Member Testimonials
Really enjoy the classes,especially yoga!!
The people who work there--all of them.
It is clean, spacious, and the classes are great. Always plenty of parking too. I'm disappointed that this YMCA is closing, as it will make South Oakland even busier. I tried to sign up for a class at South Oakland and it was already full-- this never happens at Birmingham. I'm worried I'll have to cancel my membership as the Y will no longer have the options I need.
All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is like being at home.
Great senior exercise classes, warm and friendly atmosphere.
This is place where I met with many people.Who is became my friends.When l walk in to Y I emediatly fill a lot of energy .
The Birmingham MI YMCA has the training machines, the pool, the programs, the community mission, and the great employees that make this our second home in Birmingham!
The BIrmingham Y has been a part of our family life for several generations. It is so sad that the decision has been made to close this facility. It's difficult to believe that closing the Y was the only solution.
Friendly, fun time with great staff and participants in the swimming class on Tuesday & Thursday.
Friendly staff, great childcare, love the pool

Enjoy your group classes ,instructors, and hours of operations. I am always welcome with a smile and hello from your front desk.
The wonderful people I’ve met there!
The two women that helped me had all the answers and helped me through the process
Helpful is an understatement
The wonderful pool classes - Isaac is a great teacher and the atmosphere is so friendly!
Lynda! Her Active Adults and Stretch classes have helped me get some weight off and regain a sense of physical strength and wellbeing. She is an exceptional leader with a wealth of knowledge about muscles, ligaments, and movement. She has a large, loyal following and we hope the Birmingham Y can find a way to accommodate her classes next year when things change. I also appreciate the front desk staff and the Wellness Center, although I wish there were more recumbent bikes.
ACCESS TO A POOL FOR EXERCISE.
GREAT STAFF. ALWAYS FRIENDLY. ALWAYS HELPFUL. IF THEY DON'T KNOW SOMETHING THEY GET THE ANSWER.
Many exercise machines were available at the time of my workout visit.
Linda Scott's classes
I felt so welcomed when I first walked thru the doors. I want a clean and up to date place to work out and swim, I don’t want fancy and high priced gyms. This building screams family friendly.
The price point also made a difference. I belonged to the JCc for decades then when it closed I found the Bloomfield Hills Senior Center which was nice to take classes but didn’t have an open swim and each class had a cost. A friend told me about the YMCA so I took a look!
The staff.
The lifeguards are very friendly.
I love those classes and pool.
Friendly people and great instructors
The Birmingham YMCA is a great facility with a great staff.
I am especially impressed with the workout facility and the pool.
I am a member for over forty years and would REALLY MISS the Y if it should close, for whatever reason!
staff is super friendly and helpful. Gym is clean and i like the old school feel of it.
Great instructors, clean and well-run facility and friendly office staff.
You can feel the sense of community there.
Classes for seniors are appropriate to us. Friendly and helpful staff.
