Member Testimonials
Great programs.
We have only come to walk for now laps now, have not wanted to make more work for those cleaning the machines, etc. I must say that your employees are doing a lovely job! They are always walking around, looking for ways to help patrons. Very impressive!
Oh how I love the YMCA. It has helped me so much during the pandemic. As soon as you opened again, I have been taking classes. I have been taking Water aerobics, Go low, Mod Fit, and most recently Cardio Jam on Sundays. I struggle with fibromyalgia and depression and anxiety. I am on disability. The Y is my outlet. I have grown stronger physically and emotionally. In addition, I have lost 22 lbs since the beginning of the Pandemic by adding exercise and proper diet. I, am, also, meeting lots of people and developing new friendships.
Thank you for being such a wonderful facility.
Name removed
The Y still has a good selection of classes despite COVID.
I haven't been participating in any organized activities since covid. I do feel safe when I workout and thankful for all the safety measures you have put in place.
Love Mod Fit and First name removed as the instructor. Pre Covid loved swimming in the family pool. Only complaint is the kids at the facility now are not wearing masks or social distancing in the rooms. Y would be the perfect place for the kids to get used to doing this. The camp kids using the pool without doing precautions while in the building is the reason I am not back to using the pool yet.
I'm a avid lap swimmer who's swam laps at dozens of YMCAs and recreation centers in the USA and in France and Canada during my past 10 years of travels as a retired woman. Salem's YMCA unlike other pools that put kiddies, lap swimmers and aerobic folks in one crowded pool, has two pools which is super nice for serious lap swimmers like myself. Also unlike other lap pools, Salem's YMCA isn't too warm which is perfect for serious lap swimmers. And unlike France and Canada which have very limited pool hours for crowds of swimmers that must swim round-robin fast, Salem's YMCA has plenty of pool hours and available lap lanes for fast swimmers and slow-pokes like me. Plus, the temperature of Salem YMCA's shower water is nice and hot unlike other pools that have luke-warm to cool showers. And did I mention separate locker rooms for females under/over 18 yrs? It's nice for senior women like myself who aren't used to sharing a locker room with giggly screaming girls under 18 yrs, just saying! :)
I use the Y for swimming and aqua zumba. The Y has given me friendship and social contacts. It would be nice to have aqua zumba resume. I think of the Y as my "second home." Such a great place!!!

As an employee, I really love how staff members are actively engaging in relationships with the members. I think that activities and challenges like the Group X challenge, bring staff, members, and the community as a whole together.
These are great coaches, and a very well coordinated program. My child has thrived under this program, the training and conditioning. Thank you for your great care and direction of my child.
YMCA is an awesome place to better your health through learning how to eat better, exercise and be involved!
The staff is very kid friendly. They do creative activities either individually or as a group. My child feels safe and comfortable there.
