Member Testimonials
Friendly personnel, clean environment, and good selection of classes.
I enjoy my older adult classes but wish they were offered more times a day. I also wonder will you be getting any art classes again or knitting and crochet.
Instructor speaks clearly.
Andrea is amazing! I am so happy with the progress I have made in the first 3 weeks of the class, I can't wait to see where I end up by the end. Andrea is relentlessly positive, encouraging, and motivating.
The variety of programs that you have for everybody or ages family individuals groups, etc. I am a senior and I like the fact that you take the silver sneakers or the Medicare Medicaid and or insurance program payments or discounts given
Helpful and friendly staff, excellent facilities and equipment, and great community of members.

Community, Egym, yoga class
The swimming program at the Y has been great! The teachers are knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint would be how hard it is to get into classes because they fill up quickly.
Love the classes and the members. Everyone makes me feel welcomed.
The atmosphere is very friendly and supportive. The classes have been wonderful. Well organized, lots of options and welcoming atmosphere.
Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. There are great group fitness classes. And I really enjoy the eGym workout system. It's an excellent program for consistent weight training with built-in guidance. I've never been as consistent and successful with my resistance training before in my whole life. But now I'm a regular on the weight machines and I'm seeing results!
Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. There are great group classes. And I really love the eGym workout program. It is an excellent method for doing consistent, guided strength training.
Really enjoy the friendly and helpful staff and the newly upgraded spinning cycles and strength training equipment.
The pool is larger than other swim schools in the area and the training program appears be better received by our son.
I like the variety of options available. I wish there were more aerobic classes.

I love all the exercise classes, and all the people that work there. They are very kind and have great customers service 🥰
The YMCA is a community. The facilities and equipment are always clean and safe. The staff are friendly, kind, encouraging and knowledgeable. We members come in all shapes, ages, sexs, colors, backgrounds and treat the "Y" with respect.
Together we celebrate health and each other.
It's a place that feels like home. My son is free to be himself, although he's young and I'm free to be his mom while in a healthy environment. Thank you all for what you do.
Fellow Y members!!
Smaller classes and instructors are great! My kid loves swimming and looks forward to her swim lessons.
The YMCA Royal Oak is very clean and everyone is friendly. So far (it's only been two weeks and I have attended the water aerobics classes last week and yesterday so only 3x), the class is great, instructors are good and people in class are so nice.
Great classes and responsive staff!
