Thank you!

Friendly staff, great amenities
Love the equipment and that all ages go there
My daughter and family like the YMCA AfterSchool program. And would recommend it.
I absolutely LOVE the meditation room. I'm also a huge fan of Gina, who teaches several classes. She's very careful to explain the proper way of poses and exercises to avoid injury
Enjoyable place - enjoy Beth who teaches rowing on Saturday. She's a joy and fun to learn from.
The people who work there are so incredibly helpful and welcoming! The members who come to the Salem Y are also wonderful; I love going there, just wish parking was better.
Just a great place with all the amenities of any other health club.
I go almost every day. The experience meets my needs and expectations every day. There are a lot of activities to choose from. I do yoga, spin classes, some rowing classes, and use the Fitness Center which has a wide variety of equipment. I also use ghe pool on occasion.
Friendly responsive staff at the Carlton program! I feel Adrianna, Chloe and Jasmin, in particular, are so enthusiastic and caring about my kindergartener! As a parent, that is so incredibly valuable!
Well organized and my son loves the sports and has so much fun.
We are big fans of Ms. Nancy!
My toddler is taking swim classes with Nancy and he loves it. Open swim has been great for giving him extra time in the water.
Jackie has been amazing so far!
The instructors are amazing and are really passionate to make sure you're learning and progressing.
I love that the children start with movement activities to get the energy out after such a long school day! The staff have been on board since before my child was enrolled. I’m very happy with the lord YMCA program & will highly recommend it.
The staff is very friendly and very attentive. My daughter had a blast with the Y program after school and felt very comfortable. I highly recommend and appreciate all that you have done!

Both my children go to center and they love going to daycare everyday. My son gets the biggest smile on his face going to his room and seeing his teachers! He loves all of the activities they do and the walks they go on. My daughter loves the buggy rides and all the sensory play.
Our daughter is enjoying the program. Has great things to share and loves the staff!
Trainer Beth is awesome. Knowledge of physiology, humor, challenging workouts and acceptance of all ages and individuality make the workouts inclusive.
I love the staff. Facility is very clean.
I joined the Y six months ago. This is my first fitness center experience. I have always been active but after two years of caring for my elderly mother, I realized the importance of strength training and stress releasing. The staff has been super nice and helpful and the facility to my amazement is always spotlessly clean! (I am somewhat of a germaphobe)
My trainer, Beth has been wonderful! She really understands the body of an older woman and has been tremendously helpful! I can really see the progress I have made with her.
I wish I had not waited so long to join!
Convenient, clean
Great facility! Clean and very well-maintained with friendly and helpful staff.
I use the pool at the Y, exclusively, both in Salem and Marblehead. I love that there are aqua aerobics classes but wish there were more scheduled during the course of the day. I've been doing water workouts for 30+ years now, so the classes offered on Mon, Wed and Fri early mornings in Salem are not really challenging for me. I understand that there is a need for the less challenging workouts and that is fine - it's just not for me. So I started going to the Salem pool on my own and do my aqua workout solo.
A neighbor, and fellow Y member, alerted me to a certain instructor in Marblehead, Gus Malaab, who teachers a more strenuous workout. I think you would greatly improve attendance if Gus taught a few aqua aerobics classes at the Salem pool! I do not like to see the pool so under-utilized during the day, but perhaps this has been tried before and not been successful?
Just my opinion.
Clean, friendly, good equipment and environment.
Great facilities and great group classes with many to choose from
The yoga and meditation area was so relaxing and serene! I love the classes they offer!
It's a good place to go.
Great community
