Everyone in my swim class is very friendly and sometimes we sing while swimming. It's like our own little clique. The instructor, Nancy, is very cool too and you can work out at your own pace as well.
Lots of different exercises
Good job
The instructors are great and my kids love it. The facility is clean and well maintained.
The schedule!
Great team
The variety of classes and the great friends I have made here.
So far I enjoy the many classes you have for kids.
Everyone on the staff is polite and friendly. It is very clean and well kept. A variety of things to do. Everything is all right there, gym, walking the track, swimming, hot tub, sauna, exercise classes of all kinds, swim lessons, basket ball and more.
The staff at the Down River YMCA are very personable, knowledgeable and kind. I truly appreciate how they've made me feel very welcome.
Thank you

The Aquacize program is great! Nancy is a fun instructor but she makes sure we work to capacity
Finding programs for 13-year olds who are not sporty is a challenge. My son loves the photo and film program. This is his third session and has learned a lot, enjoyed the creative process and projects and made friends.
Very clean facility. Friendly and professional staff
Very friendly and helpful. Would like to see chair yoga for seniors and Zumba Gold back.
I like the adult exercise program and chair exercise.
Love the benefit of water exercise. I have many knee issues and water exercises is most encouraged in my case. Instructor is very encouraging. My fellow classmates are a good source of friendliness and support.
My children and I love the staff. They are all welcoming and friendly people. Especially the front desk and swim instructors. I'm grateful that my children are able to take swim lessons at the YMCA. Watching my kids learn how to swim over these last few years has been just as exciting as it was to watch each of them learn how to walk. I am grateful to Chris and Ryan for the level of confidence my kids have because of their instruction.
Thank you for all the communication and improved Y App from the Downriver Family Y! You are doing a great job! Much improvement from what it used to be! Kudos to Rebecca and Staff!
I really enjoy going to the Y. I use the pool and hot tub 2 x a week. I play pickle ball on Fridays. My only complaint is on Fridays we used to have the gym from 8-12 in the morning. We had 2 courts. 8-9 was for beginners. Had a great instructor - Glen. Now we only have 1 court on Fridays. We have approximately 12 to 15 players that come early on Fridays to play. Sometimes more than that. It would be ice if we could have both sides again so everyone can play.
Great workout and great instructor Nancy
Nancy, the instructor. She's amazing.
The swim instructor is such a nice guy. My granddaughter loves him. He takes his time with each child. Very patient. Loved how he introduced himself before the lessons started and provided information to my granddaughters parents.
Has everything you want to get fit. Clean. Close to my home

I enjoy the water exercise. Nancy is a very good instructor and always make the class interesting!! I also think it’s so cool to be able to swim in the winter !!
