The Y has some exciting new classes to try with new instructors.
Looking forward to the new salt room with hope it will help my arthritic condition
Good to have Y available w/in walking distance but Pool area needs a make over. Funds went into Beverly Y pool & Salem should be next…including locker rooms. Glad we can choose classes in surrounding towns that have easy free parking. Offers flexibility in classes. Friendly staff

I think the Y suits my personal needs and would recommend it to someone who is looking for something similar. I like to have a variety of facilities like the pool, weight floor, sauna, and classes. I also like the sense of community and the fun activities like swim challenges, 5ks, and the derby mile. I wish we had more machines at the Salem Y (I go to flash fitness with a friend and like their variety so if someone who primarily wants to weight lift asks I wouldn’t recommend it). I recently tried the Marblehead location and liked their green space and machine variety better but still like flash better for a full body day. I also liked their pool a lot better. I find the Salem pool to be very closed off and appreciated getting to be in the sun in the middle of winter. I like the Forest River pool a lot in the summer but it’s not cleaned very well and is a bit gross for lap swimming and the hours for lap swimming are difficult for people who work as well so I go there for recreation more often.
Because the Y has everything that I need in a Gym. Afordable trainers, sauna, big pool for my son, and always a very welcoming person at the front desk.
Good teachers
All gym facilities are readily available. Staff is very helpful. Classes are great.
