Great coaching
All the equipment is very up to date.

I'm so grateful I signed up with the Salem YMCA. It's only been a few weeks, but I've been impressed with the classes, teachers, member engagement and offerings.
Because I enjoy the pool and the gym. Especially water aerobics. and water Zumba ..My friends also enjoy yoga .
Mainly for child related benefits. We have mo gamily nearby, so finding last minute care/something to do was very hard before we joined. Kids club is an amazing benefit, and then access to good kids classes, sauna, gym equipment etc… made it more than just a child care cost. Very happy with what we gained by joining and recommend to all our friends with kids
I have not had a chance to use the gym or the pool yet, but I liked what I saw when my husband and I toured the facility on Friday, March 15. The staff was friendly and informative. The facility was clean, well equipped, and inviting.
It is a very pleasant space to be in, as well as offering several activity options.
My daughter likes the afterschool program. She's been excited about the "theater club" that they've been doing lately.
I like how the counselors take time to get to know my child. There is great communication about how my child is doing in the program on a daily basis.
Friendly and caring staff, inclusive and creative environment.
My daughter has been at the Salem Y since she was 4.5 months old. Her teachers have been consistently fantastic, and left me confident in entrusting her care to them. They’ve worked with me through food allergies and intolerances, EI interventions, and were true partners in supporting her development. All of the Y staff were phenomenal in working through Covid restrictions- I know how challenging that was for the teachers, management, cleaning staff, etc. She’s now in Pre-K and I’m amazed at how much she’s learned. We’ve taken advantage of the reduced family Y membership benefit throughout our time at the ELC, including the free parent-child classes and reduced class prices for swim and gymnastics. We’re a Y family, and leaving this wonderful environment for kindergarten this fall will be bittersweet. I fully expect that we’ll continue to be a Y family with after care and summer camp- we love our Y and the ELC especially.
There are various things to do with the children not just playing on the playground.
I love that my child is gaining confidence in the water weekly with a trained swim instructor. I am extremely happy with the curriculum implemented in each of my children’s classrooms. All lesson appear to be fostering age appropriate skills!
just a great experience overall
The classes are made flexible for the students and the students needs. The teacher makes the classes fun and welcoming for all of the participants.
Really lively and kid-friendly. Great great staff and such a steal for how much time the Y puts into these classes and productions!!
