Member Testimonials
Friendly and clean
The convenience, the fact that it's a familiar organization...
I like the coaches, I like that the water isn't as cold as Beverly... I like that we feel sort of at home there now... I like that the swim team is not "high pressure".
I am a huge fan of Eme's pilates classes. It is so helpful that these classes are outside of work hours (6:30pm on Monday and Thursday nights, and 8:15am on Saturdays). I wish there were more pilates and/or barre classes offered outside of work hours - I would love to go more than three times a week! And the classes are always fully booked, so there seems to be lots of interest from other folks, too!
Thanks for everything you all do at the Y.
My kid love to be in the kids club and swimming pool a lot.
They are held at the same site that my child goes to school; my child gets extended play time with schoolmates
Good equipment and nice facilities
The sense of community. All the different program options for all ages from babies to adults there is something for everyone
Staff are helpful, location is great, kids club is a life saver (would love if it was open more hours)
The Y is clean, convenient and has many fitness options. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Love the classes! Staff is pleasant. App is user friendly enough. Equipment is new, never insanely crowded.
Very clean and friendly place.
My son absolutely loves his swimming classes. I know there was a staffing issue at one point, but the instructors were so great, my child didn't even notice and continued to enjoy himself and to improve.
It helps that he feels so comfortable at the Salem YMCA, and that's due to the amazing Kids Club where he's been able to build trust and a sense of safety while forming wonderful relationships with the staff and other children.
Front desk staff is great.
Staff in gym are nice
Need to keep people off their phones on machines tho
The staff, safety and mix of activities made available to my kindergarten student.
great instructors
Very friendly atmosphere and members.
There is something for everyone here at the Salem Y. It is immaculately clean, unlike other fitness centers. The equipment in the fitness center is well maintained and super clean! The staff are all helpful and friendly.
It's the people! I hear this from everyone; the building, and its maintenance, may not be the best, but the people (members, staff, instructors) are. It's a pleasure to belong to the Salem Y.
I recommend it for the excellent, affectionate nature of each of the teachers, the secretary and her director, especially Miss Jade, she is very special and super sweet.
Great facility, nice people and good classes!
The Y consistently maintains a truly professional and courteous staff. Working out is a little easier when there is always someone ready to assist or answer any question one might have. Thanks, Y staff. Keep up the good work.
It’s clean and everyone is friendly.
There is a wonderful variety of yoga classes including reiki and sound healing!
I like the Salem Y because it is in walking distance and the pool is rarely "crowded". I only use the pool and it is almost always a comfortable temperature to swim in. The locker room is clean and there are plenty of available lockers.
It is so convenient and everyone is very friendly
The staff and diversity of activities
It's good.
There’s so many activities and 90 percent of the time it’s not crowded. The Salem Y is clean and the employees do make you feel comfortable and welcomed.
The instructor, Ms. Jacqueline, is wonderful. There is a great balance of time with the instructor and time for the parents/caregivers to interact with the infants by themselves.
