Member Testimonials
Great service for working parents.
My daughter loves the 21C program. She has so much fun learning and the best thing is that she gets to be with her friends! For me the convenience of her being in the same building as her school makes me feel happy that my child is safe.
The instructors are alway with the kids interacting and participating with them.
We have gotten strong support from Y staff and other members
Great people, love my water aerobics classes with Pauline!
The personable yet professional vibe. Love the steam and sauna!
Lots of times available to make the activity work for parents and kids
Great instructors and good communication about the program.
My Child wants to go every day. Great opportunity to socialize and learn from peers and others while releasing energy they've held in during class all day.
Staff are phenomenal. Always over and above. My child has a blast and has grown so much being in the VIBE program.
I enjoy the aqua classes and the people I swim with. Pauline and Lori are great at encouraging everyone no matter the ability of the individuals.

nice fitness room
It’s only been a week but I like that it’s not crowded when I’m there (early in the morning). The staff does a great job of keeping the facility clean and everyone has been friendly and helpful.
The YMCA is all about community. It's more than a gym. You feel when you walk in there that the people care about your well-being and are trying to make a difference in the world. There is empathy and compassion. I remember around Christmas there was a tree set up with the names, ages and gift requests of low-income children. I bought a gift card and a pair of winter boots for two children. The YMCA is a special place and its mission is helping humanity.
Very good and convenient
I love it there. Staff is great. Good facility!
I love the YMCA, I gave it a nine out of ten for the following reasons,The hours are too short on the weekends and most of the electrical plugs do not work in the woman's dressing area.
Because I feel welcome and comfortable, and the staff is very friendly.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff
Staff, open Sundays, and great amenities like the sauna
I like the fact that you've made room for Pickleball. It's only just one court but it's local and walkable for a few of us. I also like that you're keeping the Monday morning Gentle Fitness class, though I wish more people would attend.
I’ve been going to the Salem Y for over 30 years. In the past 5-10 years I do a lot of spin classes, as well as yoga, swimming, and the Fitness Center. The staff and instructors are all very friendly and helpful.
The Salem Y is a truly community organization in the best sense. It provides services through its day care programs, summer camps, after school programs and sports programs to young people from shortly after the cradle through the challenging middle school years and high school years. It offers activities and programs focused on athletics and meta-cognition to the post high school to seniors membership in ever evolving ways to remain relevant in today's world. Keep up the great work!
because it's clean and friendly. instructors are caring and knowledgeable leading the classes
Safe, comfortable space
Great employees, equipment and locker rooms.
Convenient. Good facilities. Friendly staff.
Its cool
The staff is really nice, there is great and modern equipment and lots of options. The yoga studio is in a quite area and is as nice as fancy (more expensive) studios but less pressure. The locker rooms are basic and kind of outdated but has everything you need, including a sauna and steam room that are not too busy. I appreciate that the cleaning staff seems to work so hard and are always ensuring that the showers/locker rooms/facilities are cleaned and safe for use.
