Member Testimonials
Very organized! Very clean! I love working with Angie in the Dance program. She is always friendly and willing to help in any way. Since we are loosing Rob at Botetourt maybe Angie could be in charge of the dance program. We need a woman!!!
I take water aerobics on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. All three trainers are different, but very effective in how they teach this class. Dorothy is great, Candy is great, and we all love Johnnie. Johnnie makes all of have fun in this class while doing a great job in giving us our training session. I highly recommend the Y to everyone!
You can thank Carol Dotson for getting me involved in this program. I have been through a lot personally, both physically and mentally. She said I really needed the Y and she was right.
Please take the time to thank all of my instructors and Carol Dotson. All are great people representing the Salem YMCA!

The variety of options!
I like the facilities and the employees support
Very responsive. My son enjoys the program and field trips. The additional snow day coverage is a great help. All teachers are very personable and know my son.
The communication is great, my kids love it, drop off and pick up times fit my schedule, and they come home tired everyday.
My child loves the field trips and the swimming the most!
Classes & instructors are great. BUT - disappointed to hear our hour barre classes are changing to 45 minutes. (Not sure if it affects other classes; hoping the Tuesday 9:15 BodyPump is staying at an hour!)
I swim and work out on my own and appreciate both the of the pools and the workout room.
We've enjoyed to activities being done and the staff are all very polite and helpful
My son has anxiety and usually a hard time transitioning to new activities/routines. All of the staff has been wonderful, accommodating, and very welcoming to our family. He has transitioned well, learning new things, and meeting new friends. Thank you for all you do!
They seem to keep the kids busy through the day, which is helpful. The staff seem to enjoy being there and my child really loves some of the girls. Ms. Maelin in particular. She is really good with my daughter. I love that the kids get to enjoy the pool or water activities instead of sitting inside all day. Recently the emails have not been very clear on what days the kids are doing what and there were several that needed to be sent out to clarify things. If anything could be better I would suggest double and triple checking email information and maybe using a different format to make the information more clear. Other than that, I really love this program as a whole and so does my child. Thank you so much for taking good care of all the kids there!
I like that there is enough variety to keep my son interested and engaged. He is happy to go each morning and happy when I pick him up each evening.
Great programs for all ages, great facilities and friendly knowledgeable staff.
