Member Testimonials
I typically take 3 classes a week and then on the other days I walk. The classes give me a variety of workouts and Lynda and Eddie are excellent instructors! I’ve also made some great friendships with people in the classes! I absolutely love the Y!
A good number of senior classes
Although I don’t so classes,….It is a clean, safe place to work out.
Lots of variety
Mary L and Donna D are fantastic
Mostly use the pool. Staff seems friendly. Locker rooms are decent. Pool is clean
I’m so happy about adding the extra classes for chair yoga, now it would be great to add more senior fitness classes, cannot always get into Tuesday’s session.
Great instructors
They are very good for kids, they help them to stay active and improve their skills.
Staff is competent, friendly, helpful. Place is clean. Great indoor pool
Children get a fun filled day of special events and swim every day. It is exactly a kid being a kid day. We love it.
The kids are Learning and engaging with other children, making awesome friends, can't say enough about the awesome staff, Camp Eastman rocks, as well as the early Learning center. The Y has become a second home to us, and I'm glad that I made the choice to move close to this awesome community. Hats off too the Torigian YMCA.
Love the front desk and classes. When classes are always full you add more which is great. Clean and well run.
It's a great option for physical activity and also for kids! Especially during vacations! So far, we're satisfied. The bathrooms are clean, but the gym doesn't have enough equipment. But I still manage to workout.
Such a positive experience for both of my kids. Seeing friends from school and making new camp friends over the years. Staff is A+
Love the variety and the energy and attitude of the instructors and participants!
This is our first year at Camp Eastman! The activities are so much fun! Each week is jammed packed with activities that keep my son going. Everyday he comes home with new exciting stories and friends that he has met. I am thankful for all of the camp staff and leadership for providing my son with a fun and exciting summer! Thank you camp Eastman!
The staff are great! Steve provides individual personal training for my disabled adult son. My son loves it and receives professional guidance. The pool is awesome!
everything is a 10 staff is great as well my only complaint is the condition of the mens locker room all the lockers are rusted and i feel the need to wash my clothes every time after
I love the aquasize programs. I can only attend at night because I work during the day. The Ipswich Y which is closer to me has no water programs for adults at night. Which is a shame because I have to travel from Rowley to Peabody twice a week at night to participate. If I did not like these classes I would not travel 40 minutes twice a week to attend. The instructors are terrific. BUT on the app it states the classes are an hour and they are only 45 minutes. I would rather have them be an hour, personally.
Well organized and available to everyone. Instructors are knowledgeable and fun to work with. ONE SUGGESTION: build a multi level garage to relief the lack of parking spaces!!!!!
I am very happy with the water aquatic classes and would like to see more deep water aerobics available.
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
