The YMCA is a good community member by providing a number of services and value to Ipswich. The YMCA provides a place for the community to increase fitness and health, and they open their doors to the community as a poll location for Ipswich, and they provide affordable housing units to lower income families.
A welcoming place to keep fit and meet others in the community
It is a place for family
The Y is clean, offers many groups and the equipment is mostly separated by protective plastic panels which is still important to me related to Covid protection.
great water aerobics classes
Coach Cindy is wonderful and flexible with my daughter's schedule. She is in a private school that requires sports. So, Cindy has been great about allowing my daughter to not come certain days due to games and/or needing to manage time between sports and school work. My daughter has felt welcome and supported from day 1.
I regularly use the Gloucester and Beverly Ys. I am delighted to see MG grandchildren take advantage of the services if the Ipswich Y.It is a great community resource. 😀

Blaire is great with the group of kids. She has a patience of a saint! She incorporates fun and structure into every session. My daughter is always so excited to go to street hockey every week and has learned a lot of skills. I hope they offer this program again!
Love it
Fantastic facilities
Lots of exercise options
I recommended Yunjie and she will join soon.
Although we only participate in one class a week, it appears there are many options available for folks to choose from. I do kind of wish there was a way for us older folks to save money especially if we’re only taking one class a week.
The teachers and atmosphere of the pool and support staff.

The north shore sharks are a great organization that offer our son a competitive outlet that he loves, plus a group of new friends.
