YES,
The S.O. YMCA is a great place ! For our health, with your great instructors, and the friends we make there.
Yet, we STILL have to shower with mature, large DRAIN FLIES. I smashed 2 in the last week ! Faucets and shower heads that need to be scrubbed to remove GREEN CORROSION! MANY of the (pool area )saftey stair strips NEED to be reaplaced for both men's and women. Very Dangerous & Slippery
ALL of us are disappointed in the lack of concern for our saftey the Royal Oak Y.
These are easy, inexpensive fixes...!

As a busy single mother, who also values staying active, I really love the group fitness classes. I also really appreciate the beautiful ladies that work in the child care section. It is such a blessing to be able to trust that your child will be safe while working on your self. All of the staff members are hard working, kind, and respectful. You all are a joy to be around thank you so much!!!

The location is also great with lots of parking space in their lot.
