Now for the down side and I have heard very youbg children being yelled at both in lobby and outside. Heard an employee I have never seen before repeating to really young ones to walk faster. I hope staff at tge desk report these issues. Being yelled at can traumatize children.

Walkable for many residents and good selection of classes
The most incredible summer camp "Creative Arts", my child loved going there every single day and has extremely positive experience compared to some other programs that were way to intense! The counselors and the managements were absolutely incredible, flexible and understanding, they took a great care of my child and every day was worry free for me as a parent and I truly appreciate you all! We will be coming back next year! Thank you all for all your hard work, for positive attitude, for exceptional care and for making this summer extremely pleasant!
The daily activity with the kids
I love the morning aqua fitness classes!! great teachers (Pauline is best!) with different approaches to same routines--how about adding a Thursday a.m. option, too?
Jess, Haley and Josephine in the kids club make me feels so happy to drop my kids off! You can’t pay somebody to live your kids but I feel they are truly loved and cherished by the kids club staff. We are so grateful for them all!
My kid absolutely loved everything about camp. The staff was super welcoming, positive, and enthusiastic. He liked the variety of activities.
Great staff!
My daughter liked that she could swim in the ocean, do archery, make art, etc. She had no complaints and loved spending all her time outdoors. There was plenty to do and everyone was very nice. She will definitely be back next year.
It was a great experience for my daughter. She really love it.
Feels like family, people are friendly, so many options between studio, classes, pool, equipment cafe and more.
Clean facility, nice staff, and continue to upgrade and take care of equipment.
There are good classes and nice staff.
In February 2014 Congressman Seth Moulton awarded Pauline Harney a congressional commendation for contributing to the betterment of the Salem community.
Having retired a decade ago, I discovered Pauline's Salem YMCA Monday, Wednesday and Friday aqua fitness class. It continues to significantly increase my quality of life and is the only program I participate in. Highly recommend this welcoming beneficial well attended program.
Great class options and staff at Salem Y are fantastic.

It’s in center of town. I didn’t have to wait for an elliptical.the staff is extremely friendly
YMCA always puts on an amazing program. My children look forward to camp every year and have a great time doing the activities. Couldn't ask for better staff or a better time with the Salem Y!
You keep the children engaged in activities. The staff work extra hard to keep the kids upbeat and happy. There are a ton of activities for the kids to be busy and not bored. Especially at camp harbor quest! They are always doing something to keep the kids engaged
I love the Y Best group of people who play volleyball super fun & like practicing yoga.
The kids club staff is amazing and the swim instructors are fantastic. Crafting a Community reminded me why I love handcrafts. Mat pilates with Gina is so much more than an exercise class that many regulars have been coming back for years. The Salem Y has become an important part of my family’s routine and community.
Super friendly staff, responsive management, lots of value.
Fine trainers. Good members. I’m likely on the older side at 76. Nice balance between challenge and acceptance of what I can do. Friendly group to work out with.

Great programs, wonderful and kind instructors. The pool is large and open. Everything is clean and well maintained. The income sliding scale is great and helped me quite a bit. I really love my local Y.
