Very friendly and cozy place . Love it
In short, the Ipswich Family YMCA does a great job serving its community - from toddlers and elementary and middle schoolers to young mothers and elders. The tone is set at the front desk when Missy and her colleagues welcome you back. Classes are really good, tailored well to different fitness levels, interests, and styles. I have not done personal training but know members who are very pleased with the coaching they receive. Staff is always helpful, professional and warm - a reflection of the Y leadership. For what we get, I believe the membership fees are very reasonable, especially when you add in what the Y means to the Town of Ipswich.
Because of your programms & your support to Community.
A variety of classes, and the community aspect.
Great place to workout.
A bit of a concern regarding automobile break-ins.
And the men’s locker room needs a serious rehab. Carpet, lockers, etc.
Friendly workers. Appropriate programs. Fun place.
The facility and classes are great!
So far it’s great. Staff are wonderful!
Nice experience.
Friendly place.
The Y has everything I need, form classes to equipment. It is clean and convenient to get to.
Clean, friendly, well equipt, convenient
It's a great way to get yourself going!
The building is easily accessible , niice equpment and a pool.
Clean facility with a variety of classes for all ages. Qualified instructors who make classes fun. Only drawback is limited availability in some popular classes due to sign up restrictions. My suggestion is open up sign ups at start of day when Y opens not 24 hr before start of class. Or eliminate sign ups and make do. Studio A could hold more people if kick boxing bags were stored elsewhere.
Swim team
Friendly atmosphere. Great staff. Main area too small. Over crowded
I have used the kids club babysitting at several north shore Y’s. Last time I visited the Ipswich Y the 2 individuals at the kids club were very cordial, greeted us and were engaging my son and other kids in the room when I picked him up. My son was also very happy about his experience- would use this service and the Ipswich Y for registering my son for activities- just wish the facility was larger!
The Y in all communities has something to offer everyone. Bigger is not better while smaller YMCA usually have smaller membership are less busy and still offer a first class facility. I am recommending the Y to everyone one I know.
I stopped by Sunday to check out the facility and to stretch a bit coming back from NH
Thanks again for having me
