Member Testimonials
I love the variety of activities they do in a day.
I like that they have creative play, nap time and learn basic skills to get them ready for kindergarten. I also like that they have multiple places they can release their active energy in yoga, gym and outdoor play when the weather is nice.
The staff is great as well and all of these wonderful activities are because of the staff. I feel safe leaving my lovey with them.
Love the water programs
I love the pool and the classes offered. Everyone is friendly and approachable.
The Salem Y is not only a great place to work out, it is also a great place to make new friends and meet up with people...not only to work out, but maybe later to go out for coffee, or make plans to meet for a movie or a concert. It's become my social circle!
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean facility, and convenient scheduling
I love that you can go to multiple locations, instructors are great especially Gina (Pilates/Barre) in Salem..facilities are clean and convenient.
Large fully equipped gym kept spotlessly clean. Never crowded.
Friendly convenient
I love it, it’s awesome and so is the staff.
Your staff are tremendous. Always a respectful greeting whether coming or going. The staff up at the gym with equipment are beyond wonderful and one outstanding staff member is Mars or Marz; but ALL are wonderful and members also. Salem is the happiest YMCA I have ever been to. I grew up going to Wakefield YMCA; it was enjoyable but this Y is unique.
Improves every year
The Y is a great organization with many ways to get active and to get engaged with the community.
Swim instructor Marena is great with our 5 year old swim student. She's patient and enthusiastic, always encouraging him and pushing him to try new things and have fun in the water.
Great people, great programs, great deal!
Staff so nice and facility clean
My daughter loves being apart of the shark fins team. The coaches are great with educating and having fun with the kids
I felt welcomed, the staff is friendly and there is a variety of classes to choose. The row and conditioning class I’ve been taking with Beth is awesome. I also appreciate Mary’s responsiveness on addressing a request I had.
First name removed B.
There are different things my kid can do at the program. Also, they can help children with homework.
Beth's rowing class is fantastic!
Nice space, convenient location, nice staff in the gym (haven't tried the pool yet), good mix of people, cool music in the gym. Oh, and I like the Y's mission.
Nice, modern equipment; courteous staff; members are respectful.
The staff are wonderful and most days our son doesn’t want to leave!
Noah is having the time of his life! He gets mad when I get him because he wants to stay until the end. If someone likes a program that much I would scream from the tallest mountain my recommendation for that program!
My kids loved the YMCA after school program and now my grandson loves it!!!
Caring staff.
Zinara and her team (Jojo, Julian, Ari, Mia, and anyone else I’m forgetting) at the Carlton site are amazing. They never fail to be warm, inclusive, and thoughtful. Zee is always a great communicator. She should get a raise. Give the woman a raise! We love her and all of them and it’s consistently my child’s favorite part of the day.
Very friendly and helpful staff
Mostly the great staff!
Good communication
Good people and a VERY clean facuility
I like everything, though I don’t love snacks vs. dinner. I truly understand why. Don’t like encouraging snacking vs. meals. Not complaining simply a comment.
