Member Testimonials
It has been wonderful to reconnect with the Y. I've taken two classes and the instructors have been welcoming and great.
I have been a member since January 2001.
Just that alone proves to you I appreciate all things YMCA.
The facility is large, accommodating and user-friendly.
I really like the new E-GYM.
The ladies at the front desk were very helpful when my Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage of my membership expired. They smoothly signed me up for monthly direct debit payments at the legacy rate.
Always look forward to my work outs and the friendly camaraderie with the staff.
Thank You!
Very friendly staff and some good equipment.

The employees so friendly and helpful
I particularly like the helpful and friendly staff, the new exercise cycles and e-machines strength training equipment. The fellow clientele are great, too!
This Royal Oak Y is well managed by a kind hardworking group.
Good staff, hours, location.
The locker rooms are not as consistently clean as other Y locker rooms I have been to ( Boll Family Y, Farmington, Birmingham, Traverse City, other cities - NYC Upper Westside Y, San Francisco Chinatown Y, Silver Spring MD Y).
It's a real turnoff to visitors from other Ys that our locker rooms do not appear to get a nightly mopping.
Cleanliness of the building and friendliness of the staff.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Royal Oak YMCA. Everyone is kind, informative, and respectful. They are all willing to help with any questions or demonstrations. I have mentioned this to everyone I know.
