Member Testimonials
. My daughter and I have been looking for a pool with some open lanes.
It was great to see 3 open lanes on Sunday morning. We are hoping that this continues.
The employees were very helpful as were the members.
Great coaches! We had a great time.
I receive this feedback request way too frequently!
Love the aquatic classes with Gus and Mari
Excellent service, its staff is trained in several languages, they are always willing to help with any questions.
The Salem Y is a wonderful organization. Most everyone who works at the Y is friendly and helpful. And the programs and facilities are very accessible.
Easy to go in and out, friendly staff. Always clean
Good facility, great people, varied class schedules, easy to get to…
Miss Nancy is a great toddler swim teacher. It's exciting to see my toddler learn to swim and be challenged every week!
I love water aerobics with Jacquie, she is the best and really the only reason why I go to the salem y. I’ve also enrolled my daughter in her swim class as well. Jacquie is such a treasure and the salem Y is better for having her.
The instructors.
The Afterschool program is such a big help for my family with our work schedule. I love that they even offer care on days where there is no school and vacations. Such a big help instead of trying to figure out who can watch my child so we can work. And the cost is very affordable as well
The daycare teachers
It's great value for a family, especially with young kids. We now pay less money for 3 weekly swim classes (including 2 kids under 3 years old) since joining as members, plus we get the additional benefits of drop-in classes and Kids' Corner.
Just yesterday I recommended to a friend who's an individual member that he upgrade to family membership so he and his wife can work out together.
The babysitting club. It has been an incredible experience. The staff has been wonderful and I always feel comfortable leaving my child with them. He has a great time and I have the opportunity to take time for myself, which I would not have without this service.
Very good faciities
We liked the arts and crafts, especially the hand and footprint art for the little ones. The teachers are very caring and wonderful. We appreciate them teaching a lot of songs and how to get along with friends.

I think Gina G. does such a great job and is the reason I keep coming regularly. She makes exercising fun and I am grateful. I also like supporting the Ymca.
I can only speak to the Salem YMCA and the workout room. It is super clean, which is very important to me. The staff is friendly and helpful. I look forward to my workouts every day.

The Y is the best, and the Salem Y is an incredibly well-preserved historic building! I feel fortunate to have it so close to my home!
