I would like to see a different level yoga class offered. The ones I have gone to are attended by mostly elderly women and so are slower & more restorative poses. Would you consider adding a yoga class that is geared more towards athletes?
I have taken spin classes for years. I am not a fan of the fusion classes where you bike only about 20 minutes and then do some other exercise for 20 minutes. If I wanted weight training, I go to a weight traning class. Only 20 minutes of bike is not worth my while to get dressed and make the trip to the Y. I would like to see a sipn class about 9 or 10 am without the fusion.
Also I just started piclkeball. I would like to see some times set aside in late afternoon or night during the week. The Friday night session is too crowed for me. I know Kirk has started some mid day sessions and Botetourt has a couple night sessions. the 7:30 am and 8:00 am is a little too early for me.
Once you join, you can take advantage of tons of different activities and classes.
I like the he class that I am in i like the instructor im meeting new people i just enjoy everything
I love the different classes that I can attend. So many to choose from. The instructors are all awesome. The front desk staff greets everyone with a smile all the time. The place is very clean. I already referred 3 people since I starting coming in August so yes I love Salem Y! 😊
Clean environment and friendly staff
Candi Lucas is an excellent instructor, she makes everyone who attends feel good and part of the group.
The coffee room is another pleasant experience to " visit" with others.
The AOA luncheons are another plus the speakers we have recently had were spot on with their information.
Pleasant experiences with pleasant people!
Awesome instructors, great classes. Friendly staff who are there to help. Management goes above and beyond to listen to members. There’s no better facility in the valley than Salem YMCA.

The pool is great! The staff are so friendly!!
Very friendly instructors in adult group exercise. All the instructors are excellent. The members are also very friendly and approachable which results in a community-like atmosphere.
You consistently have the best instructors. I only do the aquatic classes, and they are the best! You always have great programs for kids and adults, with innovative ideas. I noticed the new one for parents and preschoolers, aqua yoga, how unique!!! I just love the Y and the staff at the front desk are the greatest.
