Very glad to see more evening classes being offered for those of us who work 9-5pm. Thank you for bringing back Zumba on Thursdays. That has made many of us very happy that go to the evening Zumba classes. Thanks, First name removed

I enjoy the yoga, barr, step classes.

I love the group exercise programs but also the feeling that there is something for everyone at the Y

I particularly like pickleball.

Access to machines

I love body combat but too bad Salem YMCA doesn’t have the body combat on the group exercises. Please add the body combat to the group exercises to Salem YMCA. Thanks

Use it for Fennec last year and this year as well. Never questioned if she was happy for safe. Huge relief all around.

Convenient class schedules, excellent instructors

Accommodations, availability, staff, and very convenient, good day Name removed

I really like that the kids are kept busy; they are creating, running, exploring, swimming, and traveling to participate in local activities, they're always doing something. This makes me happy to know my child is enjoying life! Thank you YMCA

Great instructors. Flexible time schedules

Nice instructors, small groups for lessons.

Friendly staff!

I appreciate the variety, but sometimes the schedule does not align with the actual programs.
I have driven to Botetourt for a specific class, only for it to be cancelled or a different class entirely.

The professionalism of the Director Brandon, His compassion and patience for and with the young and older is the best I've encountered. He goes above and beyond. What started out as a bad experience turned out for the good all because of Brandon's guidence. Thank you!

Cleanliness

The variety

Varied programs offered at many different times.

I love all the field trips and that the staff is all good in their own ways with the children

Love the Les Mills classes, but not the pre-recorded videos. Would like more full length classes of Body Balance - most of them are shortened and leave out the pilates, so I am not getting the full workout that I need.

Love the Les Mills live classes and the variety offered

We love how devoted the coaches are to your kids progress!!

People are nice. Easy to get in and out. Beautiful, clean facilities.

We loved the day camp! All the themed weeks, field trips and activities.

I love how diverse the people are and that everyone feels welcome. When the teens are being loud teens, they are welcome, even as YMCA staff encourages them to be mindful of other people. I love that many types of socioeconomic people use the facility. I love the community feel of it.

Zumba and the pool/hot tub

Most involved with Sara's Group yoga class (M,T,Thurs). One of the best in my history of yoga practice.

Love the group exercise sessions and instructors

The semi private classes, the instructor

Good for the kids
