We have been fortunate enough to put all three of our boys in gymnastics and 🏊‍♂️swim classes through Salem gymnastics and 🏊‍♀️swim. The coaches, trainers, teachers, and staff are simply the best. They have activities and classes ranging from toddlers to high schoolers. I highly recommend their gymnastics classes to help burn out some energy for your young one and also take them to the pool to get them swim safe. This location also has ♿ handicap accessible parking, 🚻 restrooms, and seating.

My son started here in 2/2021 and we started out really enjoying it. However, in May, he was moved up in his swim class levels, and since then he went through more than 4 different coaches, inconsistent teaching, 2 near drowning incidents with a coach, and being scratched by another child without adults informing us of the incident. We have been really let down by the quality of instruction, so we decided to withdraw him from the program. But they refused to refund us, claiming it is their policy. While I understand the policy, it is VERY frustrating to be met with continual let downs on customer care from this business. I dont want my child to attend a place where I do not feel he is safe, receiving actual coaching that challenges him, or that we are being given the care that we are paying for, but they refused to issue a refund. I am looking forward to finding another place that really values the care and teaching of children.

My daughter started swim at 6.5 months old with Ella, and we have loved it! She’s made great progress in the past 4 months. Ella is amazing with the babies. We are taking the summer off because our pool at home is open but I’m excited to return back when summer is over.

We love this place! My 4 year old does swimming and my 2 year old does gymnastics. My son can’t wait for his swim lesson every week and is already swimming on his own. My 2 year old looks forward to the classes as well. The staff is really nice and flexible. A great place!

My 4 year old just started gymnastics at Salem Gym and loves it so much! I wish we would have started here a long time ago. The activities are always fun and age appropriate. The staff is great with kids. I also like the safety precautions they have put into place due to COVID. Every child in the class is social distanced and they break them up into smaller groups where they rotate in stations individually. Its almost a full hour of physical activity, so its a great exercise option too!

My child has been going there a month. We dont know our instructors name, which I find odd. I have no sense or communication about what hes learning (or not.) Tonight was awful, and we listened to a baby scream its head off for over 15 minutes. The child was incredibly upset but continued to have a lesson without her parent (?) I expressed my concern to the management folks, because it was horribly upsetting, and no attempt to calm the child or remediate the situation was attempted. Well move on and try somewhere else.

The care and skill of the coaches is great. They meet each child where they are and help them gain skills, find confidence, and encourage them in fun and engaging ways.During a year of complete chaos, Salem has been the very best at communicating changes as soon as government mandates caused the world to shift. They have balanced reason and sensibility with safety. Both their emails and portal keep us updated and give flexibility in scheduling and communicating. The office staff and coaches are always answering any questions or skill thoughts we have careful attention and openness.The gym is one of the cleanest places we attend, including remarkably clean bathrooms, which can be difficult with high use with children. I see the cleaning staff at work all of the time spraying and wiping down surfaces, doors, and other touchpoints.Speaking of safety; the gym is well-padded and coaches are high alert during classes and sessions to ensure safety of students.We are incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to participate at Salem now more than ever. Its been helpful for the physical and mental health of my child to see people, friends, and have her own outlet during covid world.

I was a swim student before the Covid-19 pandemic started. During 2020, mid-March Forsyth Tech and a lot of public schools & places closed down but Salem gym kept sending emails downplaying covid because they heard in a podcast that its still safe to swim in a chlorinated pool full of other people. Seriously, who cites podcast in an email ? This place is run by scientifically illiterate & religious nutcases. I do not recommend it at all.

The classes are structured with levels and rewards. 4 students per teacher. My daughter loves it and is learning quickly.

We bring our 5.5 y.o. for beginner gymnastics. I am so impressed with the quality of instruction and personal attention, especially for a group class. Our kid can have a hard time focusing, but the coach is skillful at bringing her back to the task and teaching determination without putting a damper on the fun. This is only her second month, and I can see improvements in her skills already. The office staff has also been incredibly supportive, answering questions and helping find a class that worked for us. The social distancing and COVID decontamination is also on point. The spaces in the gym are wide open, but the staff is still very conscientious about wearing masks and hand sanitizing. I highly recommend Salem Swim and Gymnastics.

We love Salem Gym! My daughter is in the toddler class and she loves it.

Salem Gymnastics and Swim is awesome! Very professional from the time you enter until you leave. My oldest son took lessons at another place in town and it ended in disaster. I had decided not to return there and started my youngest son at Salem. He has been involved in several speed weeks and I have been highly satisfied!! He participated in a speed week last year prior to COVID-19 and I was super satisfied with that experience then. Class size was small and the instructor worked with each child at their own pace. I was reluctant to sign him up this year due to the pandemic; however, after reading their safety plan decided to try it. I am very glad I did!!! They have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of the students, employees, and spectators. I have already signed my son up for another speed week. They are very organized, thorough, and the instructors are great with the children. I highly recommend Salem Gymnastics and Swim if you are searching for somewhere for your children to take lessons.

My daughter turned 5 and now the rule is enforced that she must wear a mask. All of the other kids in her class that are under 5 do not have too. So I bring her to class and I tell her she has to wear a mask. She takes off the mask and hands it to me. My daughter tells me that none of the other kids are wearing masks. My daughter didn’t understand. I get it, It’s policy. But you can have SOME kids wear them and others not. Either they all wear them or they don’t PERIOD. I come to pick her up. I walk inside and a teacher has my daughter pulled aside. I walk up and ask what’s going on. Apparently my daughter made a student cry. My daughter would never.... I mean NEVER make someone cry. My child is so kind hearted. They teacher tells me that My daughter won’t tell them what she said. So I ask Kirah and she told me that she didn’t remember when they were asking her. Then she told me she was just trying to play and told him to jump. Well not only did 1 teacher pull my daughter aside but TWO teachers. So not only did one teacher Harass my daughter to try and figure out what she said, BUT TWO teachers. Just let the child have some fun ??? She was trying to play with the other child. Not to mention with covid they kids can have zero interaction. I also paid for an entire month and only go two classes in December. Apparently they have “make up” days. It would be nice for someone to let me know those type of things. I’m guessing they “sent an email”. Sorry I’m definitely more personal that an email. You can’t pull a child aside and harass them for an explanation for another child crying. They already made Kirah go apologize to the kid. She had no idea what for. But then to have ANOTHER teacher pulling her aside at the end of class. Waist of money for me.

I love my coaches and teammates!

A place where u can see u children have fun and get fitness 💪💪

My son has taken both swimming and gymnastics. Both have been great experiences. The coaches are wonderful. I like how they offer a variety of times and days for classes. The ratios for swim lessons are very low and your child advances at their own pace.

Great instructors who are great with kids and they all work hard to keep space clean and practice social distancing.

My granddaughter just finished the Speed Week swim, level 3/4. I highly recommend! The instructors are great with children and very professional. The classes are 30 min. and not one minute was wasted. My granddaughter learned an incredible amount each day. There are goggles & other accessories available for purchase in the office, convenient & reasonably priced. I am very happy with our experience.

Salem Gymnastics and Swim have done a really good job of keeping their spaces clean and have good protocols to protect the parents and kids in their facility. I feel safe bringing my daughter back to gymnastics.

Our children have been taking swim lessons for almost 3 months and they love them - and we do too! Weve had our older child in lessons at other places and these have been the best by far. The instructors are great and the model used is consistent and effective. The warm pool is a huge benefit too.

My son has been taking gymnastics and swimming lessons here for several years, and he has loved the experience. I have also been impressed by the staff and the overall vibe. It’s fun, but controlled. We will continue.

Our daughters have been going here for almost a year and they love it. The instructors are great. Our one daughter is in beginners gymnastics and she is learning so much each week. Our other daughter is in parent and tot class and she absolutely loves it. They both get their energy out. Everyone is very friendly.

I enrolled my niece in swimming lessons at this gym. She comes to visit every summer. The staff here is great. I had a small misunderstanding in regards to their policy but the owner Beth reached out to me and was able to solve it immediately. She was extremely gracious and professional.All and all, I would definitely recommend!

Terrible place they dont instruct kids to swim. My kids have been going there for three years and cant float. Waste of time and money.

The staff and the owners are fantastic people. They always keep your kids safety and progress a top priority.My kids are gymnasts here and live coming here to train and compete.

My son really enjoys attending gymnastic classes here. Would definitely recommend it. Besides, in this place (Winston Salem) is not like there is much more options or things to do. Give it a try.

Mr. Jeff is great with the little kids.

We have two in gymnastics, great for the preschoolers, great for my 5th grader. She enjoys her time here. The swimming lessons are my favorite all the instructors are easy to talk to and the kids progress super fast. They practically learned to swim the first month. Money well spent on that peace of mind. Next summer we should be able to relax a little more at the pools and beaches.

Great place for kids.

Kids seemed to have fun, but we definitely felt rushed. Staff was cleaning up right next to kids, rights after they were severed their food. Not sure if the party was going too long, but there wasnt anyone else in the building besides our party.

Safety Warning:Im not one to complain or write negative reviews but because it concerns safety of children I feel like I have a responsibility in this case. I am a seasoned Mom of 4 children three of which are adventurous boys so I am not the helicopter parent type.There are many reasons to be concerned if your child is not yet able to swim or keep their own head above water.At the beginning of classes children are escorted to the pool and then left unattended until their classes start. Even two and three year olds are left completely UNATTENDED!!!Our 3 year old has gone under the water on several separate occasions. The first class should have been our red flag when the instructor told us our son had gone under the water for a while before they we able to get to him. Since then we have watched our son like a hawk. He has gone under multiple times during different classes. We spoke with a manager and they said they would talk with staff but nothing has changed. There is no hand off of the children from one adult to another. The kids are left to fend for themselves until their class starts and once the class is finished.During class time the teachers turn their backs while working with other children. This was not so in other swimming schools we have been involved in. Normally teachers walk backwards and forward in the water continually facing the class; never turning their backs once when dealing with small children. It is very concerning to watch through thick plexy glass as your child go under water for stretches at a time of time while the instructor is completely oblivious. We have had to rush in to shout across the pool to get our son from under the water.We moved from Florida and my older two children had swimming lessons while we lived there and we never felt concerned for their safety. However, at Salem Swim both my husband and I feel that our youngest is not well attended to nor do we feel like he is learning to actually swim. It seems that the main goal is just to get children to enjoy the water not to swim. The reason we enrolled our water loving children was to ensure their safety when around pools.

My daughter absolutely loves Salem Gymnastics, Mr. Jeff is an incredible gymnastics teacher and all of the other staff is excellent as well!

Enjoyed our karate classes. Learned a lot.
