The Y offers so much, something for everyone. Super friendly staff
Great value as a veteran and love the programs for toddlers
The cleaning staff do a great job, the programming is varied, the pool is good for exercise year-round, the staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful, there is a great selection of equipment, the yoga instructors are very knowledgeable, and the hours are expansive.
Nice facilities, convenient location, reasonable price.
As an additional note, it would be nice to get a hook for the middle shower I'm the men's locker room. There was there before the renovation, but not anymore. There are only two total hooks for the three men's showers, which is inconvenient if all three are in use.
Ollie, Jen, and the pool managers have worked hard to make my daughter feel comfortable in the water. They are patient, kind, and make class fun.
The teacher, Miss Jackie is so caring and kind. We had a wonderful time

My kids enjoy both the summer camp and the afterschool program at their school. The staff have all been wonderful. During the summer my car broke down and we went without a vehicle for about 7 weeks which was almost the entire summer and the Y was able to accommodate me and adjust so my kids could have late pick up so my Aunt could get them when she picked up her som after work without being charged (they were on vouchers we received from DMH through our CSA.
So far they all enjoy the afterschool program, my som only wanted to go two days but now wants to add Thursday’s because a preferred staff from the summer only works on Thursdays. They are always happy when we pick them up, showing us art work and telling us what they did
Salem Y is amazing. Staff are top tier and are great supports for my kids.

I like that my son can be hands on, with arts n crafts, building with legos, he stays busy and he loves going to after school.
The staff is amazing with him to. They help teach him about sharing, and being responsible. The after school program is the best and my son loves it so much
Great yoga offerings (we still need Monday and Friday morning classes). Great staff—friendly and knowledgeable. The Mind Body Studio is quite nice. We need better quality blocks; the ones we have are dangerous.
Staff is awesome and the kids are treated very well
My daughter loves it
I have been asking the YMCA of the North Shore to update the locker room facilities for 10 years--and you've done it! Thank you!!! The locker rooms are clean; the floors and showers no longer smell; the steam room is clean and functional. I'm overjoyed! We have maintained our Y membership after we moved to Lifetime for the past few years because we believe in the Y and and we are now seriously considering dropping Lifetime to only use the Salem YMCA.
I have one more request for the Salem location and it has to do with the gym equipment. Right now you only have two power racks/squat racks and one Smith machine. The rack is the most important piece of equipment in any gym and it's always busy at Salem. The average person needs 20m on the machine to complete their workout so it's rare there is an opening. In order for my family to fully move to Salem YMCA, there needs to be more power racks. I would suggest no fewer than five. I propose removing the smith machine, and moving the hand weights to another part of the gym in order to make room for the additional racks all along the wall. They don't need to be new and fancy machines! Maybe another Y is getting rid of theirs?
Thank you for being an excellent resource!
You have a lot to offer.
The staff seem to really enjoy hanging out with the kids and provide a fun and safe environment for them. My daughter loves going to after care!
