Please stop moving the bench presses in the free-weight room around so much.
Someone moved a bench press in front of the mirror where the free-standing benches are. This is a waste of valuable space and a hazard.
I enjoy the complete YMCA experience. From the moment you enter there are friendly faces at the counter to greet you. I primarily use the exercise/wellness area and I really enjoy the open atmosphere (i.e., being able to exercise and look outside also), the helpful and friendly staff, the cleanliness of the machines, and if I want to swim there are 2 pools, and also exercise classes and numerous other programs offered by the YMCA.
like the group excise classes - particularly Step. Would like a few more Step classes
I love the variety of classes they offer! And the instructors are all great!
Everything! You have everything for any type of household.
Swimming
I like the personal touches such as plenty of clipboards and pencils available, and advice and guidance available to assist with a fitness program.
However, the fact that the most prominent tv monitor in the spacious equipment room is always turned to a biased "news" outlet that spreads misinformation (and I do mean fox) disturbs me.
Wide variety of classes and programs.
I like Name removed, He is my favorite member.

I love the group classes and that they are offered at various times, as well as the family fit fun
I enjoy the classes--Body Pump--and RPM(?) or what I used to call "Spin." I don't know people's names but I feel a since of belonging with my "classmates." We quietly motivate each other through example.
Gym is large and well equipped. Enjoy the moderate fit class. Staff and members are welcoming.
It’s clean. Plenty of exercise equipment som5hstbyou don’t have to wait. Wish there were more exercise classes though.
I don't participate in many of the programs or classes, but usually use the fitness center and bikes (sometimes do a spin class). The facility is clean and the people who work in the fitness room in early morning are great!
Great Les Mills classes. Very nice instructors and employees at this Y.
Mainly use the Wellness Room but enjoy the pools, entire environment. We travel to CA and FL and visit Y’s in both locations. Salem Y is the nicest of all the ones we visit.
Lots of choices

the staff and other people
The instructors are encouraging , knowledgeable , and personable with a very welcoming manner . Nancy is outstanding ! There is a nice variety of programs . Every now and then an earlier time for the 10:30 class (modfit or Zumba) would be very nice so u aren’t finishing almost at lunchtime . The y feels well kept and clean , I appreciate that aspect very much .
Allot of choices. Something for everyone no matter the age group.
We are new members, just beginning to use the facility. We are happy with our experience this far.
