Variety
Racquetball courts.
The members and the instructors are great.
Why haven"t we ever been introduce to the director of our great "Y"?
I enjoy the track and the weight room, especially the dedicated track at the Kirk facility. The Salem pool, however, has an incomparable view!
I don't take any classes currently but I am trying to get in the habit of going to the Y more often. I wish that some of the equipment was spread out some more - maybe not to the extent that it was during the "worse part" of Covid, but since it's still lurking....I hate getting on an elliptical that is 4 feet away from someone breathing hard on another elliptical.
I absolutely loved having equipment in the hallways....Just sayin. Nice to have options even though I am vaccinated.
Thank you.
As a senior citizen, I like the programs/activities for my age group
I like the programs. The only issue that I have involves the hot tub. The sign with the rules for the Hot Tub does not require the users to shower before entering and to wear appropriate swim attire. The lap pool has both of these requirements. The Hot Tub sign should include them. I have seen people get into the tub with dirty street clothes as if they were using the hot tub as a washing machine. Also, people will get into the tub all sweaty and dirty after working out or playing basket ball. You would think that they would shower but they don't. I have raised this issue with previous management for several years. I even offered to donate $500 to the Y if they would correct the sign. Prior to the pandemic, they said that they ordered the sign but it was never hung. I would be happy to donate $500 if the sign is revised to contain these two items along with the current items.
Wonderful facility, amazing staff, great variety of classes.
Love the classes and instructors. Especially the HITT class on Tues/Thursdays. It's like doing group training. I have become friends with the people in my class
Love the Mixxedfit and Zumba classes and the instructors for these classes!! Also, the staff at the check-in counter are very friendly and encouraging to members entering and leaving the facility.

Everything it great
Convenient
Friendly helpful staff
Clean roomy facility
Varied offerings
Special classes for older or beginning folks
I like the variety of equipment and classes ordered.
I enjoy the Forever Fit class under Sara. The exercise is moderate and gentle for the elderly. Sara is a wonderful instructor, sometimes lots of talking is going on during the exercise. Music is good. It seems like the group enjoys talking. It does'nt bother me. Just an observation since I'm new. I used to go to Carilion Wellness.
I just started and will continue to learn some of the activities suited for my age.
I noticed not enough staff to show me how to used some equipment in the gym.
The classes with Sara Early.
Love the 8 am pool offerings!, people on entry always smile & welcome
the overall convenience in exercising in all areas
Love the group exercise classes! Love that there are new classes to try like Power Yoga.
