Good equipment and good environment
Located nearby, great staff. Been a member since 1998.
Only complaint -- need to fix broken machines faster.
Here in Ipswich there isn't much to do for my teens. So they are always going and using the pool. I have cancer and in active treatment which makes it hard to bring kids like in the past when they where younger. This ymca has great staff and great life guards so I never have to worry because I am not there. Thank you very much

Love the classes and the instructors
I have had a great experience since joining the Ipswich Family YMCA within the last two years. I began with Fit for Life after a long period of little exercise. The instructors, especially Kerri O'Connor but also including Judy and on occasion, Patrick, have been really great. They are knowledgable, engaging and working for class members' success. I have since tried a few other classes and my wife and I joined the Fall beginner Pickleball league, which just concluded, and also played with people we met during open gym time. Overall, the Ipswich Y provides a warm, welcoming and supportive environment for all its members - from young families to older folks trying to stay healthy. That feeling is evident the moment Missy greets you at the door with a smile and a welcome. I highly recommend the Ipswich Family YMCA to anyone, of any age or interest level.

The Ipswich Family Y is conveniently located 5 miles from our home. It is clean and well maintained, with a friendly staff. I have enjoyed playing pickle ball in the past and have recently been enjoying the gym facility. Kerri O’Conner has been a wonderful and knowledgeable teacher and trainer who has motivated me to get stronger.
