Member Testimonials
I enjoy the physical and social aspects of the Y I’m trying to stay active and the Salem Y helps me do that I use the fitness room and go to classes.
Good mission, good people and very helpful
Getting kids to feel comfortable. Good technical skills and focus on both safety and fun.
The facilities and staff are top notch!
The YMCA at Bates Elementary school in Salem has been so great this year! My son doesn’t want to come home some days because he is having so much fun. They have made many improvements from last year that are really making an impact. Kids are getting outside to play a lot and there are a lot of well planned activities and crafts for them to do indoors after school.
Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The dressing room is clean. The classes are grand.
Lots of times available. Lessons are run pretty efficiently. Small class sizes. Miss Nancy is knowledgeable and great at helping kids build confidence in the water.
The WHES Y Afterschool program is phenomenal. The kids always want to stay later when I go to pick them up. They have so many choices for the kids and allow them to choose what they want to do. The staff could not be kinder or more helpful. Everything from sign up, to pick up, to any questions or issues, they are top notch. Thank you all for all you do!!
Fun times for our daughter!
All staff I’ve met have been great, and my grandson really enjoys his time at the program every day.
I love our swim instructor. Every session she makes
Sure she gives each child individual attention. She makes sure each child’s needs are being addressed. Ms Nancy always has a smile on her face and a welcoming warm environment. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better swim instructor for my son.
The swim classes have been everything my son has needed and the instructor is fantastic. After many trails and error this has been the only time we have had even a inclination of success. I would recommend 100%.
We used to take swim lessons at Goldfish but I like the swim lessons at the YMCA better! My water-timid son gets a lot more attention and actual swim time at the Y. Ms. Nancy has been a great teacher for my son.
Avery has loved her experience at YMCA after school and kids club at LVO!
It is a very beautiful place to enjoy with the family with the different. Spaces that you can enjoy
good selection of classes
the people who work at the salem ymca are hospitable friendly and warm. they make the visits extra ordinary
The Salem Y is a great city fitness center that excels at building community and helping you meet your goals. They have great classes and knowledgeable fitness instructors. The small group training is wonderful. The pool and lifeguards are always alert and friendly to members. The front desk staff is consistently welcoming when I arrive and they say goodbye when I leave. The executive staff is always quick to respond to questions and suggestions.
Great facilities for my needs... Ample free weight and multiple squat racks... Good pool... Friendly staff. Only real concern is age and state of men's locker room facilities.
Staff is friendly and reliable, activities are creative, my kid loves it.
Safe, fun, and secure on-campus care for my child. Staff is wonderful. Very pleased. We're thinking of having our daughter go to the downtown facility for more options.
We love the sense of community at the Y
Good resource for the community
I love the Y! Brought my mother as a guest for an aquafit class and we both enjoyed it. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Locker room was very clean. Overall a great experience. Can't wait to come back (although I may use the Marblehead Y during October, when Salem is crazy). Thanks!
Dunno but my kid seems happy
I like every thing about it . The part I'm most happy about it's seeing the happiness on my daughter's face and how exciting she talk about the program really love it and recommend for every one.
I love them and my girls feel happy and safe. The activities are excellent.
Me encanta 🥰
Enjoy classes and pool. gym. People are polite and friendly
The Salem YMCA promotes community and recognizes the need for people to be healthy in mind, body, and spirit.
This sense of community and recognition of individuals with social, physical, and emotional needs is the reason I love Pauline's water aerobics classes. I have taken many different classes but Pauline's are the best! The people in the class support each other and the Salem community as a whole. You will find the class members asking about each other if there is an absent member, bringing food to each other, supporting festivals, the Samaritans events, and furthering the goals of the Y in many different ways.
