Member Testimonials
My name is Name removed and I am the president of Marblehead rowing club a.k.a.RocknRow. This past Sunday we held a capsize clinic in your pool with our 2025 new member class and I want to thank you for allowing us to put two Rowing shells in your pool and train members how to get back in their boats after they’ve capsized.
In past years, we’ve always held this event at the Marblehead YMCA, but for some reason they were not able or willing to accommodate us this year. So again I thank you so much, everyone was extremely accommodating.
Facilities are high quality and the instructors are uniquely talented.
The facility is clean and convenient, and the staff are friendly.

I would definitely recommend someone because it is a nice gym and the people that work there are awesome.They treat everyone with respect.
I love this Y. It is very clean, the employees are all very friendly, and it rarely gets so packed you can't workout.
The lockerroom also has steam and sauna, which is great!
It is a small, friendly place. The membership rates are great. There are many exercise options and classes to choose from. Great instructors. Having both a steam and sauna is awesome!
The Y staff is great from the front desk to the instructors. It plays a central role in the community and its location downtown is ideal, except in October. Only drawback is it could use more space.
Good community , best place for kids and adults to excercise and thrive in life !
The Y is an asset to Salem, and I can rely on the services, programs, and staff to help me take full advantage of my membership.

The Staff Members are amazing and my Daughter love the afterschool program.
