Member Testimonials
I like the fact that there are lots of activities to choose from, various programs and scheduled classes, lots of lap pool time, and every kind of weight machine and cardiovascular machine available. I also like the fact that the Y does so many activities for kids, and there are lots of mentors for people who are physically or mentally challenged.
You have a wonderful Stay and Play! We love the outdoor play area and your friendly, clean environment. From swimming to the yoga classes - it's a great way to stay healthy while having fun!
Variety classes, in door pool, racket room, sanua, steam room and hit tub, and staff and instructors good
Morning basketball.
I like that you are open early in the morning as that is the time I like to exercise. I like your walking track and I also use some of the machines. I exercise with a friend, but I have also met some very nice people there.
The Y is very family friendly and offers many great exercise options!

Awesome, inspiring trainers. Lots of activities for kids. Beautiful, light-filled space.
The thing i most appreciate about the Kirk Family YMCA is the programs and health-related services it affords members of Roanoke's local community.
Convient, members and instructors
All of them
Love the access to racquetball courts. Love that classes are offered and the friendly staff.
Amazing child care and classes
There are just a lot of various kinds of classes available and it's great for a family to choose from. I like the four bikes with the virtual courses. Another member likes the swimming classes.
Excellent staff and teachers!
The hispanic-looking Membership Director seems very unapproachable... not sure if it's the dark eyebrows or what.
There is a variety of programs and activities occurring all year so there is much to choose from. Additionally, the coaches are professional yet approachable and easy for the children to relate to. They display the "patience of Job" even when they have to say the same thing multiple times or the children are not necessarily listening or on their best behavior. (LOL)
I also appreciate the detailed information available and provided far enough in advance to check family/school schedules and make a decision. The quality of each program is good and the fees seem reasonable based on what I've observed at other facilities.
Soccer has just begun and Josh and Kailey are doing a fabulous job with that.
The swimming coaches are very good too though I don't know all the names. There have been multiple ones helping the 5:45 class so these is less continuity there but even with that, the instruction seems to be of quality. My granddaughter First name removed has learned a lot and LOVES to swim now. Hard to imagine that only last year, she was quite a bit more timid in the water. (Thanks to Emma, Forrest, Sam, Phoebe - and others, sorry I don't know all the names). To that note, that is a newer young man (Asian) that is helping now and he is also awesome but don't know his name.
We also take advantage of the summer camp and after school program.
Thanks for all you do - keep up the good work!! We love the Y!
Great pool and lifeguards

PAUL JONES CLASSES
I generally avail myself to regular work out for myself only.
It’s welcoming, fun, clean and has good parking. It is also wonderful and helpful that accommodations for people with disabilities are made - both financial and physical.
Everything
Sondy is great at helping you.

You have such a great variety of things to do. Wish you did have more afternoon water classes. Alot of times I'm not able to come those days. But Thank You for all the choices.
