It's been great so far! Love the staff and equipment
I always have a good time when i go to work out at the Royal Oak Y. I appreciate the diversity of ages and cultures. I appreciate the variety of personalities and “characters,” and have never witnessed anyone being treated or treating another badly.
I have always gotten help readily and cheerfully at the front desk.
Maybe these things sound simple. They are not. In this day and in these times safety and feelings of comfort are not always easy to find. I don’t find any classism at this Y. ( as in, say, a private gym or chain health club.)
A good atmosphere creates a good feeling and a feeling of safety and comfort.
I like the atmosphere at the Royal Oak Y. It is conducive to both serious work and presents opportunities for serious socializing.

The Staff! The location!! PICKLE BALL!!! Also the classes offered.
Everyone is friendly, it is a low key environment, no worries about what to wear, how to look. Everyone is there to enjoy the classes.
I like how welcoming and friendly everyone is. That’s a big deal. Most gyms are very impersonal but i feel like everyone is so encouraging as i do group fitness classes
Very friendly,comfortable and a very friendly and helpful staff.
I currently attend three fitness classes: step, body pump, and zumba. They are different sizes and different workouts (also different age demographics, it seems). But, the instructors are all very welcoming and encouraging. Even though I'm new, they make me feel competent and included.
Exercise when the weather is horrible
I love the variety of workouts along with the pool and the gym. Plus child care. It is great.
I love the Senior Exercise Classes the Y offers. I'm an almost 82 year old woman who has been enrolled in exercise programs a long time and I love the 3 classes I'm now attending at the Y.
Thank you for offering them.
