Member Testimonials
The Y offers many options to help me improve my physical and mental well being.
I especially like the fitness floor. The Marblehead Y is much closer to my home but it is very crowded compared to Salem. I like the quieter space. (Don't tell anyone. I want to many people discovering the benefits at Salem.)
Love the members, diverse programming for all ages, staff and mission.
Close to home, a class I like and the instructor is fun. Staff smiles and are friendly
My favorite part of the Y experience is the friendliness of the women's locker room and especially, among all those who use the pool! I take all of Pauline Harney's classes each week and have recommended them to several others.
PS and Jimmy at the front desk early hours is a great welcoming face!
Music , karate and basketball
The preschool there is great! Staff is always welcoming and inviting at pick up and drop off. There is always a line of communication with the director. They share things going on around the Y and within the commuity.
Infant daycare is fantastic! The teachers are wonderful and take great care if the little ones.
The variety of classes and depth of community.
Super clean facilities, friendly staff, respectful clientele, and decent equipment for the price point. I’d recommend an upgrade on some of the fitness machines/plates but otherwise excellent!
Well 1st of all the facility is amazing there are so many things you can do there not to mention the staff there are phenomenal anything you need they'll help you with it's clean and organized and I love it
The facilities are robust ( I especially enjoy the steam room post workout). I definitely value the Y for their community outreach programs.
The Y is a warm. welcoming community. At this season, you can see the outreach they carry out. So many Salem familles benefit from the Y community. Of course, members also benefit from the gym, the support from the gym staff, the pool, the group exercise staff and all the programs they support.
We love the parent and tot swim class. My son looks forward to it all week. Ms. Jackie is the best!

Because it is a great environment that I feel comfortable working out in. Everyone from the staff is kind, encouraging, and friendly
It has a good gym and it is close to home. It would be a 10 if it had its own parking especially in October!!
The instructors are wonderful, especially Heather S. and Eme. Their knowledge and attention to making sure we are doing the activities properly is reassuring. Everyone is helpful and friendly.
I am just so pleased with the variety of excellent classes offered, as well as pool with terrific aqua exercises, free swim availability lanes and locker room features of saunas, etc. Really just great!
I am so happy to have found. Keep up the great work.
I love the Salem YMCA. The staff is amazing and always ready to help. The building is always VERY clean. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else to exercise and swim.
The y is a very friendly place that everyone will love to be in.
It's great, but the swimsuit squeezer device in the Mens' room is weird.
