Member Testimonials
I enjoy the water exercise opportunities and the variety of classes in the pool.
Love the water programs
I have been a member of the YMCA for about 25 years here in the valley. I have enjoyed every moment, I am a swimmer and the swimming pools have always been top notch. The scheduling has always been accommodating to my schedule. I will be 80 years old this year and hope to be part of Salem YMCA for years to come Thank you for being here. First name removed F.

I like that there is something for all ages and abilities. I don't ever feel judged. Even my grandkids love Y Town and the Teen Center. The place is also spotless. Please give my appreciation to the ones that keep the place looking so nice.

AOA luncheons, ( good job Amanda!!). Aquamore classes ( Thanks Candi and Susan!!)
It's nice to visit with folks in the coffee room. Will we no longer need personal ceramic mugs?
I like swimming laps in the cool pool.
Clean!!! The building is so well maintained!!! It doesn't hurt that the people who work there are super nice!
Friendly, helpful staff, that encourages me to try to improve my strength.
From the time you enter the facility until you leave the staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The facility is clean and the view from the wellness center is amazing. Like that you can reserve a lane for swimming or a spot in a class. Wish there was a room designated for stretching.

Convenience
Body Pump and cycling with Kate is so much fun! She is always well prepared to teach. I also appreciate how the facility is kept clean.
So many options—from classes to weight room to pool. A great place to work out and also meet friends!!
We enjoy everything with the YMCA
i mostly use and enjoy the lap pool.

I really love the nearly-renovated ladies locker room. Also as an early morning lap
swimmer, I’m disappointed with the large group of swimmers from Roanoke College in the pool most mornings. Three lanes for Y patrons is not many.
