The friendliness
I am a huge fan of the South Oakland YMCA! Everyone has been so absolutely welcoming, from the class instructors, fellow Y members, and Child Watch. I'm thrilled to be an active member at the South Oakland Y!
The staff is helpful and nice, the facilities are clean, I can always find a lane in the pool, and it's great to relax in the sauna after my workout.
Friendly staff and fellow members. It's a very welcoming place full of friendly, smiling faces.
Clean and friendly
I appreciate that there is always enough equipment for everyone to use. When I go in wanting to use a particular thing it’s always available.
I've only experienced 2 classes,. So far I've enjoyed and I like both. I want to try the mobility and water aerobic classes. I'm looking forward to exercising at least 3 days a week

Some suggestions:
Have the TV's on with the fonts on and if possible, larger fonts so you can see it farther away
when your on the treadmill etc. Also, have one of the TV's have on one of the Business channels, such as; MSNBC-Business and in addition, either CNN, FOX or MSNBC-regular. The talk group talk shows and the soap operas no one looks at.
It is my understanding that a new YMCA is possibly in the cards in downtown Royal Oak. With this area inundated with seniors, such as myself, you may want to consider a senior meeting room that will have coffee and donuts in the mornings.
If you care too, feel free to call me for further discussion.
