Good hours. Friendly staff.
No one specific thing, the overall Y experience is wonderful. I do, however, like the pool and jacuzzi the best
Very friendly staff. Instructors are well trained
I enjoy the water fit glasses by Kim And Sherry. I haven’t been able to go to chair yoga or AOA classes since the time changed from 11 am to noon. I hope they will be changed back to 11 am.
I also would love to see another water fitness eventing class.
The availability of a broad range of facilities (pools, courts, exercise equipment).
Convenient in and out
We love the programming, the facility and the people working. Everyone is so kind, helpful and treats you like family. My kiddo loves hanging out in childwatch making new friends. I’m grateful for all that the Y has to offer me and my family.
Friendly environment, pretty clean. Wish there were more NuSteps. With only two…and being that that’s all I can do…its sometimes inconvenient to get on the machine.
I love the people that I have met and I also love the pool exercises that we do each week.
The instructors are engaging and the workouts are challenging.
The staff is always so nice and helpful, I love my YMCA and am very thankful it’s here and that I can be a part of it. God Bless the YMCA
The staff was friendly and very helpful, and the facility was clean with ample workout areas. Personal trainers were available if needed, and the pool was large and functional. The only downside is when multiple people share the pool lanes, which can get crowded. Overall, I enjoy the Y and highly recommend it. The value is excellent, and the monthly fee offers great value for what you receive.
I go to the Y to work out; there is plenty of equipment and space to complete my workout. I rarely have to wait for equipment to be available. There are numerous spaces, including machines on the first floor, the track over the gym and two different rooms as well as a few other spaces that are well-equipped on the second floor.
Also, the staff members are all friendly, professional and eager to help. I can always count on a welcoming greeting and a friendly face at the front desk. I look forward to saying hello to them and feel like I know several of them personally.
As a retired senior, I also find the Y an affordable option.
Finally, I like supporting an organization that is an important pillar of the community. The Y has programming that meets community needs. As a member, I appreciate being able to support this.

Staff, Programs and the interaction with members and staff
Water aerobics is a great workout for me.
I have a issue though, I don't know if anyone is complaining but it is freezing in the locker rm. I have a head cold right now. You come out of the pool and then you hit
The shower and locker rm 🥶
Active Older Adults, led by Lynda Scott. Attending this class, plus Lynda’s functional stretch class, for the past few years, first at the Birmingham location and now in Royal Oak (though sadly not the stretch class), has improved my quality of life.
It’s wonderful but as you leave the women’s room to hang your towel and go towards the room with the showers there is a step up and over a tiled step and as you are going to the pool you can’t see that it drops down. Hope this makes sense. But it’s kind of dangerous. Thanks
Going to the Y makes me feel strong. It's fun to try different exercises. My body feels better and I feel more confident.
I LOVE LOVE Lisa’s water classes. I LOVE the Wednesday water dance class (any chance you can make that 2x week? The front desk staff is sooo friendly and helpful.
Enjoy the classes in the gym at 9:00
