Member Testimonials
It was my first visit as I was in the neighborhood and was greeted with open arms by two staff members, whom I sadly forget their names. My age is kicking in. I was given a tour of the facility and was very pleased. Thank you to the staff members that were so friendly and inviting.
The Salem Y is well maintained. Staffs are very friendly.
The Salem Y is a great community resource and does a lot of good for families in need. I feel good to be a member of this Y. I have enjoyed playing pickleball here once or twice a week all winter. The building is old and the space is an odd mix of nooks and crannies, and so the creativity of the staff has been critical to the efficient use of the space overall. One of the best things about this Y is that it is smack in the middle of downtown Salem, which means many people, including myself, can go there without using a car.
Very good facilities
I always recommend water aerobics classes. Yoga as well
The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. I love Beth Schultz's classes and have recommended them. The facility is always clean and there are many machines and classes to choose from.
