Member Testimonials
I use the gym. It's clean and I like using the equipment.
Group exercise classes that I attend and the instructors of those classes.
Group X, Pickleball, Pool, Mod-Fit and the Stretch
The water exercises
I like the Aquabilities with Candy and the people in the class. I like the luncheons when you have them too to be with others you can connect with.
Having classes available at different hours throughout the day
I love the availability of open lanes at the pool, which is my sole use at the Y. The scuba group on sundays is pretty overwhelming and distracting though. I wish the water aerobics people in the lap pool would limit their needs to just two lanes since every lane they take is one less for lap swimming. Fridays are the worst for that.
Love group classes
Pros:
Clean well maintained facility
Choices of classes for persons who want that and individual training if desired
Friendly welcoming front desk staff
Equipment replaced generally before it starts to consistently break
Easy parking and good location
Reasonable hours
Cons
Cannot think of any
Suggestions
Please continue indefinitely COVID protocols such as making cleaning bottles and paper towels easily available to members and keeping fans and HVAC operating at all times for max ventilation
Just getting started, but me and the boys are enjoying the cardio so far. Great view while running!
Everything
Consistent
There are many traits about the Salem YMCA that makes it a wonderful experience. The staff is warm and friendly. My special needs son and I love swimming in the warm pool. The changing rooms that include a family/special needs rooms are a big plus. We will also use the larger pool when the warm pool is crowded. I like the indoor walking area, the weight room, and the gym. I highly recommend this facility.
Pool and treadmills and pickle ball
Friendly staff and very clean facility...Thank you !!
Love warm water arthritis class. All the instructors are so good and caring.
Virtual classes are ok. Would be great if I could do remote whenever I wanted. In person class are great!
A lot of variety for the entire family.
Wellness Center staff
Love water aerobics,go as much as can also all staff are really nice as well
Please have more things for kids 12 to 15. They cannot work yet. The basketball courts hours are limited for boys. There need to be more activities like mid-day movies/ internet shorts, 'Just dance' classes, and other preteen and pre-employable kids. I am a middle school teacher with pre-employable kids, and they are groups that need kids with their own interests around.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
I Need a trainer to help me build my knee/leg back hup after surgery
I love the various water aerobics classes. Great instructors and friendly people. I would like to see more Yoga classes.
Really appreciate the 18+ dressing rooms and the family dressing rooms outside the pool. Also love that you offer classes for all age groups and abilities. It really is a non-judgemental atmostphere that is very much appreciated by this 71 year old. Keep up the great work. I am so blessed to have these opportunities available to me.
Great staff and facilities.
Like Johnny and Susan as trainers. They are both very nice and explain water aerobic moves well.
I love the family pool. I love that it’s heated. Also it’s great that the pool is open until 8 pm in case we want to go for an evening swim. I also like that you are open at 5 am as I like to work out using the exercise machines before I go to work. The facility is bright and clean and offers a safe place to exercise. I like that you play Christian music. My grandson also likes your summer camp which is affordable and fun for him.
The people, the instructors, the warm water pool
The Y has been a great place for us. I have rehabbed a total of 4 knee surgeries there and the staff is always pleasant and helpful. The facilities are well maintained.
Great family pool and equipment room...
