Friendly staff and Members
Housekeeping is great
I love how friendly everyone is
Definitely a great place for all around family experience. There are classes, weight room, a gym, pool, sauna and child watch if needed. It would be really great if there were some kind of Grant or donations that could help get the outside pool fixed. That was a great resource for children and families during the summer. Even if there was an additional membership fee, I think people would pay it. especially if it was open to people outside of the Y membership and City of Southgate.
I like the variety of Active Older Adult Classes. Each one has a different approach & focus on different skills - Balance, stretching & strength.
The instructors are great & desk staff friendly & helpful!
I enjoy the classes and all the instructors. They know what they are doing and enjoy their jobs. I like the pickleball hours and the players.
Very friendly staff, the coaches for classes are very knowledgeable. Met so many people there who are now great friends.
Instructors are great
I love the water aerobics and exercise classes in the gym. I also have made many friends over the years.
For the past three years there has been a problem with the air conditioning in the workout rooms. And we have been given the same excuse every year! It should not take three years to get it fixed! Poor management in my opinion! So no right now I would not recommend the Y to anyone! It is not safe to workout in these conditions.
I mostly use the group fitness classes. Some major improvements have been made and improved the experience greatly:
New instructors so that classes are less likely to be canceled.
Monthly signups in the app that are predictable and easy.
New oscillating fans in the cycling room.
Microphones for instructors should they choose to use them.
Friday Body Pump returned (yay)
We love all the activities to help our whole family stay healthy while having fun!
I love my classes with Melissa, she has helped me lose weight, stay accountable and she cares about her members and looks out for them especially if they have health issues or mobility issues.
I love the HIIT/Core workouts 3 days a week. Samantha and Avery are upbeat and keep you motivated.

Staff and family friendly classes
First the people. The staff is friendly and very helpful . They have so many different
programs, everyone can find something they like. My number one thing I love the best is the people I have met there. I have made so many new friends. The YMCA supports you physically and socially.
