Member Testimonials
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.

I am a new member and have just started attending. I have to say I find the experience so welcoming with friendly and helpful staff. The facility is clean and with everything needed.
So far so great!
People are very welcoming.
Love the steam room and sauna!
I like using the Exercise Room (gym).
For the most part it's a good wholesome community YMCA. unlike all the other Ys, the salem Y concentrates more on the unique quality of the salem community than a sports club.
I am able to swim in a lane myself with individual instruction that is very specific & helpful.
I was really impressed by the cleanliness , kind staff and seems to be a variety of classes to choose from . I also like the fact that you can use the different locations.

A bazillion activities, classes led by excellent instructors

Good 💯
It's a great place!
there are so many programs that are staffed with personnel trained to lead and advise.
The equipment is both new and oled

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.
