Friendly Staff, great programs,
The Ipswich Family Y is a good place for a variety of exercise and for a way to make new friends.
Actually I have already done so
Warm welcome, great trainers, pickle ball, friends
My children loved the mini water slide and diving board, something other Y's do not have in their pools. I like the quietness and size of this Y. Some Y's are just too large and they pack in the cardio and weights, and it becomes to busy. I find the Ipswich Y as a perfect size for me and my family.
Very friendly environment
It’s clean, a great indoor pool
We love the swim classes built into daycare
Lots of fun activities for kids and keeps them active after school.
Teachers are great and our child loves to go to school every day!

Very nice facility and very welcoming staff .
I've grown up to know the Cabot and Greater Beverly YMCA very well, but this Y location specifically is lovely. It's smaller, but still has all the amenities and machines you'd need. The front-desk staff is so lovely and makes me look forward to visiting regularly. They make it feel like a community!
Staff is friendly. The Ipswich Y is not over crowded.

Coach Blair and Jeffrey are awesome. They do such a great job with the children. They make Jason feel very welcome and also do a great job teaching different sports to him. Jason has even learned how to dribble because of Coach Blair. He’s always excited to come to class.
Great classe and close to home.

Ipsy is the central point for youth activities in Ipswich and offers great programs

Very friendly community
Very much so. A very good bargain and pleasant atmosphere. Clean and safe.
My son has learned so much in Pre-School and that credit goes to the wonderful teachers! He is going to be so sad when he has to start kindergarten in the fall. I wish I could take the teachers and have them go with him. I can feel totally confident that when my son gets dropped off he is given the best care and education possible. His confidence has grown tremendously and I love hearing about the activities they have done throughout the day. I love that they offer swim lessons and free swim during the school day. I can not say enough how amazing this program is and just how phenomenal the teachers are!!!!
The curriculum is great. I like the kids go swimming and to the gym for games.
My son has flourished in the ELC program at the Ipswich YMCA. We started sending him only a couple days a week and quickly added more as available because he was developing in leaps and bounds. The teachers are so attentive, answer all of our questions, address our concerns, and have a genuine connection with our son. They are the reason we will always recommend the program.
I love that the kids swim and get to use the gym. I also love that they have the playground and get so much outside time.

I have recently joined the YMCA in Ipswich. Everyone has been welcoming, friendly and helpful. Classes are safe, fun and excellent workouts. It is a beautiful facility inside and out. The instructors are expert in their specialties.
