Teachers are friendly and helpful to parents.
Teachers are kind and nurturing to the students. They do alot with the kids playing as well as teaching. it's always something new for activities. My daughter loves her class.
I am highly recommencing the YMCA mostly because i feel comfortable there. The staff is kind and helpful and the equipment is spaced nicely.! Also i have to drink A LOT of water and the machines hold my water bottle
Pickleball!
Great people.
Flexible times.
Many people prefer the later times.
Most important is the EARLY MORNING 6 TO 10 AM GROUP Weekday.
And early Sat and Sun.
If MONEY is an issue, consider
1) a pickleball only YMCA MEMBERSHIP, where they can't use weights
and can't take classes.
LIkely YMCA could make $120 PER MEMBER that suspends or quits,
by charging say $30 to JUST PLAY PICKLEBALL.
You might even increase revenue because maybe they decide on full membership after enjoying pickleball.
Charge OTHER subsized people $5 more per month.
If they are in bad enough shape financially to NOT afford $5 a month,
then maybe they need to WORK or SPEND LESS elsewhere.
Its great to be a charity, but inflation and increased costs limit that.
Maybe ask the SUBSIDIZED PEOPLE to RECRUIT a full paying member so that way they HAVE TO BRING IN REVENUE if they want the benefit of reduced rate.
Your doing a great job, can't be easy.
But really the important thing is RAISE MONEY by charging those who aren't paying full share more.
People who play pickle and are older , its what keeps them going, what keeps them alive, most of these people aren't 25 year olds that want TOURNAMENT pickleball.
Compromise is good too, even a shared situation of 1 or 2 court for pickleball all the time sharing with basketball players that are just shooting can work, other ymca do this flexible time.
MIKE, please dont share last name, but you know who I am.
Three years ago, I was introduced to an aerobic exercise program two days a week. I took on an extra day because I noticed wonderful improvements in my health and in my strength. I can’t say enough about my extraordinary instructor, Wendy Takesian, who makes it fun while work us hard . Kudos!
overall George's experience at camp Kelly brook has been great. the staff has all been kind and very accommodating to his needs and helping him find his place in camp. 10/10
The staff is great, my kids is enjoying herself at camp and making friends. I love the staff flexibilityand ability to accommodate my child's needs. She is attending summer school and can still go to Summer Camp.
I would recommend it to any parent looking for something at a good price.
Our family absolutely loves the Plaistow YMCA! It’s become such a special part of our routine. I can drop my kids off at Kids Club (which they love), then head to the gym for a workout or one of the amazing included classes. Spin class with Maggie is my personal favorite she’s the best!
The child care staff are so great with the kids, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands. My daughter recently started at Kelly Brook Camp and she’s having the time of her life. She never wants to leave! We’ve also been doing the parent and child gymnastics class with my youngest and it’s been such a fun bonding activity.
Only suggestion is Plaistow Y NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS A POOL! That would make this already amazing place even better!
