Member Testimonials
The Ipswich YMCA is a welcoming community. Instructors and staff are friendly, kind and helpful. Also, other patrons are respectful and friendly.
Kids have the opportunity to do work, play in the gym or playground, or do crafts.
I really like the Y. It offers a lot of different types of classes, and has a good variety of workout machines, and offers many different programs for people of all ages.
My only issues are that some of the equipment, like the weight machines and the spin bikes are maintained quite as well as they used to be, and that the air conditioning in studio B is not timed with the classes. Usually the ac doesn't come on until the class is almost over. This has been an issue for years!
I’ve been an Ipswich YMCA member for a few years now; it’s one of my happy places. My family plays there, I workout there, and the community there is simply inspiring. <3
The teachers my son has are fantastic! I love that they get to do an extracurricular activity each day (like swimming, yoga, etc..) as part of their curriculum. My son really enjoys going to “school” and tells me all the fun things he got to do each day!

Love Zumba. Especially Alena. She is awesome!
Swim program has been great so far, we did some baby/parent a couple years ago and now do preschool and it's been going very well.
One of the lifeguards in particular (Andrew I think) has been great with all the kids when we see him interacting with them!
Different class days and times, small class size for the younger kids
Great classes and you can’t beat the pool in the summer.
The swim instructors are so caring and they really know how to get kids into swimming.
The staff is friendly knowledgeable and I like the classes. I have met 2 new friends at the gym.
Love the facility programs and staff. Super pleasant!
Any chance we could get spin bikes repaired and B room speakers fixed would be appreciated
