Member Testimonials
Good variety and lots of times available from early morning to evening classes.
The Y serves everyone. It's not a just a gym, it's a mission. The atmosphere is always super friendly and I've made many wonderful friends there.
Family pool and the equipment room...
Late hours. Friendly staff
There’s a class for everyone. Great variety. The fitness room is awesome also.
The Salem Y has great programs and activities. The classes in the family pool are excellent offering to help people of different levels the appropriate class. However the temperature of the water is inconsistent. Doing slow movements in water that is too cold often has an adverse affect and can trigger pain and stiffness. Please find a way to make it reliable.
Otherwise I really love the Salem Y. It is welcoming and uplifting. The staff is always courteous and friendly. The views are beautiful. A great place to be a member of.

Friendly family environment
I love the LesMills classes. Wish there were some offered at additional times. LOVE the CxWorks and Body Pump Classes.
Love the new family class!
Love the kids area.
Love the kids sports activities.
I love the Fit Smart program and the warm water aerobics classes.
Be able to swim laps before or after daytime job. Lap time was cut back severely due to the swim teams in the past few months so that is a major impact on why I knew I would stop being a member. Being able to Maintain a level of cardio activity thru regular swimming without enduring an impact workout on my back and lower extremities is what drew me to the Salem Y originally. Great staff, great environment. Just too many hours for swim team activities daily during the week and not any late evening time for public lap swimming in a pool not full of swim teams participants. Was a time to also unwind and find peace and center. Thankful for the times I was able to swim after work and dinner before the swim teams received all of the focus.
I love using the gym!

Variety - meets my needs - modern facility
Everything
The group exercise classes keep me motivated. I especially like Pilates Mix and Barre. The instructor, Janni, is focused on good form for good results with injury. She models patience, persistence, and positivity. I am seeing results in myself-both physically stronger and more limber, and mentally stronger as well.
Well staffed. The staff are knowledgeable helpful and pleasant. The facility is always clean especially the bathrooms. Plenty of available parking. The Salem Y also has a wide range of activities to suit many different lifestyles. I just enjoy going frequently and often
The big pool is rarely crowded at 1PM!

Great facility
Nice facilities, except locker rooms which need updating.
I like the family pool for the hydro-Pilates and other water classes. The fellowship is wonderful too!
Stay and Play allows me to work out and not worry about my children.
I like the fact that I feel confident in knowing I am entering a clean facility. The staff are friendly and helpful. The group trainers really give us a workout. Check in is so easy and the teen center as well as the child watch really help parents and grandparents to feel at ease while using the adult parts of the facility. No worries!
