Member Testimonials
The teacher is attentive and calm; the kids are allowed to stretch their comfort level as a reward (essentially), but not pushed to try skills they are afraid of. Their confidence level is built FIRST. Plus, the ability to go into the play area of the pool after lesson allows them to then practice what they’re learning. We LOVE that membership at the Y allows for pool time all week (as desired) rather than ONLY adoring the lesson. Thumbs-up!
How caring and patient staff is!
My son has fun doing arts and crafts after school.
great people and my child enjoys her time there.
Lots of activities and kind staff. Good staff to child ratio.
Qualified trainers, variety of times for classes and facilities!
The staff is wonderful. It’s a safe place I can send my child where they can spend time with their friends and do some really amazing activities
Everything actually. The staff are special in how they work with members in a polite and kind manner, it makes me feel good about returning.
There is such a good range of activities, something for everyone.
I utilise the wellness center, workout classes and both pools. The variety keeps working out fresh, no feeling of exercise being redundant.
The Salem YMCA feels like family ❤️
Strong water aerobics program with many great instructors
I like having yoga swim options on nights and weekends
Amy and the staff are very friendly towards family and the kids that attend the Y programs. I am very apprecitive for their kindness and support when I needed help with anything associated with the programs.
I love the group classes and the other options for getting a good workout. The 24 hour option is a great idea.
Virtual classes make it much easier to find a class
Really enjoy the master's swim courses on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It's a friendly group and Coach Mallary is great. Also appreciate the clean locker rooms and 24/7 weight room access.
Thank you for refraining from putting Fox News on the TVs in the Fitness Center. It seems to be a recent change of policy, a very welcome change.
Friendly leaders and variety of options for fitness.
Everyone is really friendly. I just use the lap pool and sometimes the family pool at this point
but will make a wellness appointment to learn about all of the fitness equipment.

Friendly staff, clean facilities
I enjoy the early morning classes, and the accessibility to the pool and the wellness center. My kids appreciate the teen center and the kids area, and we LOVE y-town. I also appreciate the variety of community programming that is available.

I love being able to swim and that there are options for my daughter to join the swim team. We’re so excited to be back at the Y!
I like that everything is available there. I take advantage of the exercise classes, the weight room, and the pool. Also the sauna in the men's locker room. The fact that you're open late works with my schedule.
