The Y has a variety of activities and equipment to meet my needs and desires for exercise. Between opportunities for individual, small group and larger group scheduled exercises, there is something for everyone. I especially like the EGym, a set of equipment that individually sets resistance levels for short exercise reps.

I recently joined the Royal Oak Y since the Birmingham Y was closed. I found the people very welcoming and friendly.. I mostly participate in water aerobics and sometimes the Friday Active Adults. Thanks for your welcome.

the peeps at the front desk are very helpful and welcoming. This was important to me as I was transitioning from the Y in Birmingham.

Flavia was also very helpful to me and showing how to grapple with new machines. I don't recall the gentleman's name who set me up with the eMachines but he, too, was very helpful.

Two things share top spot for what I like best about my first week as a member of the South Oakland YMCA: the wonderful people - staff and members, and the great options (classes, track, equipment)

I was greeted warmly and feel so welcome coming from Texas! The staff was helpful and told me there may be interest in programming for people with disabilities via music therapy and movement. Please let me know if you would like an in-service for your staff!
