Member Testimonials
Beth Shultz is an amazing teacher.
I like the community feel. The staff are very kind and polite.
Affordable, great classes and instructors, nice facility, friendly community
Healthy living
The facility is so clean and friendly.
We love the Salem Y. The staff are friendly and it feels like a community. The classes are very inclusive. Recently we stopped by during the snow storm (thanks for being open!) and the staff helped our kids get equipment out for free play in the gym. They were thrilled!
Salem YMCA open long hours; helpful staff too
Parking meters are pretty much the only option around the Salem Y. Finding a spot can be challenging. Then again, if you come early in the morning, things still look good, and it's free until 8:00 AM. Fortunately, parking is not an issue for me. With that said: The Salem Y is bigger on the inside than you might think from the outside. The pool is small, but I usually come in for the workout area. It is packed to make the most use of available space, and it offers the type of elliptical that agrees with me (movement feels natural). The Beverly Y, for example, has long done away with that specific type of elliptical, so I don't go there anymore for that.
Support an important community resource, pool, and weight room.
I love the variety of programming
Friendly staff, clean facilities, lots of options and offerings. It's been a great place to be a part of.
It’s a great space with friendly staff and awesome classes.
We are very happy with Julia, the kids' swimming instructor, as well as the helpful, supportive, and fun environment that she and Alex create each Wednesday when we are there. Swim class is a highlight of our week. The kids have made incredible progress this season and gained so much confidence. Thank you!
Good programs and friendly atmosphere.
Friendly, clean and well equipped
Lo recomendaría siempre y a todo el mundo.
The instructor, Ms. Jacqueline, is wonderful. There is a great balance of time with the instructor and time for the parents/caregivers to interact with the infants by themselves.
Friendly and clean
The convenience, the fact that it's a familiar organization...
I like the coaches, I like that the water isn't as cold as Beverly... I like that we feel sort of at home there now... I like that the swim team is not "high pressure".
I am a huge fan of Eme's pilates classes. It is so helpful that these classes are outside of work hours (6:30pm on Monday and Thursday nights, and 8:15am on Saturdays). I wish there were more pilates and/or barre classes offered outside of work hours - I would love to go more than three times a week! And the classes are always fully booked, so there seems to be lots of interest from other folks, too!
Thanks for everything you all do at the Y.
My kid love to be in the kids club and swimming pool a lot.
They are held at the same site that my child goes to school; my child gets extended play time with schoolmates
Good equipment and nice facilities
The sense of community. All the different program options for all ages from babies to adults there is something for everyone
Staff are helpful, location is great, kids club is a life saver (would love if it was open more hours)
The Y is clean, convenient and has many fitness options. The staff is friendly and helpful.
Love the classes! Staff is pleasant. App is user friendly enough. Equipment is new, never insanely crowded.
Very clean and friendly place.
Great trainers!
