating, and I always look forward to attending their classes after work. It's these high-quality group exercise classes, thanks to their fantastic instructors, that have significantly improved my personal well-being. They create energetic classes where I can truly see results, always ensure the safety of everyone, keep things from being boring with great music, and foster a truly supportive environment.
We even celebrated a birthday party here, and it was perfectly organized and so much fun for everyone.
It's clear that the staff are not just employees; they are part of our community. They are familiar with my children and often greet them by name, creating a warm, welcoming, and personal atmosphere that makes us feel truly valued. Thank you, Peabody Y, for providing such a fantastic, supportive, and enriching environment for families like ours. We are so grateful for everything you do!
It's there to provide programs one would like to participate in.
Lots to choose from. I enjoy the pool classes and chair yoga
There is something available for all ages to participate in and enjoy!!!
Thank You! My kids enjoy the camp!
Both my children have taken various stages of swim class and we have been very happy
Love the facility. Probably. the best one in metro north. Great instructor, really helping my son learning to swim.
The instructors are nice and most of them are enthusiastic. They do a good job teaching essential swimming skills at all levels. It would be nice to get report cards more consistently so I know which class is best for my child to sign up for.
I want my 2 year old to be safe around water so I was very excited to sign up for the parent and Me swim class. We have had 3 classes so far and it has been great. My daughter is having fun but also learning skills that will help keep her safe while around water. I'm glad the Y offers such a great program for families.
The classes that I take are geared to older adults. They help keep me standing. The people that take the classes are very social and engaging. The instructors are very good and will help with personal modifictions, if necessary.
The large selection of classes and activities is one of the reasons why I enjoy my membership.
Good system to reserve classes, however definitely a need for more of the popular classes, such as barre!
Pickleball
Instructors are great with kids!
Our 3 year old is in swim lessons with Ali (not sure how she spells her name). We love that a group lesson is only two kids, and we appreciate that the pool is not absolutely mobbed during lessons. We previously took lessons at another YMCA that had a much smaller pool and an overwhelming number of kids and instructors in the water at the same time. We also LOVE Ali. She is so engaging and patient with our daughter. The last time we tried lessons, our daughter would scream and not even get into the pool. Now she looks forward to seeing Ali and being in the water every week. Thank you for all that you all do!
Just joined and love the pickleball options available.
I love the Enhanced Fitness Class! It's great for older women.
Very easy and relaxed, no jerks!
Bike pool treadmill
I really like that you have pickleball leagues at 6pm to allow for people that work the chance to play!
Variety
I like the accessibility to different options,my grandchildren love going there .I'm not too involved in the many offers but am satisfied with what I have.
The vast array of group fitness classes are taught with top-notch instructors. The staff members are all friendly and actively engaged in the community. Also, Kathleen the director, is approachable and actively open to customer feedback.
I like water aerobics but I would like a class around 11am or noon.
I mainly use the gym and find it clean and available!
I am very happy with the water aquatic classes and would like to see more deep water aerobics available.
