Member Testimonials
Clean, Friendly, good equipment.
I like the facility, it's never too crowded and the staff is always friendly and helpful. It's just sometimes hard to find parking.
Nice, clean, well-appointed facility with friendly, helpful staff!
Some of the best teachers: Beth Schultz (Salem Y) is encouraging, engaging, and very knowledgeable. Her Rowing and Conditioning classes are so enjoyable, as is her !
Jen Brehob: Swimming coach: Tuesdays/Thursdays 5:30: M'Head Y is fantastic. So enthusiastic and again very knowledgeable, She brings enjoyment to swimming and always brings her A game. She changes the routine often and generally just a fun instructor.
I used to take Abbie's circuit training class religiously on Weds/Fridays at 5:30A (M'Head Y). She is often difficult to hear, her classes never start on time and she usually is going thru the circuit of exercises after 5:30A and often attendees have questions, so the class starts even later. Her class last Thursday was very disorganized. It's unfortunate, these days and times work for me. I'd like to see this class improve, and I would take more often.
Such a happy place that offers something for everyone. The little children must love to go to the Y I don't see a lot of fussing. The parents can get a break to work out. So what is not to love.
On another note to I would like to see more bicycles at the facility because I have always had a problem with driving to a workout for myself but aleast l'm aware and hopefully will start riding there soon.
Small, friendly place to exercise. Easy to get a lane in the pool.
Great staff!
I like that the Y is so close to me. I walk over for the classes.
Basic Yoga and Chair a yoga classes have been really good for my wife and I.
I would like to see a Tai Chi class back to Salem.
Thank the staff for all their hard work.
The strictly strength trainers are awesome. I'm a 75 year old and they are accepting of what I can do, challenging to grow stronger, a good sense of physiology, and often just plain funny. The participants are generally younger and impressive, congenial and just great to be around.
I’m loving the variety of classes and everyone who works at the Salem Y is so kind and helpful!
Love how Swim lessons are offered, curriculum is aged appropriate, and the teachers wonderful.
I like this place, always is clean and the service is very good
Our son seems to enjoy going each day!
The variety of classes and the instructors, especially Beth Schultz.She is the reason I go to the Y on a regular basis.
Amazing diversity and availability
It's the only gym I know
Health and you have some really competent staff. Like Jamint and Margaret and Arlene and Paul. I recommend the Salem Y and other Y's about three times a week. I also tell women about the self defense classes like the boxing.
Also you have members who should be monitored.
My kids have a lot of fun and the counselors interact with the kids.
Gina who teaches pilates and does so much at the Y is such an inspiration and keeps me coming back and recommending the Salem y
Friendly welcoming helpful
I work out in the fitness center of the Salem Y every day, and it is always spotlessly clean. The staff is super nice and helpful, The machines are well maintained and updated. It is a very happy place!
Many programs! Friendly atmosphere!
The Y is an active meeting place for the Salem community. In addition to all the classes you can also meet friends, neighbors and colleagues.
I was having an issue with members being on their phones not working out constantly holding up machines and The Y took in my feedback and put signs up saying to be considerate of others that are waiting for the machines. I really appreciated that.
I also love their classes that they offer and it’s nice that there’s such a variety; something for everyone.
Also the staff is always friendly!
The Y is a good value if you take advantage of the services. The instructors are great. There is a wide range of programs.
Salem YMCA is very clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. That’s all you need in a gym
Friendly staff. Very good equipment. Very much enjoying yoga with Rebecca…challenging but definitely improving my mobility.
I love all the new equipment and the Y is always very clean...
The staff at the front desk and in the exercise gym always acknowledge me and welcome me with a smile and a hello when I enter. Just walking in makes my day better.
I can think of three occasions when I needed assistance from staff and it was given each time promptly, competently, and with such a pleasant helpful attitude.
When I am considering whether or not to exercise today, knowing the welcoming feeling I will get from my people at the Y always pushes me to say 'yes".
Aquaerobics with Jacquie V has been a game changer for my physical and mental health. For the first time in my life I'm spending time at the gym without constantly checking the clock. Beyond the health benefits of the class, I appreciate the community Jacquie builds with her students. Wrapping up each lesson with a few minutes in the dry sauna is the icing on the cake.
