Member Testimonials
The employees are very personable. Great variety of exercise equipment. Love the water aerobics. Learned how to play pickleball!
So fun peeps are great, only use pool but may try other offers. Life Guards are the best and the front desk guys and gals are cheerful and smiley.
Every staff person has been very friendly and helpful. We love the value of our Y membership; with the pool & open gym for basketball (as well as exercise equipment, track & classes) it’s been a fantastic family experience for our mental, emotional & physical well being!
The workers at the front desk are very thoughtful. The building is exceptionally clean.
The facility is clean.
The facility is clean and the staff are helpful/ nice. The hours are useful for a person who works a 9 to 5 job. There are plenty of offerings available and I can’t wait to be more involved in the future. The location is easy to drive to and find a parking place.
Friendly staff, bright and cheerful, classes tailored to my abilities.
I see people cleaning
Silver Sneakers classes. Facilities always sparkling fresh. Instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging. Locker room and showers are immaculate. Always an uplifting experience to come here. Im 76 years old.
I like the professional approach to the class and the staff is very helpful and friendly
It has been a good experience.
From check-in with the friendly staff at the front desk to the instructors, members and the woman who goes around cleaning, everyone is so nice, kind and quick to offer a smile. I look forward to coming in each time. I also appreciate the emails when the power has been out.
So far so good. The building is kinda weird. LOL......I find myself getting lost at times in it.
Clean facility, more than enough equipment to exercise. Indoor track is very impressive. So many things to do at this Ymca.
The offerings are awesome. Rejoined after my spouse had Covid and we were gone over a year. So glad to be back!
It’s very senior friendly, the staff and instructors are wonderful. I really enjoy the classes that are appropriate for all age abilities.
Staff is friendly
Great classes and instructions
The location has a friendly staff to make my experience very positive. Specifically, it has a wide range of choices in athletic programs – swimming, a gym, weights, and running equipment. Lastly, and most important of all, the cost saving, is a Normas compared to Other choices that we have in the community.
Everyone is very friendly.
Water Fitness classes are great!
The staff are a pleasure to be with. Always leave with a smile.
The staff is like family. Their efficiency. They also make certain that our needs are met. The classes are Great. Vicki is a outstanding teacher/trainer. The cleanliness at The Royal Oak facility.
The staff at the front desk, I can't give enough accolades.
The instructors are wonderful and the friendships I have made with the other members! I love the Y!!
Always a machine available in the gym and a good selection of machines to use
Staff is very friendly and helpful. Very good facilities.
The people running the program really made every kid feel special and included. I also loved the structure of program, it really helped the kids work together on learning the fundamentals and being a team.
Great staff, instructors and classes
I lovep the pool. It is a very comfortable place for an older person to do some serious lap swimming.
It is a rich reward knowing that my Silver Sneakers membership is honored at the YMCA! Getting to know the South Oakland Royal Oak facility specifically has been very satisfying. The place is clean, the staff friendly, the location convenient. It has been a very positive experience for me thus far!

I love the staff, all of the offerings and how conveniently located it is. I wish the swim instructors were better at my location. Also really need to redo the women's locker room. It is in terrible shape.
