Member Testimonials
Nice facilities and sense of community
The staff at the Ipswich YMCA have been wonderful. From the front desk, to the lifeguards, to the childcare staff, everyone has been more than happy to help with a smile on their face. It's refreshing to be around such great customer service!
A great place to exercise and meet people. Offers programs for all ages. The Y is very involved in the community and does more to help people than I think is realized.
Staff was super friendly and welcoming to my family. Kids really enjoyed the outdoor aquatic center, so we will definitely be visiting again !
The outdoor pool is fantastic!
We love our time at camp Cedar mill. My son gets so sad when it’s his last day. He makes so many new friends from neighboring communities, and he loves getting into all the themes. We can’t wait till next year!
This was my kids 2nd time here and they LOVED it! I wish they could do all summer but I am a teacher and poor. They were mad it was only for the week.
friendly, helpful staff. Lifeguards are attentive to swimmers in pools.
Our kids love the Y, especially for the pools. And we're happy to have a membership that covers a few different locations on the North Shore. I also utilize the Y for the pickle ball. Thank you!
All Camp Staff on site at Camp Dory are GREAT!!
has lots to offer to all ages
My kids enjoy their time at the Cedar Mill Camp during the week. They are able to connect well with their counselors and have also been making new friends. Highly recommend Cedar Mill!
Good healthy,friendly place...Good programs
Reasonable price
Great child care
Kids classes
Pool
It’s family friendly with a great pool!
We love the size of the classes being a bit smaller (as well as the pool) so our kiddos are not as overwhelmed for swimming! The proximity to our house in Topsfield is also a huge help. And the outdoor splash pad is such a cool feature for summer months when we're not sure what to do with the hot, hot days!
I love the advanced Pickleball group, but the air conditioning/HVAC situation in the gym needs to be addressed. The ducts need to be cleaned, the vents need to be reoriented to face away from the walls and the gym needs to be air-conditioned better during summer heat waves. This is an older cohort of individuals using the gym and there has been a little response to multiple requests for help in this area over the past few months.
Staff kind and helpful. Clean facility
We had an amazing time at the Ipswich YMCA. The front office staff was super friendly and informative. The splash pad was clean and the life guards were amazing.
The Ipswich family YMCA is a wonderful local gym and sports center.
I visit the gym weekly, and shoot some hoops or take a dip in the pool on occasion. The steam room helps me Sooth my achy joint in the winter time., And l love seeing the families take advantage of this wonderful nonprofit local family/youth organization facility.
Great environment, nice staff, has everything you need to stay healthy and grow old gracefully.
The Y is a place that welcomes you and provides such a great array of fitness options and equipment. It is the perfect after work undo for hours of chair sitting!
Clean, convenient, excellent support!
Everything I need to stay healthy, clean facilities and friendly staff. Great kids club!
Great staff!
I’ve been a member for 6 years. I am a disabled Veteran so greatly appreciate the consideration that you provide with a reduced rate memebership. It’s an important part of my physical rehabilitation. —It’s well kept and staff is friendly too. I appreciate the YMCA!
The teachers and staff are amazing! Everyone is so welcoming. No matter what class your child is in ALL the staff know the kids and parents. They do cute activities around certain holidays like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day they had the parents come in to mingle with the kids and parents. It was nice way to meet the other parents. You can tell these teachers all love these kids and love the job. Highly recommend
My kids are able to use our local lake and have fun so close to home.
clean facility; good staff
Love their outdoor pool and splash pad
The kids loved how busy they were all day! The variety in the types of activities was a lot of fun for them. They came home with so many stories and experiences. Even though my children are different ages, they were able to interact a little bit but still got a lot of time with kids their own age, which I think is a great combination. The only thing that they regretted was not having more time in the huge swimming pool - sometimes, their block was only about 20 minutes, but they did acknowledge that there so many kids there that they all had to have a turn, so they seemed to understand.
