Friendly welcoming atmosphere
Great Staff always friendly.
The Ymca in Ipswich is clean and has many amenities to offer.
great place, great people
Over the years I have belong to many athletic clubs and several Y's. This one is the best.
Very well run organized gym. Facilities and equipment top notch and plentiful. Classes our outstanding. Instructors are top tier professional friendly knowledgable and great at what they do. And my i would the same about my trainer Emily as well. Over all my experience has been amazing.
Variety of group ex classes.
Great community.
It offers such a variety of fitness options, a well-tended pool, which is the reason I joined, and plenty of classes, which I keep meaning to try!
Awesome!
Ease of applying. Plenty of variety in classes etc.
It provides tremendous options for the price.
I love the Cape Ann YMCA. Amazing trainers, great classes, equipment is more than sufficient, and I love the community aspect and being able to meet people in the Gloucester area.
Good classes, friendly people
Facility, Staff, most everything.
Clean, all machines working, friendly
I was a member on and off of the "old" Y. the new facilitu is a state of the art. We travel so we are not as regular as other patrons but this is a beautiful well organized and well managed plce.
Love the staff, facility and pool
I think the quality of instructors in in yoga classes is outstanding also everyone is friendly
Clean, well run facility with friendly staff and a wide range of fitness options.
Great pool and usually quite clean. J
They do good for the community, their equipment is good, facilities clean and good, welcoming friendly and inclusive environment
I enjoy the Y, but there are too few showers in the locker room. Four showers—with one of them reserved for handicapped—means only 3 showers for all the women who work out at any given time. This often means waiting in line after classes end.
A good facility
The Cape Ann Y offers something for everyone. With great equipment and a variety of classes in a modern clean building, the Y has created a welcoming environment for all!
I love community organizations where all are encouraged to join. I also love to exercise and stove to be healthy.
It was a great and clean place to workout in
Beautiful facility with amazing classes pool equipment and teachers
I think it’s a great place . The people are friendly. the staff does a wonderful job . The place is keep clean.

It’s a safe space, even late at night, and always clean. There are plenty of staff members to make everyone feel secure—grannies, kids, teens... you can find people of all ages here.
I do think the kids’ changing rooms could use a bench and hooks in each stall. The same goes for the kids’ shower rooms—having a dry place to put their clothes is important. A bench and hooks in each shower room would be great, so kids can change and shower without getting their clothes wet. Two shower heads in each kids’ shower room would also help families with two or more children.
I also wish people wouldn’t wear their outdoor shoes in the pool area, and that the pool was warmer. Lastly, I wish the Y were open longer on weekends.
