Difficult question.
Physical aspects including some of the most ’state of the art’ exercise equipment, great gym, walking track, beautiful pool, list goes on.
The Community Spirit and atmosphere in the Wellness Center & Classes eclipses physical stuff.
SOY has So much more than above.
The people on Staff are on key and make the Y a great choice.
Yeah, difficult question - so I won’t answer it.
Regards

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!
