Member Testimonials
I want to highlight your employee Joe as a key resource on your team. Joe has always been available for questions and has provided very good responses to my concerns.
Please recognize Joe at the South Oakland YMCA as a great YMCA employee!
Nice and clean people here treat you like family. Hope they will close late 9pm is to early
Love all the new equipment. People need to xheck it out.
This Y location is clean, the people are friendly and the wellness center equipment (and other equipment upstairs) is not only NEW, but it’s fantastic! I love the variety of classes and the fact that a member can work out in a variety of spaces. Sometimes working in a smaller space vs. a larger makes a workout uniquely enjoyable. At South Oakland YMCA a member can make the most out of their fitness efforts and feel like they are part of a special community.
I love the group classes for Seniors. I frequently attend Chair Yoga and AOA classes. Also, I'm able to walk on the track whenever my schedule permits.
Previously I used my BCBS benefits to attend but, BCBS is no longer covering my classes beginning 2025. Then, I will enroll in the BCBS Legacy Membership Plan. Thank you Southeast YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit for offering great classes to Seniors at affordable rates.
The staff and E-Gym are the highlights for me. The staff is warm and friendly. The E-Gym component is the greatest. I am currently in the Livestrong Class and JP and Vickie are the greatest!

My family loves the YMCA, and we recommend it to everyone, especially families! The new EGYM equipment, fitness classes, and welcoming community atmosphere are fantastic. Our kids really enjoy the child watch area, and it gives us peace of mind knowing they’re safe while we work out. The main reasons we joined were the child watch program and swim classes for kids, and both have been excellent. Overall, we’ve had a wonderful experience at the South Oakland YMCA!
This Y is a lovely place, very welcoming, clean and bright.
The staff at the desk are friendly and welcome people with a smile.
The yoga instructor is fantastic.
The water aerobics instructor for the morning sessions (who is 85 years young!) does a fair job for that age.
The changing rooms are fresh and clean.
A great pool and great people. I like it as it is handicapped accessible. No steps until you enter the pool A plus is the chair lift if you need it.
Awesome classes and staff!
I enjoy taking classes at the Y. The instructors are friendly and helpful. I also like using the new EGYM equipment. They motivate me to keep using them.
