Variety and accessibility
Love the early morning classes! Kelly and Michelle are terrific instructors, always adding suggestions and ways to support everyone in the class. 5:10am is early, but I get a great workout in and its a perfect way to start the day!

Good teachers, a lot classes, nice people
Clean, machines set up flows with enough space to workout and can always get a machine, love the walking track, staff is friendly and helpful. Nicer than a private gym!
All of it, the walking track, weight room, pool time and a variety of adult and children's programs. Keep up the good work.
Everything!!!!
Love the classes for seniors. We need more Senior Firness classes!!!
Early morning and late work outs, beautiful ambience and indoor walking track
So much variety of classes offered throughout the day. Instructors are knowledgeable friendly and bring the energy into the class.
The front desk and swim staff are professional and friendly. The membership director was especially kind and helpful.
I am taking Pickelball lessons. Vinnie is an excellent teacher, actually the best there is. He is very patient and skillful. I will continue to take lessons from him.
I like the setup, the parking and truly love the indoor track. That is why I chose Peabody. I switched from Reading for ALL of the above reasons.
Staff members are visible and friendly. Facilities are clean and equipment is in good shape. The Y is clearly committed to wellness for all. I love seeing people of all ages and abilities working out comfortably side-by-side.
Could use more free fitness classes on the schedule. They seem to be declining in number.
Value for the money, as a swimmer I like size of the pool and other members and staff are friendly talkive, like the spinning class too, have not tried the up stairs area yet.
I like having timeslots for Pickleball on most days. I wish that on Monday they would split the time evenly between the casual fun group and the challenging group. So both groups would have 90minutes. This Monday I went to the Saugus YMCA instead because they have two hours for the casual fun group. I also wish communication would be better from the Y about changes in the Pickleball schedule. The front desk staff told me that the online scheduled doesn’t get updated. And they told me to use the app instead.
I almost always swim 1 mile three times a week (at 77 years old). The 100 mile challenge helped me keep up that schedule.
Friendly , informative
They are so good. I do all the water classes sand love them I have made such good friends at the Y
Thank you
Everything great staff and great instructors and great classes
I just use the pool on a regular basis
Your instructors are very personable, and give clear and precise direction. You offer a great variety of programs aimed at all ages, and I especially appreciate the concentration of classes aimed at retirees.
Pickleball
Instructors are well prepared. The pool is the best! People are mostly warm and friendly.
Pickleball! Vinnie is the BEST instructor ever!!!! I’ve learned so much from him and my game has improved immensely! 👍
That Adult Swim class is very good. The instructor is helpful and very nice. Although it is a group class, he allows for swimmer to modify their workouts base on their skill level.

There are plenty of classes. The instructors are wonderful.
