Linda the Silver Sneakers instructor is the best
Knowledgeable staff willing to work with others on their exercise needs. Also, more of a christian value behavior type of membership and staff, compared to other health club,
Classes and instructors are excellent! There is a great variety of classes for all ages!
Manager has done fantastic job with notification
Instructor has been teaching my daughter and he is very amazing instructor
I would give a 10 for the Silver Sneakers class except for the fact that they are very crowded. LA Fitness has smaller classes and that is getting around to members.
The yoga class with Kathy.
Teresa was wonderful!
Members and staff are nice and friendly.
I like Silver Sneaker Exercise program. I am doing that at YMCA since last - 6 to 7 years.
In that they have different body movements exercise.
I like that it is smaller and less hectic than the Royal Oak branch. Parking is an issue at the Birmingham site on Saturdays. I wish there were more group class options on Sundays.
Love the class. the Y is convenient and the variety of class offer is excellent
We have been utilizing the Y for swimming lessons for about a year now and absolutely love Ms. Rachel. We tried other facilities and programs like Goldfish and Troy Gym and none compare to Ms. Rachel. Her class is engaging the entire duration, focuses on safety first (fun in the water is great, but safety was our biggest priority), and genuinely enjoys all of the kids. Even though we do not live near the Birmingham Y, we specifically go here because the classes are so awesome!
The staff was nice and my child enjoyed the experience. I would recommend that staffing be better organized, they didn’t swim each time they went.
We had a great first experience with swim lessons at the Birmingham Y. All of the staff at the Y are friendly and helpful, and the instructor, Theresa, is great! She does a great job managing the kids and teaches with a good balance of skill-building and fun. My daughter progressed a ton in just six weeks. She's much more confident in the water now.
My has been swimming at the Birmingham Y since he was 10 months old. He is now 11 years old and he swims on the YMCA Novice swim team. He enjoys swimming there 2 days a week and I like the fact that the Novice swim team meet at 7:00 pm.
That gives him time to come home after school and eat and do homework before going to the Y.
The martial arts instructor , Noboru Saito, is the real deal!
Best sensei in the State of Michigan for judo, karate and community responsibility
All the fitness classes!!

Silver sneakers is a great class. Wide selection of exercise machines and free weights. Clean facilities and friendly staff at Birmingham YMCA.
