Best Gym near Gloucester, Massachusetts

My wife and I moved to the area in September and immediately joined the Y. Since then, we have, together, enjoyed more than 100 of the trainer-led classes (yoga, cycle, strength training, pool classes, barre, aerobic, etc.). We bounce around among all the selections because we like the variety and challenge. All the trainers have been excellent and very friendly. And all the classes have been engaging to whatever effort level we can meet. The facilities have also been impressive and clean: from the weight equipment to the bikes to the workout rooms and all sorts of useful equipment (dumbells, mats, barbells, bosu, etc.). We could not be happier with that experience -- and think the price is a bargain! We also liked what we saw of the community efforts -- including the busy holiday giving tree, the kids new year's celebration, and what seemed to be a big effort by the Y to help with childcare or kid programs during the local teachers' strike (good for them, by the way, for fighting for more equitable wages and benefits. One other note that I've been wanting to write to you about: just before the holidays, I lost my wallet somewhere in or between the exercise rooms and the locker room. I got home to a call that my wallet had been found. I picked it up later that day: the $200 in cash still in it. What a great YMCA administration and community!

My son has attended the ELC from the infant room through preschool. The teachers and staff are friendly and welcoming. I love that the facility is attached to the gym so they can safely get to swim, gymnastics, and other fitness activities.

Clean friendly atmosphere. I Train with Susanne she’s the best. Very knowledgeable. Great variety of classes. Something for everyone no matter the age

The Cape Ann and Greater Beverly facilities are top notch, with friendly staff, many and varied group exercise classes, plenty of equipment, large pool open for extended hours, clean exercise areas and locker rooms, and a bargain compared to most fitness clubs.

My 11 year old daughter enrolled in the 4 week theater camp and I cannot say enough good things! The staff was absolutely incredible, they communicated with me throughout the entire camp and my daughter enjoyed going each morning and I picked up a very happy kid every afternoon! You have no idea how much that means to her father and I.

The massage I got from Lin was wonderful -- both soothing and invigorating. She instinctively zeroed in on areas of tension and I left feeling 100% rejuvinated. This was my first post-COVID massage and I had my concerns beforehand -- but Lin was willing to do whatever was needed to help me feel at ease, as as a result, I had a great experience & can't wait to return.

I had a massage here with Lin, who runs the place. She was fantastic- clearly very experienced, sensitive to what I needed and very kind. I would highly recommend. The space offers many other services, which I haven't tried yet- I plan to attend a yoga class here as well when I have the chance.

I was hesitant about going to a fitness class. Once I had a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, I knew I had to do something. Samantha has worked with me and guided me since I walked in. She explains why we do the exercises she picks and makes sure my form is consistent. I’ve been working out regularly for 3+ months and feel stronger. Happy to be a part of Stellar Fitness. Samantha and Shari are amazing.

I worked with Sam Klyce from stellar fitness for my mobility, body work and to assist with correcting a lot of core strength. This greatly affected my athletic performance + functional movement in my day to day life. She’s great at listening to what’s going on with your physical body, making sense of it and educating and showing what will help. Sam has a sixth sense for this. Can’t go wrong !

Been going for couple months and I’m loving it, plus I feel great there. Samantha is an awesome personal trainer , and she will keep you motivated every day you are there!!!

Going to Stellar Fitness & Health over the past few years has changed my life. Shari Berkal helped my through the Before-and-After of back surgery. She taught me to get my core right, and then from there she helped me stay pain free for over 4 years and running! After recent shoulder surgery, Samantha Klyce got me back to competing in disc golf again! The attention to your daily and weekly progress, the explaining of "why" and "how" and all the questions I had, and the positive environment, these are only a few examples the many things I love about the treatment and recovery I recieved. Hands down got me back and better than ever. When they put in the work, and you put in the work, you can do this naturally. Do it!

I joined Stellar Fitness for mobility and strength a month ago and so far I've seen a significant improvement overall. Sami is the best! I am so pleased with my results.

If you need a workout, spin with Inner Cycle. Love this locally owned business that is run by some amazing women. Thanks for all you do to be a great member of the north shore community and for keeping us all safe while we spin.
