Great place to work out with my family
It’s a nice facility that is clean and full of everything you need. Great family atmosphere with friendly staff!
We love all the different kind of kids programs you offer, especially summer camp! Our kids always have a great time and look forward to coming back.
You also offer great workout classes . The facilities are always clean and the staff welcoming!
The Dow Y is clean which makes me feel good using the equipment. I like that they keep up the equipment so there are plenty of machines to use. I'm currently attending physical therapy at the Y which is convenient to come a little early or I can stay after to use the bike or arm machines. The staff is friendly and they keep us informed of what is being offered. I would say anyone looking for a fitness center they need to check out the Y.

Great staff. Excellent well kept facilities
Very clean facility. Nice, knowledgeable & helpful staff. Up to date equipment available. Both saunas are spacious & well-maintained. I receive regular communication regarding: changes, cancelations & up-coming events. Lots going on, all the time. The 24/7 workout area provides valuable & convenient access. It's a great place to be & to work-out.
Very well maintained facility and enjoy going there at least two times a week if not more :)
Lots of friendly faces and women’s locker room is top-notch!!!
Love to see how this place brings in the kids! Makes us seniors feel more active!!
The CEO is amazing and has brought strength and greatness to the YMCA. He has an open mind to try new and exciting classes. I would like to suggest some other classes. A one day pickleball class, learn how to braid, declutter and organize your life, cake decorating, special needs dance, special needs cooking classes, arts and crafts for adults, learn how to crochet. Some some ideas
Very friendly staff. Building is always very clean.
I love all the options, the friendly people, knowledgeable staff and I love the price. I also love the Y’s mission and what it offers for the community.
Very friendly staff. Always kept very clean. Water exercise classes keep evolving into something new.

Clean and has great and plenty of equipment
I love the staff. They are so friendly from the moment you walk in the door. They always greet you with a smile.
I appreciate that when life interferes with my better health plans and routines, the Y is always the same. Friendly staff, great variety of equipment and polite members make it easy to get back on track without giving me excuses not to!
I love being a Bay Area YMCA member! I joined for the close proximity to my home, but the modern facility, well maintained equipment, friendly staff (many of whom are now personal friends), cleanliness and afforability ensure I recommend memberships to all my friends!
I love buying day passes for out of town clients who are here to explore Bay City- after they settle in to their new homes, most have joined, also!
I love the friendly staff and how they welcome you into the Y. For the most part the people that work out at the Y are very cordial. The facilities are clean and there is always something going on. I also like that they promote Bible studies at their facilities because I was part of the original YMCA.
Beautiful very clean facility with wonderful leadership and caring staff🙂
Everything staff are friendly lots to.do the facilities are clean I love the Y
Everything! Keep up the good work YMCA!
Only problem is window glare for the tons of pickleball players. The Y was built before the army of pickleballers stormed the gym. We need to work on a simple solution like tint the middle bay of windows without disturbing the walkers view on the track!
It’s a family! I’ve been to many YMCAs in my travels and this one is simply the best. It’s always clean, the staff and members are always pleasant, there’s so much offered to us, and the community involvement is unmatched! I’ve met some of my closest friends in our classes. It’s truly not JUST a gym.
I like everything about the YMCA
I walk on the track. It is nice and warm at the Y on these cold winter days. The people working at the YMCA are very friendly.
I love the facility. It is so clean! The staff is so nice. I primarily go to the pool exercise classes in the morning and the people that attend all appreciate the Aquatic staff. The classes are so popular that sometimes the pool is too crowded, but we figure it out. I am glad more sessions have been added.
I brought my grandchildren to the Y to swim and I wish there could be a number of free passes for grandchildren on Saturdays, just like there is for Bring a Friend Fridays.
Very clean and friendly staff
I enjoy the group exercise classes. The instructors are knowledgeable and show up for classes. So much better than any other fitness facility I have been a member of.
