Member Testimonials
I like everything about the Y. it covers all the bases in regards to what my expectations are for a top notch family oriented health and wellness facility.
Excellent pool staff!
I really love the Zumba, Aqua Zumba, Zumba Gold, Chair Zumba, Mixxfit, Forever Fit, Chair Yoga, and the special paint nights. The instructors and the participants are so friendly, and many have become my friends! When I enter the facility, and when I leave, the desk staff are also so friendly and welcoming!!!
After being a member for over 5 years I literally have only 1 complaint. Not enough flat benches for bench pressing. Everything else about the Y, from the staff, to the amenities to the child watch has been absolutely amazing
Your adult pool classes
Everyone is respectful; they wear their masks and keep needed distance. We would like to see more care given to cleaning of equipment. We’ve noted several times the attendants putting the cone in the floor without cleaning the equipment.
everyone is welcomed.
Joined the Kirk YMCA in 2003. I am in my 80s now, I like to keep strong. Early on I attended many different classes.
Now I particularly like Sarah's class "For Ever Fit" and Leah's "Chair Zumba" to keep a strong posture.
I understand that it is difficult to please everyone.
The staff is very helpful, I admire their helpfulness, especially during "Covid restrictions when many people are short tempered.
I would like to see more face coverings among the patrons.
I mostly use the track, but I appreciate the access to the pool and free weights. Your efforts to keep members and staff safe and healthy are commendable.
I feel confident using the pool even under the circumstances, because I can see that staff and members are taking health seriously.
Group ex classes / instructors are great! Also nice to have access to a knowledgeable and affordable personal trainer
I have enjoyed the Y for almost 50 years. I have developed a number of close friendships with staff and fellow members. Thus, I enjoy every visit - usually at least twice a week during this pandemic, and 3-5 visits a week pre-pandemic. I jog when the weather permits, then use the machines and weights in the Wellness Center in an effort to stay fit and healthy - an increasingly difficult task as I age! The Y has been a real plus in my life, and I will continue to visit as long as this old body permits. Thanks for being there.
It is important to me that the Y represents the rich diversity of Roanoke and is welcoming to all. I also like the outstanding instructors who teach the classes I participate in (water aerobics, Forever Fit/Chair Yoga).
I absolutely love Aqua Zumba and Andrea as well as the child watch program both of which I use/participate in frequently.
Able to come in and use the machines and some classes are still available on FB.
