Member Testimonials
There is a lot to like at the Y. However, I believe what it is that I like best is the tradition.
I have a very fond memory of my dad telling me stories of when he was a young boy and how much fun he had at the YMCA in Detroit. I find it very telling that all these decades later the Y is still thriving and so many people are still enjoying it, just like my dad did.
I'd be remiss if I did not also mention the feeling I get when I walk into Y. It is unpretentious and somehow very calming. Yet at the same time there's a great energy and it's a very supportive place to be. No matter your age or interests, there are numerous options in regard to classes and fitness levels. I enjoy it thoroughly and would recommend it to anyone!

Your group exercise instructors are really good.
Wonderful classes and instructors!
Teachers are patient and knowledgeable. They make the young swimmer feel safe in the water.
Engaging and well-trained wellness staff. Great yoga, barre, and group weight training classes. Better informed instructors. You will see results in strength, fitness and flexibility at the Y. Better than the results you might see at other "high end" clubs. Yeah. Really.
Our teachers for chair yoga and the senior exercise class that follows on Tuesday and Thursday mornings are exceptional. My docs love what I am doing and I have learned so much . Many of the exercises we have done and are doing are featured on social media and magazines as particularly helpful to keep us seniors healthy. I hope that when NEXT takes over, they will partner with United Healthcare, Blue Cross, Silver Sneakers, and other health care services to pay for these programs and others.
The pool is well maintained. The lifeguards are super professional and friendly. I mainly joined for the water and this is great!
Love it. It’s great. And staff is very helpful and friendly.
Would be great if they opened earlier. I think there is a lot of demand to give people a place to exercise earlier in the morning. Even a 15 or 30 minute earlier opening time would make a huge difference.
I've made a lot of new friends, the staff is very nice and helpful, the classes are great, the availability of the pool is wonderful, and the equipment is very good as well.
Great classes and nice people
They have great senior classrs
Enjoy the classes myself. Each of the instructors are enthusiastic and their classes are engaging.
Workout is great. I wish they offered Barre at south Oakland as well. Love the instructor and room is perfect for barre.
I really enjoy this Y. The value for money is outstanding and the classes and facilities are really good and clean.
Have already told friends. Less expensive than Bloomfield Twp. Facility. Flavia an excellent trainer.
The coach is good
Love it. Great leadership as far as customer service. They accommodate guests when the requests are reasonable. They have no ambition as far as sales which makes it a very comfortable environment for customers. I just worry about their longevity not being assertive to grow memberships but hey keep it slow in there i love not waiting to get on machines I like.
I’ve been to the facility Downtown Detroit, and I had a very good experience. Also I had a pleasant conversation with your customer service representative. The YMCA is closed by where I reside.
The sauna was operational.
Great classes and instructors, friendly staff, meeting new people.
All of the classes and friendly staff
