The Y has great instructors, and the facility is fully equipped and very clean.

Good clean facility. Lots of classes .

I don’t like the fact that no drop off area for the elderly or kids . Bad design that should be fixed

I'm having a great experience with personal training. My trainer, Jeff Hunt is very knowledgeable and I am getting great results.

This camp was amazing for my 5yr old.
Can't wait for next year.

Stuff is very caring,a lot of activities, kids are busy all day

Good morning. I give thanks for the Y pools each time I swim there. My only wish is that there would be an Adult Only swim time in the small pool a few times during the week for an hour or so. Other Y’s and pools have that access for adults only. It would make a difference for many adults who are using water to regain strength from knee replacements, strokes and the like.

My son just finished his first week at Children's Island Camp. He had the best time. We live in Park City, UT but I grew up in Salem and attended Children's Island camp as a kid. We came back east for a week to visit my parents and I love that he got to see a new type of camp. What is better than taking a ferry to an island for the day!!
Ryan, who met the boat in Salem was so professional and welcoming to not only our son but to the parents as well.
Olympia was Oliver's counselor and he said she was great, I didnt get to meet her personally.
He went to all sorts of different camps this summer due to 2 working parents and he said this one was his favorite. We are planning on making this a yearly tradition.

Thank you!!!

I loved sports mania camp this year. All the gym games. The addition of archery and 5 days of swim was awesome!

Wonderful facility. Always clean. Numerous pieces of equipment, many classes with fabulous instructors.

Great hours and equipment. Pool is great, although crowded in summer. I wish the outdoor pool had other lap swim hours as well.

The weight facility is excellent, clean and the staff are friendly and helpful.

I have only one negative observation. Many people occupy machines for far longer than
necessary and most of that time is used by spending time on their cell phones. Gym
etiquette is totally absent and I've never witnessed machine sharing. It's frustrating when
I spend far more time waiting for a machine than I spend working out.

The facility is very clean and spacious. There are ample exercise machines as well as plenty of space for free weights and stretching as well as TRX. There are many fitness classes offered every day. The pool usually has at least several lanes open for lap swimming throughout the day. The gym is open to pickleball at various times during the week. The Ladies locker room is kept clean and the showers are very great. Daria's cafe is awesome! So many healthy choices!

I am very happy with the pool classes offered throughout the week and other classes offered

All the workers are great.

Great place

It is a fantastic facility-- I'm there every day!

Love the wide variety of classes available, however would like to see a few more geared to older adults who have a harder time getting up and down from the floor.
We can often do the exercises, if they would only be cognizant to do all the floor exercises at the same time instead of getting up and down multiple times during a class.

I love my Y!
It is very welcoming space for all ages.
I see only happy faces when I am there.

Handy, clean

People friendly, gym good, pool good

My kids really enjoyed their summer on Children’s Island!

The staff are amazing with the kids, and everyday my kids come home having had a fun and challenging day. Going to CIDC is the highlight of their summer.

Great community, clean space, great variety of machines/classes

The instructor’s are amazing… they all go above and beyond. Rosemary is hilarious she really brings the energy, Abby is so versatile she seemed to fill in so many diff classes all summers. Kristen I took a class last week for the. First time with , she made a point after and before class to introduce herself and to see how I did. Lastly Heather she makes you feel like your in a private session , the attention she gives to all her participants is remarkable.. a friend of mine recently came back to the Y & seeks out classes that Heather teaches only!!

The people are great.. Keith & John. Instructors are excellent.

Just wish all the equipment was fixed properly. Signs. Have bee n up for awhile.

Small pool is good especially when it opens on time.

Love the Y in Marblehead!
