Great communication
I’ve belonged to several north shore gyms in the past 13 years and the Ipswich Y is my favorite. The staff is helpful and friendly in every single interaction — front desk, maintenance, lifeguards, and anyone else I’ve run into. I think this has a big impact on the members, who are also more relaxed and friendly than in other gyms in the area. I don’t think the people are different at the gyms — I think the management sets the tone, enforces safety and respect, and that is palpable. I also appreciate that the entire place is clean. There’s no funky smell in the locker room — much appreciated.
I like the classes offered. I have made good friends at the y.
Very enjoyable environment. Enjoy the classes.
Location, schedule and variety of classes offered.
Lamar for Jr. Celtics is a wonderful coach. Really pushes important life characteristics like listening well, respect and following directions. He is a great role model for the kids
Friendly staff, clean facility, excellent equipment and programs.
As soon as you walk in it’s a very welcoming atmosphere. I love when Alex is at the desk! He is such a cheery and wonderful person! I’ve met so many nice people just from working out.
Its a great place and the coaches and instructors are very friendly. Don't be nervous about a class. They are great and other will get you going.
I have been going to the Ipswich YMCA for over 20 years. I have met so many friends there.
Everyday they offer great classes for all ages. The instructors are all certified and very friendly.
It is a very welcoming, friendly atmosphere. I just started playing Pickleball and have met so many wonderful people that have helped me with my game. The Y has lots of great equipment and personal trainers. I'm there almost everyday in the morning for a few hours and it's a great start to my day. Highly recommend the Y!
Because it’s a great place to work out and exercise!
It friendly, clean and I like the pool
I love the Y and am grateful for all it offers. However I, and other I've talked to, would like the Y to improve its weekend hours. Of all the days of the week Saturday and Sunday are the two days most people have time to exercise. Please extend hours for these days. Thank you
I love the Ipswich Y.....the front desk folks are very friendly and welcoming, the classes are great (especially the yoga), and the steam room is wonderful.
As a recent retiree, my future plans include getting into the pool and playing some pickleball.
I really enjoy being at the Ipswich Y!!
Great facility, helpful and friendly staff, very clean. Thanks!
People and community are awesome!
Alexis and Brandon are fantastic! Every counselor who has come through the EES the past few years have been great- but those two are stars!
I’m 79 so it is a great place to exercise with out going outside in the winter when it’s too cold
and in the summer when it’s too hot. There are plenty of different exercising machines and the staff Is very friendly and helpful showing you how all the equipment works.
I’m so excited to have found a place where my daughter can play and learn to swim and I can take classes for myself too! We’re new members but couldn’t be happier.
