Clean, frienly atmosphere
Friendly staff and clientele. Clean facility. The machines are maintained in good working order. Getting to know other members. It not only gives you the opportunity for a good work out but it offers a sense of belonging and feeling important to the overall operation.
Love my AOA and yoga classes last year
I just really enjoy the atmosphere and the good people I have met over the years at the Y. I swim early in the morning, and it's the best way to start my day; not just the swimming but the collegiality with the other swimmers. Generally everyone is considerate of other swimmers, and there's no competitive feeling. Beginners and leisure swimmers feel as comfortable as those who are much more advanced.
What I like is the many programs that are provided for people of all ages and abilities weather you're a beginner or a long time programer it's like a no judgement zone where all are welcome.
The Y in Detroit is awesome. Lot's of space, great facilities, and friendly people.
Easy entry, clean facilities with hours that suit our familyās needs. Thank you!!
Cleanliness & Activities
The programming is great, the facilities are very nice, and each staff member I have encountered has been very helpful and kind.
I love our downtown YMCA because it is always a clean and welcoming environment. The staff are extremely helpful and kind. The equipment is well maintained. And it is a great place to meet friends and work out together. I also really like the layout. Iāve been to other YMCAās in other cities and I continue to like the Boll ymca in downtown Detroit best. The only thing I donāt like is having to find street parking whenever I go.
The Y has been amazing since we joined. I initially just wanted to have somewhere to work out that also included child watch. I have be blown away with the activities during the year that my children have loved, the rooftop yoga was a success and we all have become more confident swimming. Iām thankful for the program that allows us all to be apart of the Y. Highly recommend the Y to all my friends and family.
The facility is clean and the staff very friendly. Love the community vibe. Keep up the great work!

Convenience of location, range of activities, opening hours.
I like the Boll Family YMCA. The facilities are relatively new and well maintained. I like the pool. I hope to visit it more in the upcoming weeks.
Camaraderie.
Great teachers and helpful staff.

It's a clean facility. There are lots of machines and weights to use. The track is great alternative for the treadmill.
The only thing I don't like is how bad 25% of the people lifting are at reracking their weights. Can there be like penalties or a ban for these people?
