Customer service is amazing, enjoying the E-Gym, and walking on the treadmill. Building is always clean and welcoming.
comprehensive workout facilities
The friendly staff at the front desk. This is a contrast to what it was several years ago when I thought there was no attempt to be welcoming.
I like the friendliness of staff and the members.
All work together as if in a family, so super.

Staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Erica's Zumba and Body Pump classes are awesome! Jim's Step Aerobics classes are amazing! I know other class offerings arw good too. I have personal knowledge about these!
I love the RO YMCA. it is clean, people are friendly, and the staff are very attentive.
I like the free weights equipment in the rooms upstairs, I like Erica's Zumba classes and Body Combat.
The Royal Oak YMCA has been a great choice! As a senior citizen, our health insurance allows us to join one of most of the gyms in the area, but the Y has eGym, classes, running track, bikes and treadmills, and pool, all of which offer us a great variety of options for working out.
Love the Y as way more sociable than that Planet
access to workout equipment, warm pool, ability to bring grandsons over to play basketball, etc (they have membership too). parking is available.
I am at the South Oakland YMCA every morning, 7 days a week, for an hour - I can work out, maintain my health, and be amongst friends who feel like family. I've been a member more than 30 years - the staff are friendly and helpful, the offerings are fresh and plentiful, and the new E-Gym is a great addition. I wouldn't trade my Y for the lesser gyms in the area for anything.

My overall health has improved significantly since joining the Y. There are many things about the Y that I’m grateful for: it’s reasonably priced, the staff is great, there are numerous and varied classes lead by terrific instructors, new equipment is available* and the Y is a wonderful community.
It would be much appreciated by folks in the yoga classes (and similarly calming classes) if signs were posted in the 2nd floor weight room to refrain from dropping weights or medicine balls during specified times. The times being periods when the mentioned classes are in session in the room directly below.
Thank you!
I've made so many new friends and I feel so much better physically since coming to YMCA.
I love the ability to use the child watch while exercising. My children have also enjoyed the Christmas and Valentine's Day parties. Love the E-gym!!' Please don't EVER get rid of it!!!!!
Another great visit, Always Clean, a wide variety of new equipment, friendly staff and tranquility but active pool!
Its just a great place with great people. Good community
The Community Spirit surrounded by people trying to get better at Balance, Confidence and Strength.

Totally the best place to workout. Just need more bikes downstairs. Staff and equipment are the best. Camaraderie too.
