Member Testimonials
The location is perfect, the facilities and offerings are fine...but the best part is the people - staff and members!
All of the training staff are willing to answer any questions and help in any way they can. All of the YMCA staff are professional and always go the extra mile for their members. It's easy to always feel welcome with a team on your side like that!
The staff are friendly and welcoming. The group exercise classes are great. My instructor is very knowledgeable and motivating. I feel I am improving in my fitness. The Salem facilities are also well maintained. The staff makes an effort to update equipment periodically.
The new fitness equipment is a huge upgrade. The gym has a nice, friendly vibe to it as well. Only challenge to ‘easy access’ isn’t in control of the Y and that’s the parking. Hit or miss depending on time of day/day of week. All in all though, a nice, friendly gym.
The improvements are notable . Especially the very functional stretch room . The aerobic machines there don’t get much use . Especially if those rowing machines were wheeled outdoors ,on dry days , I would not be surprised if you found members who now may prefer aerobic outdoor use a plus option, in our new normal times that we are living . There is fenced in room for two at the children’s outdoor play area, ( gate area) at the entrance that would not interfere with those activities, located the opposite the gate. A summer trial may attract some regulars. As a senior I’m not enthusiastic about maskless indoor aerobic activities.
I love the Y.
I don't go as often as I'd like but I think the Salem Y is the best
The staff are great. They go above and beyond for the kids. I never worry about my children because I know they are in such good hands.

i don't want to see CNN on the TV
u get my money because you are close by
WHY is it that CNN is always on
WHY is FOX never on
WHO chooses always to put on CNN
hello?
i love living in a one sided state that watches one sided news and it is a great reminder when I come into the Y and see CNN on. lets all think one-sided and promote that to young kids, teens, youth and above. Let's not 'think differently like John Lennon' and rather lets all think the same way - that will really expand our minds eh?
Politics should stay out of 'Family'
Please keep CNN OFF or if you want CNN ON then turn ON FOX to make it fair. you're just further indoctrinating our youth w/ massive propaganda. you have enuff channels put up sports and entertainment - i don't want the GYM to remind me off politics. I see enuff politics every day I don't want to see it at the OSCAR's and I DON't WANT cnn on at the gym. PERIOD. Keep politics off the family dinner table. THANKS
Again, WHY is CNN ALWAYS ON and FOX is NEVER on. WTF
VIBE performance plays have awesome for my child! Staff in this program are amazing.
The teachers are kind and nurturing. The activities are engaging and hands on. My daughter is very happy every day. We love the classroom centers for play.
All
I've already answered this. Since I'm at the Y at least 2-3 times a week, it would be good if I didn't get this feedback request so often. To reiterate, I enjoy the pool at the Y because it is clean, warm and I've never had to share a lane (so not too busy when I'm there.) The pool staff is friendly and welcoming. The locker room is clean (Ramona (name?) is constantly cleaning) and is also never crowded. The proximity to my home is great so I can walk to the Y which tops off my good feeling for it.
Environment
I like the flexibility of the program for child care coverage and ease of being at his school. I'm also grateful that he enjoys going.
Best place
5 days a week I take water aerobics, wether shallow with Pauline, or deep water with Lori, or LaSplash, and the instructors are amazing, and the members are amazing too. It’s become like a family, a group of true friends, that if I happen to miss a class, I’ll get a text to check up on me, making sure all is ok. Now that’s a good group of people there. And the life guards are like family too, they know you by name, you’re greeted with a warm hello and goodbye, and sincere friendliness.
The pool, wether doing laps or taking a class is outstanding, best part of the Y!
The yoga classes and instructor are great and included in membership. The pool is beautiful and there are many hours available for lap swim per week.
