Member Testimonials
There is a variety of activities for the kids to choose from, and the staff is excellent.
Very Good
Very friendly.
Extra special staff, open when other places are closed(except for about 5 holidays :( )
My most happy place! :) :) :)
I like the communication between the staff members and parents. I also like the fact that they cater to every child’s unique needs.
Comfortable atmosphere. Fantastic yoga offerings
A+ staff and culture. Always neat and tidy. You guys do a wonderful job!
I like how much attention is given to my children given the smaller class sizes. I also appreciate that they observe the children and create a learning path for the individual not necessarily for the group.
It’s great!
I've been a member of the YMCA on and off since I was a kid. the Salem Y especially is a center for community activity and is especially down to earth when Ys in the other areas can seem more like snobbish fancy health clubs....the Salem Y maintains it's integrity for serving all people.
Best program ever ! love the staff and my kids love them too !!
I love the mind-body classes. In four years, I've never had a bad teacher or a bad class!
Because I’ve been a member since God spoke to Moses. Also, I’m on the board & donate money.
Besides, it’s a friendly place for all ages.
I think everyone is great! The campsite coordinater (Aaron or Erin) not sure how to spell the name correctly is awesome!! Always goes above and beyong to ensure Nevaeh is supported
My child gets individualized attention. She comes home raving about the activities - from coloring to quiz games - and it’s such a safe place for her to be.
I love the Salem Y! I love that you ask for feedback and you really listen!
There is truly something for everyone here! I was delighted to find the cold plunge had been added. As soon as I find a bathing suit, I’m going to take the plunge!
The after school activities are well balanced, active and educational. The mix of art and sports activities offers something for all kids to enjoy.
The staff is attentive and supportive, fun and engaging. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her time at the Y.
Thank you!
I dont use the gym that much anymore although I used to. I love the mat pilates classes. I wish there were more classes offered to accommodate a typical work schedule at the salem location. If there was a 6am or 630am pilates class, I would be there daily. Its the main reason more of my friends dont join, due to the lack of pre-work classes.
Love the teachers. We have Ollie and Julia now, but have had others and they are all great. They work well with my daughter who doesn’t always listen but LOVES swim class and is always so excited to go.
We love Ms. Julia and Ms. Emily! They are excellent teachers- great mix of patience, energy, expertise!
I like how they go to the playground and run around alot. There are also alternative activities if my son doesn't want to go to the playground.
good gmy
My daughter has done multiple programs at and through the YMCA and absolutely loves it, the staff is amazing!
Good facilities
Clean environment and a good selection of group classes.
Exercise and community
Clean, plenty of machines to exercise. Plenty of space. Lots of options.
There is a family feel to this YMCA. At the same time, there is a feeling of many cultures coming together, being recognized together and respected. This seems to be a rare commodity in our world today. I mostly come to the Y these days for Pilates class with Gina. There is a small group of us that are” regulars” and we have become our own little community.
The size of this YMCA makes it feel welcoming and not overwhelming. Other nearby YMCA seem to be reaching towards a different population. They sometimes feel a little too polished for me. The machines in the gym in Salem might not be the newest, or state of the art, I don’t mind, as long as I can use them when I show up on occasion, they still help to keep me in better shape. If I would only use them more often, I would be even in better shape.😅
