Member Testimonials
The staff of the Salem Y are so kind and friendly. I feel like it’s a very judgment-free environment where I’m valued. I especially love Mark’s Tai Chi classes on Monday and greatly hope they continue! I’ve been struggling with migraines from an injury as well as other health issues that have impacted my ability to exercise, and having a regularly scheduled class that’s accessible and helpful to people with different needs for their body has been wonderful. Mark is a great teacher and has forged a safe and happy little community in his Monday class.
Very clean with friendly staff and the Yoga class was the best!
I enjoyed very much going to the Y in Salem.
Friendly staff, excellent instructor, stellar pilates and yoga offerings.
The program is open to 6 pm, which is very helpful for coinciding with work times. My son always seems to be doing a project, most days, that he enjoys. They spend time outside, weather permitting, which is great because he loves being outdoors. The staff spend time making sure the kids are occupied.
All of it
My child is happy most of the time, however I feel like more and more incidents are happening due to the games and activities been offered.
It’s very accessible to get around in the building. They have a wide amount of classes that can be taken. I find it always very clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I love that they have added the little café it’s a great place to meet friends.
Its more than just someone watching your children. There provide activities, homework help and more. I love my local Y

Love Salem YMCA. ONly complaint is members have to pay for parking. Y needs to negotiate with the city to let members use parking passes.
