I like this place, always is clean and the service is very good
Our son seems to enjoy going each day!
The variety of classes and the instructors, especially Beth Schultz.She is the reason I go to the Y on a regular basis.
Amazing diversity and availability
It's the only gym I know
Health and you have some really competent staff. Like Jamint and Margaret and Arlene and Paul. I recommend the Salem Y and other Y's about three times a week. I also tell women about the self defense classes like the boxing.
Also you have members who should be monitored.
My kids have a lot of fun and the counselors interact with the kids.
Gina who teaches pilates and does so much at the Y is such an inspiration and keeps me coming back and recommending the Salem y
Friendly welcoming helpful
I work out in the fitness center of the Salem Y every day, and it is always spotlessly clean. The staff is super nice and helpful, The machines are well maintained and updated. It is a very happy place!
Many programs! Friendly atmosphere!
The Y is an active meeting place for the Salem community. In addition to all the classes you can also meet friends, neighbors and colleagues.
I was having an issue with members being on their phones not working out constantly holding up machines and The Y took in my feedback and put signs up saying to be considerate of others that are waiting for the machines. I really appreciated that.
I also love their classes that they offer and it’s nice that there’s such a variety; something for everyone.
Also the staff is always friendly!
The Y is a good value if you take advantage of the services. The instructors are great. There is a wide range of programs.
Salem YMCA is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. That’s all you need in a gym
Friendly staff. Very good equipment. Very much enjoying yoga with Rebecca…challenging but definitely improving my mobility.
I love all the new equipment and the Y is always very clean...
The staff at the front desk and in the exercise gym always acknowledge me and welcome me with a smile and a hello when I enter. Just walking in makes my day better.
I can think of three occasions when I needed assistance from staff and it was given each time promptly, competently, and with such a pleasant helpful attitude.
When I am considering whether or not to exercise today, knowing the welcoming feeling I will get from my people at the Y always pushes me to say 'yes".
For number of years, while still working, I did my workouts at 5:00 AM. Now that I'm retired. I go to the Salem YMCA between 7:00 and 8:00 in the mornings. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, there are more than enough machines, I've made friends with fellow members, and Jim is a terrific morning greeter. My late wife Betsy served on both the Salem and regional boards, and through her, I came recognize how extensive the projects and good works the Y undertakes.
We love how friendly the welcome center staff is. The Salem Y feels like “home”!
The Salem Y has been my “happy place” for years now. It’s so special and unique!
Affordable, dependable
Price is right, facilities are clean, and the facility is sized appropriately to the volume of people. And it's in a good spot.
Diversity, nice staff, not too expensive, availability.
The Salem Y offers classes that interest me. Yoga classes have become so beneficial to my well being and I also use the gym frequently. There are people of all ages and it’s non judgmental. I’m usually there 3x a week.
Good pricing, great fitness floor, friendly staff, and interesting classes :)
Great staff and offerings, especially yoga and meditation classes.
