A great place with a great staff running it! I have, I believe , had approximately 7-8 people from Huntington Woods join. There is no room, but if the new one is ever built, I think a SENIOR room lounge with a coffee machine and a large flat screen tv would be a game changer. Speaking of TV, we need to have a choice of Fox news and CNN available on the treadmills and other machines who get tv. By having those two channels you would eliminate any political issues etc. Also, closed captions should be on all the channels and not just 1! You definitely and have a strong community feeling amongst the patrons who come to the Royal Oak Y. Keep up the great job!

Many of the instructors are welcoming and friendly. The classes are health oriented and taught by skilled and experienced instructors. Classes are really geared to getting people good exercise experiences. Different and not run of the mill old time routines. I have learned so many different versions of exercises. There is something for everyone.m

The social aspect of being with other folks my age. I attend the yoga and active older adults passes and like the other people very much. Thank you for providing those classes at the 11:00 hour, which is perfect for me and I have heard others express the same thoughts. We have time to have our coffee before we come! Thanks againmo

Love the Strength and Mobility classes for older adults. Excellent programs and instructors. Only problem is that they're very crowded on Wednesdays and Fridays, esp in Studio A or B. And sometimes the supplies run out (small exercise balls).

Love the 2 Pilates classes led by outstanding teachers! I drive quite a ways just to make these classes. Even the sub on Saturday morning named Joe was super! I have never been to a stretch class that ran so smoothly as his. Very upbeat music as well. The people at the registration desk as you walk in are so friendly too. E-gym is icing on the cake! Thank you for what you do there at the Y!
