Everything! My daughter has been attending since year one. The team at the afterschool program always makes it fun for the kids with activities and crafts. Such a great resource for the town!
My daughter has learned so much within a couple of weeks just being involved in this program. she loves all her new friends and teachers. She has been using so many words each day you can see what they do is really helping the kid's development.
Great staff and facility!
I love their outdoor pool area and the zumba classes!
We loved it - the facility was wonderful (and large!), staff always so kind (from walking in the front door to getting in the pool) and instructors very knowledgeable. I loved the focus on water safety and not just swimming. We can't wait to sign up again!
It has a variety of options for workouts. The facility is clean and the staff are friendly and helpful.

My kids both enjoy their time with the aftercare. Especially on full days at the Ipswich ymca.
The Ipswich Y ELC is hands down the best part of the Ipswich Y. The staff are amazing and so helpful, they are making a difference in my sons life.
Our 11 month old loves the infant room! He is a happy camper while at daycare. He is playing with age appropriate toys that help him grow mentally and physically. The activities they do include painting, coloring, reading, listening to music. I truly feel that he is so well taken care of - it’s such a relief not having to worry about him while I’m at work.
availability of times, kindness of everyone
welcoming atmosphere.
Friendly staff
Great staff - Clean facilities.
Love Zumba classes and especially Alena!
great coaches and staff who are skilled at helping people get better. the pool is the big draw for me
Most recent great thing about the Ipswich YMCA was regarding my grandson's private swim lessons. Kathie Woods' fast efforts in scheduling and enrolling my grandson's first four lessons and then scheduling a time for the continuation of four more lessons was a great personal customer service to me. Aengus, my grandson's teacher, is phenonemal! Aengus is patient and tolerant and shows amazing wizardry in getting my grandson to improve his skills.
Everyone is extremely friendly, welcoming and just enjoyable to be around. Great classes and equipment!
There are so many activities and programs. The staff are friendly and helpful. My kids love going there every week and you can't beat the safety and cleanliness. I tell everyone about it already. I can't imagine our community without the people and services they provide.
There's something for everyone regardless of your fitness level. Between the class offerings, the pool, the gym, and the fitness floor with many equipment options, one can find something to try. Instructors and trainers are so supportive and welcoming as well as the front desk each time I come in the morning. Community support is also great to see whether the food drives, giving tree, housing, camperships, and so much more.
The staff the helped set my fiancé and I up for our membership were so helpful, resourceful and knowledgeable. I am excited for us to restart out fitness journey within a nurturing and community forward organization. Keep up the good work! I can’t tell people enough good things about all the things you have to offer.
