Member Testimonials
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.
Location. Manageable size. Friendly staff and members.
The wonderful teachers and friendly staff
Pool
I like YMCA because I feel I live in a big family. Members do interact with each other as a family. In addition the management, the managers and the receptionists are very courteous and friendly ready to help. Thank you for your service. ❤️
The friends I have met & the staff.
Best pool locally. I can't imagine not having it.
The YMCA staff does an outstanding job. Great pool and other facilities.
The yoga class was good
Daytime classes for older adults. Friendly staff!
I love the sauna. It is close and clean.
Need more info or really ANY info on new ownership of the Y and what is going to happen to the building and the pool now that the city owns the building. There should be perhaps a monthly update message to members even if there is no news.
More pool time. More pool time. More pool time. Both Birmingham and Royal Oak pools are chronically jammed and more than 2 swimmers per lane is dangerous. I have been hit by others more than once and do not feel safe. Please find funds to pay lifeguards and qualified guards and expand pool hours. You are not serving the community effectively on either of these issues.
Flavia, my personal trainer. She is terrific.
The PEOPLE
I love my senior exercise classes with Linda.
The staff are exceptionally helpful and welcoming.
My trainer, Flavia, is an expert! She supports my growth and desire to remain fully active and involved.
Thank you.
The facility even had a library for me rest and read after. love it!
The two women that helped me had all the answers and helped me through the process
Helpful is an understatement
