Member Testimonials
The staff are friendly, the facility is clean, the lifeguards show up for their shifts, the facility is not overcrowded. I couldn’t recommend this location more.
Very well maintained facility, friendly staff, good selection of equipment and a nice pool!
clean, friendly, hours of operation, equipment and classes
I love the Y and the community it brings. The facility is well run and always so clean.
I would love these additions;
Extra programing during DPSCD breaks, open rock climb, open swim, or other extra activities for kids
I would also appreciate some programing for "second shift" working adults! I would totally take a 10am yoga or dance class during the week! People in the service industry, hospitality, and health care have a wide range of schedules, I think you would find interest in late morning classes for non-seniors.
Thanks!
I love coming to the Y, I really feel like I'm part of a community and that by being a member, I'm also giving back to Detroit and other members.
Facilities: beautiful building, clean, variety of equipment, and a separate lap pool from the family pool, and lower pool temperature! Keep it low or lower it more!
Very nice & clean facility good area.
I love having a facility in the heart of downtown and love being able to explore the surrounding area. I love the class offerings although I wish there were more afternoon classes available. Mornings and evenings can be hard bc of my unique work schedule, so my membership often goes to waste unless I can make a Saturday class. The instructors are always amazing and the facility is beautiful. Hoping I can visit more often this year!
The Downtown Y is a great facility. Clean and well maintained. Staff is great. Overall it is a phenomenal value and the community is amazing. It's busy but never struggle to get in a good sweat whether it's swimming, running on the track, or lifting weights. Can't beat the location!
great facility the pool is very nice
The Mountain Dew machine is always well-stocked and affordably priced.
Great instructors and a diverse welcoming group in classes.
I love the Active Oldet Adults class. The instructors are attentive to our needs; they take time to give individuals any extra help or instructions as necessary. Marietta and Vernice have created a healthy, caring, friendly environment.
I love the Y so much it feels like home.
I love the equipment and that it’s mostly not too busy. It’s also very close to my apartment.
The lap swim hours.

I like the gym very much. It has multiple different machines. It’s clean and well maintained. Personal is very friendly.
Staff was very helpful and the facility is nice!
I love how friendly the front desk, instructors and general staff. The instructors are super professional and encouraging!
The group adult classes are fantastic! Would like more 6:15 AM or 7 AM classes. The coat racks could be dusted more frequently.
Love the pool and lifeguard staff.
The parking lot seems to be empty these days. How about parking for the disabled elders who come for classes? I am able to park on the street at a distance so I’m lucky. Last week one woman spent 25 minutes trying to park close enough to get her wheelie suitcase through the snow banks. People on fixed income may not be able to afford the garage.
love the trainers!
I love the Y for their great exercise classes, friendly and helpful staff and clean facilities. It always makes me happy 😊
The facility is great, tons of classes to experience and very family oriented.
I love it. I just wish there were better parking for members.
Great staff. Great facilities. Great classes. Highly recommend for all ages.
I love the facilities, it's the only place I can play squash in the city. Cycling class with David was absolutely incredible, super motivating and excellent vibes.

Great place, great pool and water exercises, tai-chi, and amazing weight room, etc, etc, etc...
