Member Testimonials
Very helpful kind and friendly and very clean facilities
Everybody was very friendly and helpful and efficient!
The gym is great. I did not like the fact that for a woman to use the pool, the person must go up and down stairs while wet (showering before entry into the pool and returning after using the pool).
Great pool friendly staff very involved in the community.
One platform has multiple activity that helps to be everybody wellness
The convenience of being located in downtown Detroit, the cleanliness of the center, especially the pool, and the friendliness of the staff.
Addressing senior classes. Wish the instructor would address the class at the beginning of each new enrollment period so newbies are brought up to speed as what the class will encompass and answer questions/concerns in partaking in class.
The feeling of belonging to a very diverse community as well as the cleanliness and well equipped facilities

I enjoy the Senior aerobics and Zumba,
Great facility overall. Please, for the love of god, put some of the ellipticals on the top floor! It is so loud in the basketball gym. Not fun to work out on an elliptical with 10 basketballs pounding on the floor and 20 people screaming just a few feet away!
I like the convenience of the location. But the quality of the trainers and instructors is top-notch. This is an affordable place to work And make great friends there this is a community of healthy people who enjoy being with each other.
friendliness, shared interests, safe
Staff are friendly and helpful. As a senior, Y provides the proper exercises.
I have enjoyed the Y for many years. I appreciate a variety of group classes during the early morning, afternoon, and evening time. I wish there were a few more pilates classes on a Wednesday or Thursday morning. More pool hours would be helpful, especially the lap pool.
I wish the Boll YMCA had a parking lot or a parking solution for their members.
I have always been a fan of the Y! It provided camps for my son when he was younger and it has been a great place to work out for me with many options of classes. I am still a firm believer that this is a wonderful place
Enjoy classes and seeing friends there! Do not close this center!
The teachers, the classes, the front desk staff
Well equipped facility and friendly people.
I only go to use the pool but I love going, I feel so good when I leave there. I've met some really nice people there so far. I'm glad I joined.
I love the variety of exercise programs. I also appreciate the fact that the instructors give us modifications due to our different health issues. It is a great place to meet new friends and
They have so many social activities. They are very active in the community as well
It is local-near my home. It is meticulously kept clean. They offer a nice workout area with
all the latest equipment and all the equipment is always maintained and operating.
The staff is friendly and helpful. It is reasonably priced and my health insurance covers
it for seniors. They offer a nice variety of classes that is included in your membership.
Great place for seniors.
My chair yoga class with Pat. She is an excellent teacher and stresses proper form, which I really appreciate.
What I don't appreciate is when we have a new student and she spends tons of time speaking with and showing that student what to do. At times that takes a few minutes, while the rest of the class stands around waiting/talking. I understand helping new students individually but sometimes it's extreme.
good facility; friendly staff at front desk; comfortable lockers and shower
Clean, friendly, and great place to work out at. Love the classes!
I really like the classes that are offered. I love my senior class and especially the instructor and the participants!
