Member Testimonials
everyone is so kind and helpful. facilities are clean and well maintained. my only feedback is i wish the hydrofit classes were a full hour instead of 45mins!
I enjoy the facility
It' is a very welcoming place.
Good equipment, sensible rules for use, and good classes.
Amazing
The staff and facilities are all great and I feel it is important to support the programs for young people. I have been going for some 20 years and feel like family.
Good people, good facilities, great location. I would like to propose a "fitness room only" rate. All I do is go in, work out and leave. Sometimes wonder why I pay 6x a planet fitness membership for the exact same services.
There is always a great time with the Y! Sarianne and the crew do amazing things with my kods every day! 500 stars!
Kudos to your maintenance man…every time I visit I see him cleaning, moping etc. and the locker room is spotless and as in all the Y’s I’ve been to the is always pleasant and greeting. Again, kudos to Irene & Oscar for their help in familiarizing me to the Salem Y. You guys are all GREAT!
They’re a very supportive team of people and they make it easy. Theirs people that I can relate to so now I know I’m not the only one
I met an old friend Sunday at the Salem YMCA that I have known since the fourth grade. I asked him JD if he ever goes to Marblehead Y and he said I have everything I need here at the Salem Y. I came for a steam and shower it was great. So reliable to have an asset like that that I don't take for granted. It's expensive to run a maintain and I am greatful to be a member.
Thank you for the opportunity to send my gratitude.

I absolutely love that Salem YMCA childcare offers weekly Swim classes, daily outdoor playground or mind and body studio playtime depending on the weather, and also lots of arts and craft. Very friendly and polite staff that care a lot for all the kids. All the kids are treated with respect by staff members who apart from respectful are also funny and warm and lively.

Friendly
The facilities, classes, and community make the Y an incredibly valuable investment.
You are the only one that has a sauna and a steam. Please keep them running, and clean. Thank you.
Good machines. Sani wipes better idea than bottle & paper towels.
I for the most part only use the gym with Beth PT. She is extraordinary in her kindness and knowledge. I have learned that Willow is a go to person, very friendly and a good resource.
I love the rowing and strength class and the Pickleball class was Jean was excellent. However, you need to add more rowers to the rowing class. It was closed out in under a minute this week and last week. It is truly a gamble, worse than trying to get my kid into summer camps or aftercare.
Lots of good classes
Recently my child came home and said he did his homework! I think that is a great use of time and enjoy the progress with this.
I love the Salem Y for how inclusive, safe, and family oriented the facilities are.
I like how the program has different topics each week the children learn about.
My daughter is very active and has made so many new friends. The teachers are very hands on and involved
Both of my, now adult, children and my grandchild have or are currently enrolled in or attended the Salem YMCA daycare program. From infant & preschool to after school & summer camp over the past 30 years the Y g has provided & is providing wonderful care to all three of them. I have never had reason to complain. Not sure what else I can say other than keep up the good work!
Staff is very professional and I am a swimmer and the pool is always clean.
The people and community are very welcoming.
The staff is wonderful, I always recommend Salem Y!
I love the classes and the workout space. Plus, it’s very convenient to my home.
I felt comfortable and welcomed, great energy. I loved the studios. Thanks for having such a quality workout environment
All the teaching and administrative staff are so supportive and truly amazing. All three of my children are thriving and very happy with the school and after care programs.

Very helpful
