They have something for the whole family to get into and have a pleasant time
I like the variety of classes offered; the instructors are great. I like having access to various exercise machines. The people working there are kind and helpful. It’s a great place to make friends of all ages!!
the instructors
Love the group exercise classes. Most of the instructors are very accommodating
I like the variety of classes, and also the opportunity for the whole family to be able to attend the YMCA at the same time. Moms and dads can work out while their kids are taken care of. Or the whole family can go swim together. The locker rooms are nice, as well.
The Prayer Request Cards.

Classes
Kids love them!
The staff sells the Y. Your front desk folks are smiling and welcoming and helpful and all the "trainers" appear extremely capable.
My wife and I are particularly pleased with Sara E. She exhibits an amazingly upbeat personality and sense of caring for each individual in her classes.
We all choose the activities that are special to us and encourage us to be regular and faithful. In our case the YOGA and Stretch classes and Sara E. are number one!
I love group exercise! It’s not only a great way to get or stay in shape- with such a variety of classes- but it’s a wonderful social outlet as well!
I use the free weights during my lunch break.
Gym area is cleaned regularly and equipment is very good. Staff is friendly.
Variety of offerings, all ages, many subjects
Qualified staff members, also courteous and helpful
Reasonable dues
I enjoy the swimming and hot tub facilities. The workout area for the weights is very nice. There are a couple things that could be addressed. Maintaining the chlorine/cleanliness of the hot tub would be one. The levels are very inconsistent and some days it is so high it burns your eyes. It would be nice if they had a heavy bag for those that do boxing/mma type workouts, most gyms have one and doesn't require that much space. Locker rooms could be maintained a little more in regards to cleanliness. The old janitor (Matt) did a great job until they got rid of him. Overall it is a very nice facility. I'm not sure of the other programs or activities offered since I just use the gym and aquatic area but the facility seems to offer a lot for people in general.I enjoy coming here. I went to the Salem YMCA and didn't the same "good vibe or energy" as going to the Kirk Family YMCA as odd as that may seem.
I love the classes provided in the studios and the child care is great so I can enjoy my classes without worry.
My kids come back every day telling me every second of what they did and jumping out of bed to come back. When I do pick them up they tell me to come back later cause they don't want to leave.
I like that the programs and activities are included in the membership fees. Instructors are knowledgable, and the classes/programs are not intimidating = regardless of ability.
Diversity and good vibes
There is a great diversity of programs and activities!
You have such an incredible variety of programs and the facility is amazing. The instructors are so upbeat and fun to work with.
Have really enjoyed the yoga classes. Great teachers. Y staff are friendly and helpful.
Lots of variety and the instructors I've had in classes have been very good.
I like the mission of the Y and the dedication of the staff to that mission.
Les Mills is AWESOME :)
Lots to choose from!
Classes and swimming pool
I love the fit trainers, the facilities, the hours!
I love the boot camp program and miss it. Hope you bring it back. Something to think about. GreenRidge Rec Center doesn't charge members for boot camp.
I also like the classes- Body pump and the others
Instructors are great
The class instructors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Their attitude makes working out enjoyable.
