I love the location, the staff, classes offering and the egym
Friendly and approachable staff and instructors. Attracts active seniors as well as those with limited movement. Great place to go.
Friendly staff, clean facility .
I like the workout room, I like meeting new people and making new friends, and the employees are very nice and helpful.
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!
