Enjoyed our first Summer at the Y in Ipswich.
Working out regularly and also enjoying some classes here.
Looking forward to many more days ahead!
My Grandson had a wonderful camp season.
Camp Dory was amazing this summer! Super well run, great communication, fun activities every day!
It is a freindly, welcoming spot to work out and meet up with friends. Most of the employees are very well trained (not all) and really encourage you to work out according to yur ability.
Our local Y is a cornerstone of our community, helping us build a healthy and active family

My daughter had so much fun at camp Cedar Mill, she can’t stop talking about great gaga ball is. She’s already asked me to go back again next year. It was nice that even on hot days I knew that they’d be in some shade, and they could get in the pool to cool off. The pick up and drop off line was also very efficient. She hasn’t been at camp for a week now but she’s still singing who let the dogs out. She’s only five years old, but I know she felt comfortable there because she always ran up the hill by herself when I dropped her off and was always excited to go again.
My kiddo always climbs in the car tired with lots of stories of what he did that day.
I love the fit for life classes. They are teaching me everything I need to be doing at my age-69. I love to see how busy the Y always is. And I like the choices of other classes that I still need to attend.
I can’t say enough of this staff at Camp Cedar Mill. Especially those who know how to handle conflicts among the campers. And I am in great favor of removing youngsters who do not behave. And I was completely thrilled to learn that this occurred the week of April 17 so bravo to the Director and all those who hold the line on doing the right thing and providing great boundaries and discipline among the campers and the staff.
Such a fantastic place to be!! Excellent programs for everyone!!
Very nice facility and the staff has been excellent
Great place to get healthy, enjoying longer life through exercise.
The Y has so much to offer, but...
I really don't understand how the Ipswich Y can't get the AC right in studio 2. I've been taking classes,in that room for many, MANY years and the AC has never been on schedule for the spin classes there! What the heck?!
I absolutely loved the YMCA Summer Program! The schedule was fantastic, and the daily activities were so much fun and kept my kid engaged all summer. Most importantly, the staff was absolutely amazing! They were kind, attentive, and so accommodating to all of my son's individual needs.
I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience they provided. I would highly recommend this program to any family looking for a fun, welcoming, and caring summer program! ⭐️
A great social connection as well as physical exercise.
The Y is an amazing community for all. Our family is loving the outdoor pool and splash pad this summer
The community. It’s unlike any gym environment I’ve been in before. People are friendly. Outgoing. Conversational and warm. You never feel like you’re alone in the weight room. It’s incredible.
Friendly Staff, Clean Accommodations, Convenient Location
It’s the perfect size gym and facility, not too big. Staff are super friendly, childcare is awesome, and the pool and splash pad are amazing.
Great amenities, clean, safe, family friendly space. We really enjoyed the outdoor pool and all of the great things the Y has to offer!
I love the Y! The people who run Kids Club are amazing—my kid loves it as a way of socializing with kids of different ages. I heard about kids club through friends in town and now we all go as a way to get our kids hanging out together.
The lifeguards are great too—we have had great experiences with Peter the swim instructor, who I have given positive feedback about previously, and Hunter the lifeguard who is super friendly.
My one enhancement request for the Ipswich location is that the Concept2 rowing machines get a deep clean — every 6 months or so they need the flywheel mesh removed (with a Phillips head screwdriver) and brushed out/vacuumed and the pull chains need to be cleaned and oiled somewhat regularly. I own one of these rowers and it is a combined 10 min chore that makes all the difference in their longevity and their enjoyment of use. I am happy to show an employee the process, but Concept2 has great YouTube walk throughs too... or I’d honestly be perfectly happy to do it myself if you would let me. Your machines have rowed 17+million meters each so they have racked up some serious debris inside!
Terrific over 55 exercise classes. Very professional, friendly, caring instructors.
Outstanding staff!
Very family oriented, friendly staff, great variety of equipment, machines and classes offered.
Group exercise classes and instructors are exceptional. Front desk reception is friendly and helpful. The biggest drawback in Ipswich is the shortage of parking spots.
Great staff, very clean, eqipment in excellent condition.
