Member Testimonials
Trainer Beth is awesome. Knowledge of physiology, humor, challenging workouts and acceptance of all ages and individuality make the workouts inclusive.
I love the staff. Facility is very clean.
I joined the Y six months ago. This is my first fitness center experience. I have always been active but after two years of caring for my elderly mother, I realized the importance of strength training and stress releasing. The staff has been super nice and helpful and the facility to my amazement is always spotlessly clean! (I am somewhat of a germaphobe)
My trainer, Beth has been wonderful! She really understands the body of an older woman and has been tremendously helpful! I can really see the progress I have made with her.
I wish I had not waited so long to join!
Convenient, clean
Great facility! Clean and very well-maintained with friendly and helpful staff.
I use the pool at the Y, exclusively, both in Salem and Marblehead. I love that there are aqua aerobics classes but wish there were more scheduled during the course of the day. I've been doing water workouts for 30+ years now, so the classes offered on Mon, Wed and Fri early mornings in Salem are not really challenging for me. I understand that there is a need for the less challenging workouts and that is fine - it's just not for me. So I started going to the Salem pool on my own and do my aqua workout solo.
A neighbor, and fellow Y member, alerted me to a certain instructor in Marblehead, Gus Malaab, who teachers a more strenuous workout. I think you would greatly improve attendance if Gus taught a few aqua aerobics classes at the Salem pool! I do not like to see the pool so under-utilized during the day, but perhaps this has been tried before and not been successful?
Just my opinion.
Clean, friendly, good equipment and environment.
Great facilities and great group classes with many to choose from

Beth who teaches rowing is fantastic! Also Tonya who teaches Zumba in Marblehead is amazing!
It is a great place to work out, with lots of services and a real sense of community. I have been using it several times a day since I joined and look forward to take more advantage of other classes and locations. They were very helpful when I took the tour and keep me updated on events and programs.
It's a great place to stay healthy with lots of nice people.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. It makes going there a pleasant experience.
The salem Y is a wonderful facility. I use the gym and the pool, both are clean and when I go in the am it's not crowded. I like that all know my name and greet me when I enter the building. Last, it is very clean, Ramona does an amazing job of keeping the building clean even when members don't pick up after themselves. I would and have recomended the salem Y many times.
Can you start racking the straight barbell set differently. I think it should have the lower weights on top, so it would be 20 and 30 on top, then 30 and 40, 50 and 60 and so on. Having the 70 pound weight at the very top makes it difficult to place back after using it. Besides that, everything is awesome!
Thanks
Because the people working there are wonderful. And I have made so many friends, it is a pleasure going and seeing them
Our daughter is enjoying the program. Has great things to share and loves the staff!
