Member Testimonials
The Y is the best. They make you feel welcome and are always ready to lend a hand or answer any questions I may have. The YMCA gives me a sense of belonging. As a senior citizen, it's nice to go to a place where I feel I belong.
your staff at the front desk and in the weight room are wonderful. The weight room (gym) has staff that really know their myscle systems. I have learned so much from Jamont and others. He knows muscle systems and I am working on upper body strength.
Our kids love their swim lessons and coach Nancy is the BEST! They've made such great progress with her over the past two seasons and we couldn't be happier.
I have been able to try out a variety of classes with multiple instructors and am pleased with the quality of the classes. Beth Schultz Strictly Strength class is amazing because of her individual instruction and attention to correct form. I also enjoy Gina Grinarml's pilates classes for the same reasons. She wants to be sure we are all getting the most from the classes by doing the exercises correctly. I recently attended Lyralen's Sunday restorative class and will be adding it to my schedule as it is a positive way to start off my week.
Everything!
Good folks. Excellent trainer.
Ms Jacky is the best!
I like access to a pool year round, and access to so many locations.
The MINDBODY studio and instructors are great.
I love the steam room and sauna.
Even though LvO is my primary Y, I come to Salem once a week because of the above.
I love Lisa’s Barre Fusion class, hope they add another day with her as the instructor. I also like the exercise and weight machines. Also enjoy Jen’s Strength Balance and Core.
So many classes, amazing teachers and staff, clean and welcoming facilities. Convenience of any Y!
It’s a well priced nation wide resource
Affordability
Reliability
Our experience has been awesome! My baby is happy and engaged all day and the teachers are all great.
The environment, being able to have access to the gym, pool, outdoor area and mind&body.
Convenient, clean, friendly staff, great classes, large fitness room.
One recommendation would be to add a special weight room for women - it is intimidating to use the weight machines when it is crowded with men and teenage boys
the teachers!
Our son enjoys swimming on Fridays. Our son's teacher's do a fantastic job building there skills to have them all kindergarten ready.
Beth Schultz's rowing class on Saturday mornings is one of the best classes offered. It is in such demand, that in order to get a spot, I have to set an alarm each week and be ready to sign up within minutes when it opens or I will not get a spot. Is it possible to get more rowers or give her a bigger classroom so she can accommodate more people?
Instructors are friendly and knowledgeable leading their classes.
Great facility, teachers are so much fun (Beth Schultz) and experienced.
I love the Salem Y. I would have given it a 10 but you have to pay for parking and sometimes it can be difficult to find parking spots in the evening.
The people - members and staff - make an excellent community to engage with.
The kids club makes it so my wife and I can actually go to the gym. Without it, There’s really no way she could attend any of the ymca classes she goes to or I to do some quick laps in the pool.
Helpful employees
Not over crowded
