Friendly, encouraging atmosphere; explanation of value of directed moves; caution to not "over-do" any movements that are too difficult or painful.

Have been a member for 30 years, taking numerous wellness classes. My son was involved in the martial arts program years ago, which was a very positive experience for him. We have enjoyed all that the Y has to offer! I highly recommend the YMCA. 😊

The friendliness and welcoming approach of front desk staff. Every class I have taken, including personal training with Kayann, has made a measurable difference in my health, strength, flexibility, and mental well being.

I like playing pickleball there. Disappointed with limited times allocated to pickleball while other Y locations (Farmington) offer pickleball 7 days a week. I’ve noticed 20 plus players waiting to play pickleball while the other side of gym may have 1 to 3 people shooting hoops or even nobody in the open gym. With the Birmingham Y closing soon I expect the will be even greater demand for pickleball time. Please reevaluate! Thanks

Instructor Linda Scott. Her class (AOA) is a complete workout from head to toe. The aerobic intensity her instruction generates is exactly what I’m looking for. The facility is easily accessible although the room for the above class is very limited.
