Member Testimonials
They are easy to get involved in. The early morning classes are a little challenging but otherwise everything is great. The staff is super friendly always.
I have only experienced the water aerobics class and it is quite enjoyable. The participants are friendly and the instructor is quite good.
I really like the diversity of health related activity's and resources the Y has. Swimming, sauna, weight training, group exercise...
Nice place to relax and exercise
I just like the facility, with good workout room and great view of the valley. Have been a member since 2003.
Enjoy the water arobics.
Great pool for working out.
New treadmills are fantastic.
I've been a member for almost 5 months and I love how friendly everyone is even the members.
Personal contact with the trainers. Happy, clean environment.
I like the activity room for kids but I wish children had more respect for what they are offered. The equipment, especially the air hocky, is in disrepair and often broken.
Good instructors for Aqua Barr and Hydro Pilates! Facility is clean and staff friendly.
I don't come much to Salem, usually go to Kirk when I go. I like the Senior luncheons when I can attend them. Like the water aerobics.
I like the Zumba classes and I like the teacher

Great cardio class
Good programs, variety of offerings, convenient hours, nice facility, great instructors, family-oriented atmosphere, and friendly staff!
I am involved in the Aquatics programs and the Salem YMCA offers many different water classes that can appeal to a variety of interests. These water classes plus several land classes (chair yoga, chair aerobics) are wonderful for senior members. In addition, our Salem YMCA leadership is very receptive to member suggestions and to always trying to make our Salem Y better. We in Salem are very lucky to have such a wonderful facility with wonderful people leading it.
Great instructors and facilities. So glad you have a pool!!
A wide variety of group classes and the instructors are great.
I particularly like Susan and Dutchie.
Pool, gym and wellness center
I only use the wellness room (weights and bikes) and don't really have a chance to participate in the programs/activities, but it's a great place to work out.
Friendly place with good variety of classes and great instructors
Lots of programs and great staff.
Clean facilities, friendly staff
The Salem Y is the cleanest, most involved family friendly location in the Roanoke Valley.
Well rounded program for all ages.
I love the group exercise classes and all the instructors! The instructors really make an effort to know the people in their classes which makes it more comfortable and inviting!
I enjoy all the group classes that Janni teaches. She is fun, safe, knows everyone's name and she truly cares. I hope you will share this with Janni and her supervisor. She deserves kutos. Go Janni!!.
I would not go to this location if it were not for Janni. I live closer to another location but travel further just to attend her classes and I know that many others in the classes feel the same way.
Thank you so much for asking. I love the Salem Y.
