Member Testimonials
Good people work there! Yoga classes are excellent…i always feel welcomed! Also very clean and neat. Thank you all
I go to the Ipswich Y to attend Leeann Rubin classes. She is such a dedicated teacher, very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She makes everyone feel special and welcome.
Great facilities and community.
Friendly environment and greeting at the entrance
I would like to have more classes for over 50 for toning and balance. Like to convince Patri Koning to do a class other than 6 a.m.
It would be nice to have the classes that require registration to adhere to the number or add a class to accommodate the overflow.
Friendly, welcoming, interested in your experience
I've almost always had a great experience. It's a good value. There's a good sense of community.
Variety of equipment offered
I just really like the Ipswich Y. It offers lots of classes and equipment, and employees are pretty friendly in general.

      We love all the nature activities and how much they care!
Great facilities, friendly staff. Nice recent updates.
Clean, friendly staff, friendly gym members, plenty of exercise equipment, no hardos, people clean the machines after they are done, maintenance staff is very quick
The variety of gym equipment is wonderful and the steam room in woman's room is a real treat.
Clean, well lit, nice facilities. Warmly greeted on the way in and out. Great pickleball group!
The building, the equipment are well kept — the attention to the details make the larger picture a success.

      Counselors are caring and playful. My son enjoys his time at the Program and feels safe. They are also so welcoming to me and my young daughter during pick-up.
Great environment to have a membership in

      Pool for swimming laps
The Y is a wonderful asset to our community. I have been a member for many years and have met friends here and feel welcome every time i come in. There is wonderful support to help meet your fitness goals. Everyone is friendly and helpful and there are offerings for everyone. Keep up the good work!
Great amenities nice people
They are excellent in every category...helpful, courteous, friendly and excellent in their fields of expertise.
I would recommend the Y, the Ipswich Y has made some great upgrades and the place is always clean and friendly. The suggestion going forward are: enforce the rules about cellphone usage, almost daily I hear people on conference calls while in the gym, vary the music tracks, I'm sick of hearing Pit Bull daily, and finally, install wider benches in the men's locker room so can actually sit down on them comfortably. Thank you!!
Everything i need and nice environment. I wish the pool had more lap swim lanes open other than at the crack of dawn or late, but undertand it's used for lots of other important stuff
Diverse opportunities to exercise. Clean. Well equipped. Community vibe.
It is a welcoming organization that builds people up to create a community. The facility is clean, brightly lit.
It feels very safe. I love the diversity of the trainers, the programs, and the clientele. I feel supported around any health goal I have no matter the stage of life I am in. I have used the Y resources through pregnancy, with my toddlers, camp-aged kids, the daycare for little ones so I could work out, recovery from a flare of multiple sclerosis, a shoulder surgery, arthritis, rehabbing, weight loss and now menopause. I know my family and I are always welcome.
Great place, family friendly, great activities, and the grounds and gear are kept well.
Variety of exercise options, clean facility and friendly staff
