Member Testimonials
I like the classes and instructors. It makes exercising so much fun. The Y has a family atmosphere.
I like the variety of programs. And the openness of the gym.
I only use the fitness room but I love the great equipment and fabulous views from the room and the fact that the facility is always so clean . Traci Williams is great as are all of the fitness room staff and in particular Greg . I also like the fact that the coffee room is available if needed and that there is a Roanoke Times to read . I also love the Front Desk staff in the mornings and Delaney is especially kind and helpful . Keep up the great work !
Great people and welcoming staff.
You could do a much better job of including in your monthly schedule ALL activities that would impact "free swim", especially in the family pool!
The kids have fun and the parents get to work out with peace of mind.
All the different classes and opportunities to do different things.
The swimming programs are great.
Love my GoLo class!
I'm not that active myself but I've always been pleased with what interactions I've had.
The Y has some amazing teachers. A great teacher can make or break a class. The fit for life teachers are very well trained and have very pleasing personalities.
The wellness area is clean and appealing. I cannot say the same for the family pool. The lighting is ineffectual and the low ceilings make it hard to hear the instructors because of all the echoing. I started going to the Kirk for any water classes because the ceilings there are high and the lighting is great. I also think it is important to have trained and certified teachers leading the water classes. The teacher on Monday is friendly and kind, but is not trained and I can really tell the difference. The YMCA should not be hiring teachers who are not professional in their field.

I love the set up, the trainers and weight center workers are knowledgeable and helpful. A comfortable environment with enough equipment that you don’t have long waits to get your workout done. Love it here!
