Member Testimonials
I attend the Y for their classes. Mostly yoga and mobility. Caroline's class is excellent, I rarely miss it on Fridays. She is a double thumbs up instructor. Its great to see more yoga classes being added to the schedule!
Everything! The environment is great. Staff members are always welcoming and very helpful.
I've been a member of Dow Bay Area Family for a couple of years. I think of it as my "other family". Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and ready to help at a moments notice. The facility is clean and the equipment is ready to use. I am a proud member and don't hesitate to recommend DBAFY to anyone in the community who asks.
I love the variety of classes available.
Have met so many new friends.

Wonderful place for workouts and socializing
I like the approachability of the staff, from Steve the CEO down. The front desk is who anyone that enters see’s first and they are friendly and helpful. They always say hello and usually a see you next time when members leave. The pool are is always clean and put together in an organized fashion. The overall Y is experience is positive, clean and inviting.
It's a very safe and clean environment. You always feel welcomed by the staff from the front desk and throughout the facility. Everyone is eager to help you whatever you might need. I have recommended the local Y to many of my friends. It's a great way to start my day. The Y is my happy place.

Friendly staff .Always clean. Many different classes
from the incredible facilities to the amazing staff, the Bay Area Y is is in my opinion the best in the state of Michigan. I’ve never had anything negative occur while multiple instances of kind and competent staff abound. it’s a wonderful, accommodating entity which I’m grateful for..!
i amglad so many people are using the incentitives to join . the dow can help in ways for people that camt see very well and do not understand to use devices cause seniors do not have alot of knowleDE.
I love that there's a variety of ways to move our bodies! Everyone is a team player at the Y from what I've noticed so far. I've never had any issues with other gym users in the few years that I've been a member. I appreciate the variety of classes as well! And my kids have enjoyed the Kidzone while my husband and I work out.
I usually have nothing negative to say about YMCA, however, I have noticed a large influx of children wandering around during YBL. All day. Every Saturday.
EVERYTHING!
Friendly people and Friendly staff. The hours work well with my schedule.
