Member Testimonials
Fabulous personal training and group instructors. I am dismayed to hear that management has shortened classes and training to shortcut their employees' pay. Your workers deserve better.
Good variety
I like the classes for older adults.
I like the diversity of the equipment, programs and people. The Y is one of the few places in Roanoke -- or anywhere, really -- that is for everybody.
Cleanliness, friendly staff and good equipment
I use the pool mostly, and the hot tub for a kind of hot massage of my left leg that has lots of problems. However, I particularly like the Y services for children: the family pool, the swimming lessons, and especially Y Splash. To many children drown every year. This program addresses that.
Things I would like to change? I'm disabled, and only one of the women's showers has a seat. It's the only shower I can use, which is often occupied by homeless women washing everything they own. I understand that they need this, but I would appreciate more showers with at least a fold-down seat, which would make it possible for me to use them.
we love the place! my children here whenever it open! my son plays basketball everyday! thank you guys for everything
Good variety. Targeted to all levels.

Willing and kind
Instructors are great! All the staff at the Y is very helpful. Tanglewood Y is clean and equipment is kept in working condition.
As a senior citizen I do not partake in much however I find working equipment and clean facilities with desired operating times of facilities. I have no complaint
For many years now, I have primarily used the Wellness Center, and the staff there is always present and helpful. It's a great place to meet and chat with other members. The machines that I use are generally available, and I can complete my workout in 35-40 minutes. I have been a Y member for almost 55 years, and I owe my good physical condition mostly to the time I've spent at the Y.

The variety
Pool, group classes including body pump and the variety of cardio machines, and weights available.
Pros: Lots of different class options and times. Someone is always cleaning. Appreciate the childcare hours.
Cons: Seems to take a long time to replace machines when they no longer work and there's been a 10 lb dumb bell missing for months.
Family membership and the pool and other
Rhe patience with the kids
I only use the weight room, but it is well stocked and clean. Better than planet fitness.
