Great staff, increasing number of yoga classes, good workout space.
Swim lessons. It’s important to have access to swim team in my community bc as a working single parent I could drive to Beverly
it rocks-although still missing belly dancing and other classes
the staff is great
The coaches are great
I really enjoy the warm and welcoming front desk and fitness room staff. In the fitness room I enjoy learning a new piece of equipment each visit. I am now using the rowing machine and will take Spin and pickelball. The draw for me is my love for the" the sled" the leg lift machine. A drawback is the parking but eventually I would like to try and walk from my house to the Y. I will also visit the Beverly Y and explire if any of their programs would be a good match for me.
everyone is very nice. The gym is my favorite. I am disabled, but with staff help I use a number of the machines. So works very well for my life.
Friendly, helpful staff, great teachers, loads of classes.
I like the giving Christmas tree.
The instructor is awesome, keeps my kids engaged, challenges them. He's wonderful.
Friendly,clean and great programs
It's an awesome place to visit and the staff is very courteous and super friendly and helpful
I like everything, though I don’t love snacks vs. dinner. I truly understand why. Don’t like encouraging snacking vs. meals. Not complaining simply a comment.
I love the variety of activities they do in a day.
I like that they have creative play, nap time and learn basic skills to get them ready for kindergarten. I also like that they have multiple places they can release their active energy in yoga, gym and outdoor play when the weather is nice.
The staff is great as well and all of these wonderful activities are because of the staff. I feel safe leaving my lovey with them.
Love the water programs
I love the pool and the classes offered. Everyone is friendly and approachable.
The Salem Y is not only a great place to work out, it is also a great place to make new friends and meet up with people...not only to work out, but maybe later to go out for coffee, or make plans to meet for a movie or a concert. It's become my social circle!
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean facility, and convenient scheduling
I love that you can go to multiple locations, instructors are great especially Gina (Pilates/Barre) in Salem..facilities are clean and convenient.
Large fully equipped gym kept spotlessly clean. Never crowded.
Friendly convenient
I love it, it’s awesome and so is the staff.
Your staff are tremendous. Always a respectful greeting whether coming or going. The staff up at the gym with equipment are beyond wonderful and one outstanding staff member is Mars or Marz; but ALL are wonderful and members also. Salem is the happiest YMCA I have ever been to. I grew up going to Wakefield YMCA; it was enjoyable but this Y is unique.
Improves every year
The Y is a great organization with many ways to get active and to get engaged with the community.
Swim instructor Marena is great with our 5 year old swim student. She's patient and enthusiastic, always encouraging him and pushing him to try new things and have fun in the water.
Great people, great programs, great deal!
Staff so nice and facility clean
My daughter loves being apart of the shark fins team. The coaches are great with educating and having fun with the kids
I felt welcomed, the staff is friendly and there is a variety of classes to choose. The row and conditioning class I’ve been taking with Beth is awesome. I also appreciate Mary’s responsiveness on addressing a request I had.
