Member Testimonials
The after school activities are well balanced, active and educational. The mix of art and sports activities offers something for all kids to enjoy.
The staff is attentive and supportive, fun and engaging. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at the Y.
Thank you!
I dont use the gym that much anymore although I used to. I love the mat pilates classes. I wish there were more classes offered to accommodate a typical work schedule at the salem location. If there was a 6am or 630am pilates class, I would be there daily. Its the main reason more of my friends dont join, due to the lack of pre-work classes.
Love the teachers. We have Ollie and Julia now, but have had others and they are all great. They work well with my daughter who doesn’t always listen but LOVES swim class and is always so excited to go.
We love Ms. Julia and Ms. Emily! They are excellent teachers- great mix of patience, energy, expertise!
I like how they go to the playground and run around alot. There are also alternative activities if my son doesn't want to go to the playground.
good gmy
My daughter has done multiple programs at and through the YMCA and absolutely loves it, the staff is amazing!
Good facilities
Clean environment and a good selection of group classes.
Exercise and community
Clean, plenty of machines to exercise. Plenty of space. Lots of options.
There is a family feel to this YMCA. At the same time, there is a feeling of many cultures coming together, being recognized together and respected. This seems to be a rare commodity in our world today. I mostly come to the Y these days for Pilates class with Gina. There is a small group of us that are” regulars” and we have become our own little community.
The size of this YMCA makes it feel welcoming and not overwhelming. Other nearby YMCA seem to be reaching towards a different population. They sometimes feel a little too polished for me. The machines in the gym in Salem might not be the newest, or state of the art, I don’t mind, as long as I can use them when I show up on occasion, they still help to keep me in better shape. If I would only use them more often, I would be even in better shape.😅

I love the amenities and the Christian values.
I like that the Y offers a variety of classes and programs for many groups, including families. I like that they try new programs and are creative/innovate with the spaces and offerings. Shout out to the friendly staff and great instructors.

I love the small local feel along with the diversity
steam and sauna are absolutelt awesome
great staff Friendly people working out Negative:not enough ewuipment
It is what I want.
The Salem YMCA, for me, is a place to get a workout, sometimes in the pool, sometimes in the studio, sometimes on the exercise/gym floor. The equipment is up to date, the staff members are helpful and friendly, and I rarely have to wait for a lane to open up or for a piece of exercise equipment to be available. Adding to the good offerings are the sauna and steam room.
Been going all my life. Beth is a great teacher. Love the rowing class.
Convenient location and great instructors
I love the pool. It's always warm and rarely crowded. That's all I use it for but it's great that way.
It is the community feeling within my Y that gives me a sense of belonging and that I matter.
Building, equipment, classes & staff
I love the Salem Y! I love that you ask for feedback and you really listen!
There is truly something for everyone here! I was delighted to find the cold plunge had been added. As soon as I find a bathing suit, I’m going to take the plunge!
