Member Testimonials
It’s clean with friendly people
I like it because it is quite, the other gyms have music playing so loud it hurts my ears. I like the quite and that it's not crowded.
Extremely nice place and staff members.
Very good trainers getting our rates up
Welcoming staff, exercise machines are wonderful ( love the egym). Only complaint is the pool water too warm for early morning swimmers and the water is always cloudy
The people who work there are welcoming.
I enjoy much about the experience at the Y. Its everlasting ability to evolve through generations to produce energy need to sustain hope is underrated.
I have participated with programs at the Y decades ago, and the memories have brought me back to share the old ways through a new generation distracted by technological advances to shape a new world through your facilities.
Thank you!
Friendly, clean, working with the training was very helpful.
I love the EGYM and the Tuesday senior mobility class with Jim.
I have a suggestion-please consider adding another bike rack. I’m a bike rider and lately the only bike rack is often full.
Thank you!

I only go to the therapy pool so far and all is fine.

I love the friendly staff. The clean facility. I started in May doing water aerobics and have 4 people to join in with me. I've been encouraging everyone I know to join. Lisa is a fantastic water aerobics teacher and Janet is a phenomenal swim instructor. The Y has changed my life!

great instructer
Complete facility and friendly Y team!
The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I am on a very tight budget and the family package price for me is very high but is totally worth it. There are so many different activities for my children to do and they love every bit of it. I also love that they have free childcare so that I can also exercise/ workout for 2 hours everyday if I wanted to. The location is perfect, parking lot is huge. Even the play equipment outside is fun for my children.

All employees that I have encountered are very
nice, personable and efficient. They displayed very good customer service.
I really like belonging to the Y in downtown Detroit. I use my membership for lifting weights and working out, and that floor is always clean and organized and the people who work there are very nice and pleasant to interact with.
The thing that I most appreciated was having a staff member give me a guided tour of the facility and to take the time to review with me the printed roster of classes. She additionally offered me suggested classes based on my goals and preferences. I couldn't ask for a better introduction to the South Oakland YMCA. .
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Been coming here for years. It's a great place to exercise.
My family has been going to the Y for years. The instructors are helpful and encouraging. The people that belong to the Y are friendly too! It’s a feel good place. Would like to see more variety of classes though.
I take 2 sets of classes, water aerobics and balance classes. Excellent content and instructors.
My experience at the YMCA has been very positive. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help when needed.
I also appreciate the variety and quality of the exercise equipment, which is well maintained and easy to use. The facility is clean, comfortable, and provides a safe and positive environment for working out.
Overall, I enjoy coming to the YMCA because of the great staff, good equipment, and friendly atmosphere.
