Frances is really happy and excited with volleyball. She's been learning so much and growing as a player. As a mother I love how attentive
We’re very happy with the basketball class here. We’ve also attended basketball classes at the Melrose Y and much prefer the instruction here in Peabody.
It is so much more than just a gym, the classes and programs available are fantastic.
The staff are very professional and friendly
The special events, self defense with Larry, the Jr. Celtics program and the homeschool program!! More places need to have homeschool things and this is the reason why we got a membership
Excellent balance of skills training and discipline. It has helped my son with adhd learn some impulse control skills and keeps him engaged.
Such an amazing variety of classes and sports that are offered. My kids love it
Love the pickleball leagues
Fantastic staff. Very well run
The variety of classes and especially pickleball slots!
At least twice a week training.
Classes offered and basketball court. My parents also love the isokinetic machines, cardio machines! It would be perfect if any functional 6:00 am class could be offered for strength and conditioning! I would be there 5x per week! Night classes are harder for me to make due to my job hours. You offer 5:00am class but it's early… :( I hope you consider it!
I like everything about the programs and activities, but especially the instructors. Each one is fantastic. I have nothing bad to say about them. The programs are interesting and fun. I learn a lot, enjoy my time and get fit at the same time. Keep doing what you're doing.
I was expecting this to be more of a skills clinic where they would be able to learn new skills then practice them. While it was nice having more kids from other YMCA programs involved, the wide range of ages made it difficult for him to be challenged. Wasn't worth the cost for a non-member in my opinion. On a positive note, I liked the coach and the exercise that it gave my son!
The Pickle Ball league was billed as Advanced, a level of 3.5 or higher, yet the Y allowed about half of the players in this league to be at a lower level and still sign up. Do better.
So diverse and the instructors are amazing
variety
I took pickle ball lessons from Vin! He was great! So kind and patient, and very knowledgeable about the sport. Looking forward to my next session with him.
I don't think you can. You offer a lot and it's a clean facility.
Pickleball
Just joined and love the pickleball options available.
I really like that you have pickleball leagues at 6pm to allow for people that work the chance to play!
Very good for our family especially the kids classes. The staff imembers are so approachable and helpful
The instructors are very knowledgeable
At pickleball we set up and breakdown and the staff person just sits on his phone mostly. Overpriced for what we get.
Convenient and excellent
Vin is a fantastic pickleball coach/teacher! He creates a warm and welcoming community and space where we can all learn, take risks, and develop our game. His combination of knowledge, experience, and humor are most engaging and encouraging.
I wish pickle ball were only for an hour or 1-1/2 hours tops! 2 hours of non-stop play is too much!
Real energy with all the activities and PB . Love coming to the Y
Love the Pickleball, the workout area, and it offers a lot of classes.
I personally and know many others PB players that want more OPEN night pickleball times after 5PM - many of us still work and have to PAY for league to play during the week. I know several members left to go to Beverly Y as they have several OPEN night play times and a lot of OPEN play on the weekends. Was there last night for Tuesday league ( Tues 3/18) The kids playing Basket Ball left trash everywhere! Left basketballs all over and around the court. These kids should have to take there trash out with them and put the basket balls away! We are there to Play (playing to play) - not clean up after these kids!
My daughter learns skills and has fun!
It's informative , fun and a great group of people
My kids are loving the programs they are in. My so is doing basketball and my daughter is in the running program. The instructors/coaches have been wonderful.
Could you please clarify the rules regarding Casual/Fun vs Competitive pickle ball sessions?
There is a variety.
Our session seemed a little disorganized and expensive for only 6 weeks
A very broad variety of programs. For me pickleball at different levels.
Love the spin instructors!! Lots of pickleball fun
Friendly , informative
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.
The staff, and pickleball

Just a great atmosphere!!!!
Pickle ball Nick does an amazing job
excellent facilities. excellent teacher
Offer more open pickleball
The few sports programs that our son has attended at the Torigian YMCA have been fantastic. He had a lot of fun and started learning key things. The best program so far has been Self Defense, I hope this programs stays throughout the year, since it's been very helpful and a great way to learn multiple tactics for self defense and awareness.
