Member Testimonials
Dedicated instructors make for good outcomes. (But would like to see improvements in searching for and registering for classes. After putting a class in the cart, it isn't easy to find and put the next selection in the cart.)
Enjoy the classes
My children are able to make friends and socialize while getting in some playtime.
Welcoming staff. Clean facility. Professional pool guards. Excellent experience all around.
The lifeguards and instructors were great with the kids, and extremely professional. We plan on enrolling again.
The staff is friendly and welcoming to everyone. Very positive experience unlike the experience I had at a different location.
I love the water aerobics and exercise classes in the gym. I also have made many friends over the years.
Love the programs, instructors and people.
Location and variety of classes
Variety of classes and services offered.
Friendly staff. Convenience for my family.
The teachers and people in the class are so kind and inclusive! It is a great way to build community while getting exercise in.
For the past three years there has been a problem with the air conditioning in the workout rooms. And we have been given the same excuse every year! It should not take three years to get it fixed! Poor management in my opinion! So no right now I would not recommend the Y to anyone! It is not safe to workout in these conditions.
Thank you for fixing the HVAC for mens and Studio B. Pool looks crystal clear.
What I liked best about my YMCA experience was the welcoming and family-oriented atmosphere. The YMCA provided a safe and supportive environment for my children and our family. I especially appreciated the programs and activities that encouraged personal growth, healthy living, and community involvement. The staff were always friendly and helpful, making our experience enjoyable and memorable.
As well, I liked best about our YMCA experience was the positive impact it had on my two sons. The YMCA gave them opportunities to participate in sports, develop friendships, and learn valuable life skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. We have always felt like part of a caring community, and I am grateful for the memories and experiences we have shared through the YMCA.

I mostly use the group fitness classes. Some major improvements have been made and improved the experience greatly:
New instructors so that classes are less likely to be canceled.
Monthly signups in the app that are predictable and easy.
New oscillating fans in the cycling room.
Microphones for instructors should they choose to use them.
Friday Body Pump returned (yay)
My kids really enjoyed it and hope to do more.
My kids look forward to it and hope to be on a swim team someday.
We love all the activities to help our whole family stay healthy while having fun!
There is a lot of activity you can sign up for.
I love it!!!!! Lisa is Amazing!!!! It's always clean and fresh. I try to come as much as I can although the pool is often too cold....
It was free which helps families to become acquainted with the services and facility.
The kids at the desk always greet me with a smile. The instructors are very efficient, they pay close attention to each person in the class. Helping us to be our best each day, no matter what energy we have that day 😊
The variety of classes makes going to workout easier.
I have recommended the Y to my friends.
The staff is incredible overall....friendly and helpful.....I have trained with Mark Losinski in several personal training classes, along with being active in his Rock Steady boxing classes. Mark is passionate about helping others...he explains why we do what we do.....he makes classes fun too. In several personal training sessions with Mark, I was always grateful for his explanations of what exercises helped different parts of the body. The Macomb YMCA is very lucky to have someone as knowledgeable as he is.
Love the carls YMCA. Great facility and trainers and instructors!!
The community, the family feeling.
Good equipment
The facilities are great and the staff are even better; they are helpful and friendly
Love all the zumba, zumba gold, dance fitness, and silversneakers classes so much.
Jighly recommend to my family and friends
The Y is clean, light, comfortable, and well appointed to work on my body. The machines are usually kept in good repair, and the staff cleans daily. My trainer Colin Parks, is wonderful. He is patient, kind, and knowledgeable about health challenges. He is constantly providing us with novel ways to reach our exercise goals.

Lisa is an amazing instructor and has built a positive and supportive community. Aqua Deep is my favorite class!
