Member Testimonials
It’s a great place…welcoming to all!
Because it’s an awesome local gym. They are involved in the community and offer plenty of classes
It’s a safe learning environment. Instructors are great (Ollie is ours) and we enjoy spending our time there.
I live in Marblehead but I go to the Salem YMCA because the people there are way more friendly, even the cleaning staff know my name. I never have to wait for availability in the gym and I can always get a lane in the pool, and if not there is always someone willing to share.
Facility has a lot of different stuff. It's clean. People are friendly.
The Salem Y is a warm friendly place with a lot of offerings. I don’t like big fancy crowded gyms. This Y is just right, a variety of activities that serve multiple age groups and is small enough not to feel cold. I have found every instructor that I have worked with very informative and positive in their instruction and support.
Staff and class offerings
Facilities programs and staff are all top notch and an excellent value.
They take the kids outside which I think is fantastic for the little ones.
I need to contact membership as I am a member of Workbar and there is a 15% discount
I enjoy going to the Y
Great educators and structure
I participate in aqua fitness classes (special shout out to Pauline's wonderful sessions!). In anticipation of upcoming pool closure in Salem (as well as always looking for new options to fit my schedule), I find the web 'indexing of classes, etc to be lacking for this type of search. A limit to 'pool' shows lap swimming and can't find other 'aqua fitness' (or any other useful term) to bring results. I **know keeping a web site up to date is time drag for someone, but would be useful. Thanks for any pointers (and do let us know the dates for Salem pool work!?)
Friendly staff and nice facilities
Friendly
Me gusta mucho el cuidado y la dedicación que tienen con los niños. Siempre salen contentos, hacen actividades divertidas y educativas, y se nota que los atienden con mucho cariño.

The gym is clean and calm. No reason to complain.
Clean facility with a great variety of classes. The pool is great.
LOVE Pauline's water aerobics class!
I try never to miss it- and so does she!
She works every muscle group and vertebrae and makes sure we stretch appropriately. I always feel great after
I like the Salem Y because it is a small and reasonably quiet Y. I use the pool only, and find it is generally not crowded, the lifeguards are friendly and I never have to share a lane (when I go.) It is also walking distance from my home, which is great.
Amazing place, I’m elimite 10 pounds this year. Thanks YMCA, the best gym ever
I would recommend the Y for multiple reasons. I have listed them below:
1. Very friendly staff
2. Clean facilities
3. LOTS of classes to choose from
4. Multiple locations on the north shore
5. Member are friendly
6. The helpful friendly staff and incredible instructors.
I started my free trial this past Monday June 1st, and after my first class in Gloucester I knew I was signing up. I took a second class - Simply Stretching - on Tuesday in Beverly Sterling and after that I wanted to take the nutrition class but to reserve a spot I needed to be a member. So I called and became a member! I took my fourth class this morning and I am taking the Barre class that now TWO members have told me about on two different occasions so I am looking forward to that. I used to be a member at Title when I lived in New Hampshire, and it just was not going to work for me down here. I live in Salem and travelling to the Beverly location is completely fine by me!
Our family loves everything about the Y! Thank you for your continued hard work and kindness.
Friendly staff, good facility, and the strength equipment is good.

Im the CFO of it.
My happy place..wonderful staff,convenient location
Clean friendly clise
I can only recommend Pauline Harney's MWF 8:30 water aerobics class since this is my only involvement for the almost twelve years, since joining the Salem MA YMCA.
This class has changed my physical well-being significantly. Seth Moulton awarded Pauline community recognition to thank her for having an authentic positive impact in so many lives, over four decades.
