Instructors, wide variety of classes and programs, senior friendly
The Ipswich YMCA has great fitness programs and a wonderful helpful staff.
Good classes, facility and spirit
I went there to play pickleball first time today and find out all staffs and people are very nice.
Steam room and shower are also great.
Very enjoyable
It’s a great facility with lots of great programs and people. The swim instructor Peter is amazing—got my kid out of her shell and over her water fears over the course of her swim lessons. He is awesome with kids and has a great approach to challenge them while also supporting them. Thanks for everything!
The staff are friendly and polite. Instructors offer alternatives for exercises so that experienced people and novices alike can participate. No judgement zone. There is such a variety of classes!
The Y is a great resource for everyone in town. I am grateful to be able to swim whenever we are home from our extended travels, and in the past often used the exercise equipment and took classes.
Great community space and feel. Childcare to help families with young children. A lot of sports for kids.
Very friendly kids Y.
It's the place in our Town of Ipswich where all kinds of people meet, play and exercise. The staff there is always welcoming. For us, it's the place where we work out enjoying all the variety of equipment that the gym has to offer. I used to enjoy the classes too and met many friends while taking those classes. Although we have no children now, it's just wonderful to see all the kids of all ages with their parents enjoying so many of the programs. The indoor pool and the outdoor water park is like Nirvana for parents and grandparents and kids during those hot summer days. We're also so happy to learn that the Y in Ipswich will be stepping up their sustainability with waste. Thank you for your recycling efforts in the future. We are just so lucky to have the Y in our Town and I'm happy to recommend the Y.
The facility is well-designed to fulfill a variety of communal and physical adventures and goals. The staff is well-informed and hospitable and the onboarding for new members is efficient and easy. We've only been members a short while, but so far the experience has met, if not exceeded our expectations.
