Great community of members. Love the steam & sauna.
Great
It has a lot of gym floor machine available and a good number of classes. It is well-lit and spacious.
The YMCA is a great place to work out, but that is only a small part of the YMCA membership. Even if you are someone who just comes to work out, there is an ubiquitous feeling of community.
As a member, I seek out the classes and programs the Y offers and love the special programs that they'll try
I have been a member of the YMCA in both New York and MA all my life for one reason or another......there's no place like the YMCA especially the local Salem, MA YMCA since it's my local Y.
The Y offers all the amenities and the feeling of community
Friendly, welcoming.
It's a friendly place (starting with the front desk staff)--I feel comfortable there. I find a diverse group of people and feel welcome. The gym doesn't have a competitive vibe. I like my trainer, Thomas.
Great facilities, well organized programs, classes. Look forward to every visit.
Great staff, convenient in the downtown, lots of treadmills
Would love to see a separate women’s weight room with free weights and some machines
