so many things for the kids to try out and get involved with.

The swim classes have been great. Rachel has been a very thorough and engaging instructor. The women's locker room, shower and sauna is lore spacious than royal oak. The front desk staff are very welcoming.
The Silver Sneakers classes held on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays as well as the walking path on the second floor.

I enjoy the classes at the Y. The instructors are very good and very helpful. The workers at the front desk are always friendly and helpful.
The staff is helpful and the facility is clean.
I was looking for a place to take group exercise classes because I tend to be more motivated when other people are also working out.
I LOVE the group classes and there are really great instructors that lead them. The instructors are well trained and are able to adjust workouts to fit the person.
I really like Avery. She teaches a senior class and also teaches a HIIT & Core class that are really good (and really hard lol).
It has been a good decision to join.
Flexibility to work out in group classes or the Wellness Center.
The People I have met and the Instructors.

The friendly faces at the welcome center. The variety of class offerings. THe pool
Variation of classes, personality of instructors, support from class members…
i literally drive a little ways in order to take the pilates class. I truly enjoy the teacher and her teaching method.
I really enjoy the group classes.
Even though I don’t have any children, their childcare is available it offers weightlifting as well as a kickboxing or combat class on Saturdays
The program has helped both of my kids improve their overall comfort, safety and skill in the water! I appreciate how the kids are in the pool for the entire lesson given specific swim schools often make kids wait their turn by sitting out of the pool!
