friendly staff. great programs
Always the place is spotless & the machines are so clean to work out on…
My kids enjoy both the summer camp and the afterschool program at their school. The staff have all been wonderful. During the summer my car broke down and we went without a vehicle for about 7 weeks which was almost the entire summer and the Y was able to accommodate me and adjust so my kids could have late pick up so my Aunt could get them when she picked up her som after work without being charged (they were on vouchers we received from DMH through our CSA.
So far they all enjoy the afterschool program, my som only wanted to go two days but now wants to add Thursday’s because a preferred staff from the summer only works on Thursdays. They are always happy when we pick them up, showing us art work and telling us what they did
Salem Y is amazing. Staff are top tier and are great supports for my kids.

I like that my son can be hands on, with arts n crafts, building with legos, he stays busy and he loves going to after school.
The staff is amazing with him to. They help teach him about sharing, and being responsible. The after school program is the best and my son loves it so much
Great yoga offerings (we still need Monday and Friday morning classes). Great staff—friendly and knowledgeable. The Mind Body Studio is quite nice. We need better quality blocks; the ones we have are dangerous.
Staff is awesome and the kids are treated very well
My daughter loves it
I have been asking the YMCA of the North Shore to update the locker room facilities for 10 years--and you've done it! Thank you!!! The locker rooms are clean; the floors and showers no longer smell; the steam room is clean and functional. I'm overjoyed! We have maintained our Y membership after we moved to Lifetime for the past few years because we believe in the Y and and we are now seriously considering dropping Lifetime to only use the Salem YMCA.
I have one more request for the Salem location and it has to do with the gym equipment. Right now you only have two power racks/squat racks and one Smith machine. The rack is the most important piece of equipment in any gym and it's always busy at Salem. The average person needs 20m on the machine to complete their workout so it's rare there is an opening. In order for my family to fully move to Salem YMCA, there needs to be more power racks. I would suggest no fewer than five. I propose removing the smith machine, and moving the hand weights to another part of the gym in order to make room for the additional racks all along the wall. They don't need to be new and fancy machines! Maybe another Y is getting rid of theirs?
Thank you for being an excellent resource!
You have a lot to offer.
Love the staff, the locker rooms are clean and easy to use, the gym is also clean and there is always someone to help if you need it.
Nice equipment selection, quaint space
Good environment
I have recently rejoined the Y after many years. Many great improvements have been made to the facilities and the programming.
Friendly staff convenient location.
I’ve had trouble committing to exercising in the past because I can be self conscious and get gym anxiety, but every one at the Y has been super nice and helpful I’ve felt comfortable working out since being here.
The Y is great. It has everything ;needed. Group Classes, small personal training, great trainers. You also have a choice of numerous clubs.
Toilet seats are loose again in the men's locker room.
great community center for health and humanity. Terrific employees and nicely updating facilities. Also, love the fact i can attend a Y in other states while traveling.
Great sense of community here. Although the Gym area is a bit smaller than Beverly and Cape Ann, the Salem Y makes a great use of space. A cool, diverse group of people congregate here to exercise which is always great to see. The staff seems very attentive too, which is great. Very clean.
I take part in aqua robotics. It is one of the best classes the y offers. I am especially thankful for Pauline. She needs a very diverse group of people in an especially even way. I know some complain about music, talking even the intensity of the workout. But she pulls it off wonderfully, always with a smile. Talking about is fine..it is also a social gathering for some elderly with no other social connections. This is important for the health and well being of all. Pauline is a gem and I fear the day she retires, as she can't be replaced easily.
The facilities are very nice and well maintained
Friendly staff, reliable, my kids (Analise and taigh)
