The Salem Y is a great city fitness center that excels at building community and helping you meet your goals. They have great classes and knowledgeable fitness instructors. The small group training is wonderful. The pool and lifeguards are always alert and friendly to members. The front desk staff is consistently welcoming when I arrive and they say goodbye when I leave. The executive staff is always quick to respond to questions and suggestions.
Great facilities for my needs... Ample free weight and multiple squat racks... Good pool... Friendly staff. Only real concern is age and state of men's locker room facilities.
Staff is friendly and reliable, activities are creative, my kid loves it.
Safe, fun, and secure on-campus care for my child. Staff is wonderful. Very pleased. We're thinking of having our daughter go to the downtown facility for more options.
We love the sense of community at the Y
Good resource for the community
I love the Y! Brought my mother as a guest for an aquafit class and we both enjoyed it. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Locker room was very clean. Overall a great experience. Can't wait to come back (although I may use the Marblehead Y during October, when Salem is crazy). Thanks!
Dunno but my kid seems happy
I like every thing about it . The part I'm most happy about it's seeing the happiness on my daughter's face and how exciting she talk about the program really love it and recommend for every one.
I love them and my girls feel happy and safe. The activities are excellent.
Me encanta 🥰
Enjoy classes and pool. gym. People are polite and friendly
The daycare program is fantastic! Over the past 30 years I have had three children enrolled from infant to toddler to after school care & summer camp and I can't say enough good things about all of it. Very pleased & always mention to others.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and nice.
Great classes and staff.
It has excellent class offerings and a strong sense of community and kindness.
The Salem Y is a fantastic place for too many reasons to list here, BUT I have a "critique". There are too many (usually younger) members, who, when using the weight room, will be finished with their set on a machine, and then just remain sitting on it, playing with their phone or confabulating with their friends, while others are waiting patiently to use that equipment. I'm talking FOR TWENTY MINUTES OR LONGER! Wouldn't anyone find this unacceptable? I don't want to say anything to another gym member but maybe the staff could hang a sign politely reminding members not to hog the machines if they're not using them (for their intended purpose). There's plenty of places to just "hang out".
I love the wide variety classes. It's very convenient being downtown. In wish there c was a juice bar or something for an after workout treat. That said, it's awesome.
I find myself at the Salem Y more and more these days. I got out of the habit of exercising over the summer but once you [re-]enter the Y's welcoming doors, everythiing is there to help you get back into leading a healthier life, from spin classes to core strength classes and yoga, to the pool and all that offers, to volleyball and other sports. The staff offers some out-of-the-box experiences too, such as Sound Healing and Restorative Yoga and a new LiveStrong group. As well as all that, if you have little kids, there is babysitting so that you can relax while taking care of yourself. Plus, the Salem Y has a sliding scale for their monthly fees so that almost everyone can become a member. Being a member is a win/win sitation for the community and the members.
Friendly, helpful staff.
My grandson just started Kindergarten & attending the after school program. He’s still undecided about Kindergarten, but he’s loving his time at the program.
Kids love the staff while having fun!!!
Great selection of classes, talented instructors, and very clean.
Great staff, equipment, and programs.
I am so happy to have my daughter in the swim lesson. She is only 2.5 years old and is a swimmer thank you for the teacher and their very great way to teach the kids to swim.
It’s been a great experience and the weight room staff and trainers have been very helpful and welcoming every time!
Avery has loved her experience at YMCA after school and kids club at LVO!
