Family YMCA of Marion and Polk Counties

Definitely give zero stars if I could, we used the ymca last summer for the first time and from the get go they were horrible and unorganized, unprofessional and doing a lot of things that aren’t even following the educational laws. I wouldn’t ever bring my child back here again. Nor would I advise other people to take their childern here either, especially if your child has any medical or health conditions, look somewhere else, because they’ll pick and chose the days your child can come because they clearly don’t know how to schedule either.

The people seem really nice, and genuine. However I’m feeling frustrated and would not recommend the Salem YMCA. My wife and I signed up this month up predominantly due to the YMCA offering childcare and for a young family this a deal maker.nnConsidering the building is falling apart, the weight room is outdated, and the basketball courts/pool are closed due to a fire. Childcare is it’s one saving grace. Unfortunately, The childcare situation is not ideal.nnThe first time we took our kids to the daycare both come back with pinkeye.nnThe second time we took our kids to the daycare, it is completely closed during scheduled operation time, and none of the staff know why it’s closed or how I can find out when the childcare will randomly be closed in the future.nnIt’s a lot to pack up the kids stuff, get ready to workout, load the kids up, drive down there and have to turn around with clear no explanation. ud83dude10ud83dude10ud83dude10

My husband and I have been members for about 7 years. We love the 'Y' family. Instructors are knowledgeable and take an interest in all people of all age and skill levels. Members are very diverse in age and abilities. Everyone is important and accepted. The Y is interested in helping everyone be their best.

I've been a member of this Y for about 10 years. I love it! Yes, the older building does have some challenges, but the programs and staff more than make up for it. The group exercise classes are AWESOME! They make you work hard, but the staff are supportive and help you reach your goals. I've also met with one of the personal trainers and he is fantastic. I'm planning on putting my daughter in swimming lessons soon and can't wait for her to be old enough to try some of the other activities.

The way they handled the sudden close wasn't professional. Aren't responding to calls/ emails. I had to call other locations to get info.
