Member Testimonials
Love Eme's Pilates class so much!
Appreciate that it's big and not too crowded, that it's clean, and that it has a laid back community atmosphere.
Only wishes:
- I wish there was more room for stretching, calisthenics, etc in the cardio room
- I wish there was more room for Eme's pilates class, which gets quite full and each individual takes a lot of room because we need to be able to swing our legs in both directions.
- I wish there was more equipment in the smaller studio downstairs (the first one, not the one at the back of the building). Eme's pilates class often runs out of yellow resistance bands for stretching and we don't have any foam rollers. If we had ~15 of those we could do a foam roller cooldown, which Eme says is part of the how she runs the pilates class at other gyms.
Because of the variety of gym equipment you can use and the pool that you have access to in good community rooms
I recommend this place since it provides great service in many aspects, in addition to the kindness of the people who work there and the environment is great.
Love love the Salem YMCA the staff are fantastic and I love my classes
Good service
Clean and friendly helpful staff. I enjoy the Tanyia Zumba classes. A wide range of equipment selections. Like that I can put memberahip on hold while away in the summer.
We love the Y's commitment to the entire age spectrum, and to its dedication as a community organization. Keep up the Great Work!!
I like that the classes are small, there is only 1 class at a time and the kids are actually swimming. We have done classes at other YMCAs and they are done as well as Salem. My daughter is really advancing her swimming skills.
Ms. Jacquie is wonderful!

Nice, quiet friendly Y. Love the pool. I've never had to share a lane, the locker room is clean and quiet.
New Equipment, robust class schedule and offerings, friendly front desk staff.
Because it has the weightlifting equipment I need.
I love the Salem YMCA - it is just the right size; staff is great and knowledgeable. Love my small group training with Rick.
All swimmers can learn and grow in as athletes and have fun with the team while doing so. The coaches work with swimmers to grow their skills every practice. My daughter went from not swimming competitively at all to being able to compete and win in multiple races after only a few months.
Instructors are great! They interact with each child and work on skills individually to increase ability and confidence.
I like the small class size.
I like the way it is, the initiation to the water ect.
The swimming instructor is very professional.
Because working out there is friendly and fun.
The theater program has done wonders for my daughter. They accept her for all her strengths and weaknesses. They always find a way to positively frame her personality and energy levels. They lead with creativity and grace.

Community, class offerings
I go to the Salem Y daily and often twice a day, including spin class about three times a week and three yoga classes a week. Otherwise I use the fitness center and occasionally the pool. Instructors are excellent; they all make sure participants are getting the most out of the classes, especially new participants.
