Times it’s open and the amount of equipment
What I like best is that it is a lot of activities to participate in for working out.
Multiple options for exercise; community involvement, welcoming the community, family oriented, child watch
Love and enjoy all classes I have been attended in the past 5 years, Zumba Gold, Zumba, Dance Fitness, and Silversneakers.
These instructors really make my day, every day of the week.
Facility is clean. Staff is helpful and friendly.
I love the staff and the instructors! Everyone is so nice and welcoming! The best part is that the Y has child watch during the work out class times so I can take many classes! Thank you!

Close to home
This YMCA is fortunate to be the only one in Michigan with the EGYM system. Many classes offered.
One complaint - the locker room shower stalls and walls are not cleaned of scum build-up or sanitized. Are the locker room floors sanitized?
I love the pleasant atmosphere and the EGym.
The fitness classes are excellent during the day! However, for those of us who work during the day, I feel that there are very few class offerings in the evening. There is only one night of cardio on Monday. The weightlifting is too basic in the evening. I would appreciate cardio at 5:45 pm or 6:30. 6:40 is getting late for those of us who get up at 5am, like teachers.
I love the Y, but very disappointed in the evening class offerings.
People are very friendly.
Good facility, friendly, helpful staff

I like the pool hours and the staff of our local YMCA.
Yoga classes
The convenient location and several swim classes.
Friendly staff
Very good and challenging aerobics/weight lifting class for seniors.
Clean and fun
Great exercise classes for all ages and many non exercise but enrichment classes for kids.
I like the instructors commitment to the Y members
What I love most about the Birmingham YMCA is the people. I am part of the Tuesday/Thursday Aerobic Swimming class. We have a great time & are keeping our bodies strong & working. Average age of our class members/friends is 60 -80+. I have had multiple back surgeries & a Beck surgery in the past 10-15 years & am convinced that the aerobic swim & the socialization has helped me to keep moving well & emotionally stronger. The thought of this activity "going away" is startling & disappointing. The only thing I would correct is to have correspondence between the Aquatic Mgr. & the swimmers be more direct& we NOT NEED to go on an app to find if there is a change or cancelation in the swim schedule. We are not "internet dependant" for our interaction with others. A single, group email alert from the Mgr. on closings of the pool or schedule changes should not depend on our having to go to the Y app. I consistently recommend the Birmingham YMCA to friends encouraging them to join & improve their physical & mental health.
I love going to the Detroit YM.C.A the only problem is parking. Some days I cannot attend because I cannot find a parking spot.
