Member Testimonials
Staff at the Birmingham location was excellent.
Everyone is so happy!
Must because they're exercising!
It's the rare exception for a member to not initiate or reply "Good Morning" with a smile.

The variety of classes for seniors, the walking track and weight machines, friendly staff.

YES,
The S.O. YMCA is a great place ! For our health, with your great instructors, and the friends we make there.
Yet, we STILL have to shower with mature, large DRAIN FLIES. I smashed 2 in the last week ! Faucets and shower heads that need to be scrubbed to remove GREEN CORROSION! MANY of the (pool area )saftey stair strips NEED to be reaplaced for both men's and women. Very Dangerous & Slippery
ALL of us are disappointed in the lack of concern for our saftey the Royal Oak Y.
These are easy, inexpensive fixes...!
