There is a large poison ivy vine drawing up a tree right at the entrance of the Ipswich Y that needs to be taken out. I have told people at the desk several times to please tell someone about it with no results.
Wonderful place to get and stay fit, feels like community. Great equipment, classes and trainers. Way better than an expensive, private gym.
It feels like home

Sense of community, lots to offer, outdoor pool
My son loves the after school program at Essex, and the staff is kind to him (and my younger daughter when she joins for pickup).
Good facilities and friendly helpful staff.
The Y has very friendly people, they are community supporting, and offer a variety of excellent classes. Bundle that with modest price and it's the best find in Ipswich!
I am comfortable and happy with the facility and staff and equipment and schedules. Sports Director Lamarr Walker is terrific. He's patient and organized and wonderful with children and parents!
My daughter has thrived at the YMCA Family center. Each teacher brings so much care, creativity and light to the kids at this center. I wish she could stay forever. From swim lessons, gym time, walking into Ipswich center, wildlife hikes, creative lessons that focus on play and learning... what is there not to love! I'm so thankful and lucky to have found this place!
Dedicated, thoughtful, and caring teachers who go the extra mile every day to make sure our daughter has a fun and active day with developmentally appropriate curriculum. There is a perfect mix of seasonal and STEM-related activities and programs. The classroom activities promote social skills and the development of early friendships. We are so grateful for the entire team at the YMCA and County Rd ELC!
The staff is very welcoming when I arrive. I have all the machines I need to maintain my health. The pool is great. And, there are numerous classes to participate in.
I never thought you could replace Missy at the reception desk, but you certainly did. 👏
