YES,
The S.O. YMCA is a great place ! For our health, with your great instructors, and the friends we make there.
Yet, we STILL have to shower with mature, large DRAIN FLIES. I smashed 2 in the last week ! Faucets and shower heads that need to be scrubbed to remove GREEN CORROSION! MANY of the (pool area )saftey stair strips NEED to be reaplaced for both men's and women. Very Dangerous & Slippery
ALL of us are disappointed in the lack of concern for our saftey the Royal Oak Y.
These are easy, inexpensive fixes...!
I love the diverse community and all the various conversations I have with the people there. Love that its downtown. Great, attentive interactive staff.
It’s a place of many activities for all ages! Love the staff. Very friendly!

One suggestion… have more tall lockers in the locker room.
EGym & Active Older Adults have helped me to incorporate exercise in my daily living.
Whenevere we come across a problem, Jamie and Rebecca and Cameron are there to help us. ai love palying pickleball and swimming. Thnings have been just great.
Thank you for your help!
People are very friendly. The pool and hot tub are fantastic. Lots of room in the locker area, and if you want a standard workout, plenty to do upstairs.
The staff is amazing! The Center's equipped with all of the tools I need for an exceptional workout. I love the Y's involvement with youth and the community
The facility and staff are awesome…
Everything
The pool is great! Lisa teaches aqua deep on Tuesdays and Thursdays - she is engaging, encouraging, and has built a supportive community. Erin is a fantastic guard and leader - she models the professional and kind behavior that the guards can emulate. Jack at the front desk greets people by name and is very solution oriented. Alyssa teaches total body conditioning on Monday and Wednesday mornings. She is very welcoming and really understands the needs of the people in the room and offers feedback and options so all levels get the most out of the class. So many great people taking care of us members!
It’s a real toss up!
