Member Testimonials
I love the classes and just swimming. As long as the areas stays clean, I will be swimming.
Staff is awesome
Family!
The summer camp is an AMAZING program! All of the counselors, directors, down to Miss Sherry who signs everyone in and out, is always welcoming and friendly! They make sure that every camper is welcomed and comfortable! Will always recommend!
I thought the exercises and the coach were fantastic.
The instructor (Nancy) is always challenging us, and the group is great - like s bunch of friends.
There is a young man named Jacob that works the desk at the Southgate Michigan YMCA. My wife and I feel he should be recognized for his kindness and professionalism. He ALWAYS greets us when coming and leaving the Y. As senior citizens, we find it refreshing to find a young man who is polite and engaging with older citizens. Good job Jacob!!
I really enjoy the morning body pump class and the low impact aerobic class. Both instructors are great. I wish you could get a daytime yoga class. Also it would be nice if you staggered the class times so people were able to do two classes in a row.
Everyone was considerate especially when my child was having challenges with transitioning from cub camp to 5&6.
The Y is our home away from home. From swim lessons, gym access, free class and child watch, there are a number of activities for our family to participate in. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the facility is well maintained.
The facility is well maintained. Most of the coaches are very kind to the students and work well with them individually as well as in a group. My children are always excited to go to swim class.
The instructor is friendly, helpful and direct. The class always starts and ends on time. The people in the class are fun, accomodating and great to work with. The facility is always clean.
My daughter had a great time and great learning Experience
The exercise classes are great! Lots of fun while exercising.
Water Aerobics
It has a lot to offer.
Awesome classes and instructors.
Instructors did a great job with my kids.
Great pool. Nancy is very good
I recommend the Carls Family YMCA all the time. My grandson worked there this year as a camp counselor. The Y is the most inclusive place he’s ever been. He has mild to moderate Cerebral Palsy and doesn’t let anything get in the way of having a full life. The Y welcomed him as an employee and as a member. He was/is always treated as fully capable and like everyone else which has boosted his confidence and overall well being. Thank you Carls Family YMCA and Andy Mac for being such a great boss and leader.
Very organized, unlike the downtown ymca.
The whirlpool before and after “Water Aerobics Exercise” the jets are amazing at massaging my back and knees as I have a sciatica and knee replacements.
Also my Water Aerobics Exercise class I reserve at 9:00am, I enjoy Nancy’s classes and friends I’ve made.
In the winter I’ll most likely reserve the 11am class.
Please bring back 11am “Water Aerobics” class on FRIDAYS; that would be GREAT!
The pool and therapeutic hot tub. Lifeguards are alert and I noticed last time I was there that there is training. I do miss the physical therapist though.
My kids look forward to swim class each week! This is my girls second session and the instructors are positive and encouraging. My 10 year old is a great swimmer but is new to the swim team. Chris has been great keeping her confidence high with her learning the different strokes and learning to breathing correctly when swimming.
A medical emergency took place while I was there and I saw the efficiency at which the person was taken care of and the speed at which the medical professionals arrived on scene to take over
Chris is a great instructor!
