Aquatics
Clean, friendly, and well ran facility that offers many sports, as well as all the workout equipment anyone could want. The CEO walks the floor and visits with members giving DOW YMCA a hometown feel.
From the moment I step through the doors of the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA, I feel the energy and warmth that make this place a true community treasure. Every corner buzzes with positivity—from the friendly staff cheering me on to the inspiring programs that bring out my best. Whether I’m breaking a sweat, learning a new skill, or simply enjoying the camaraderie, the Y reminds me that we’re all stronger when we come together. Thank you for creating an environment where families thrive, friendships blossom, and healthy habits grow—one workout, one class, and one smile at a time!

We enjoy the 24/7 area to start or day. Then off to the pool to get in some laps. The Hot tub finishes the morning routine. One gets to enjoy the regular people that follow a similar schedule.
Love the atmosphere!
I've been a member for about 15 years and this facility rocks. The staff and the people I've met here (including my fiancé) are great. Being a Y member and this facility has given to me an enhanced quality of life.
It is family friendly.
It's close and convenient. The facilities are exactly what I need for my workouts. The hours are great and the 24 hour gym is awesome. Knowing I can get a workout in anytime is perfect. The staff is nice - it's like the neighborhood gym.
Oh my! I love the facility - swimming pool - track- classes and even more, I appreciate the people.
Awesome place
Everything! Great atmoshphere. Included classes. Reservation system for pool. And the positive people, both members and staff!
Phone use out of control. Too many people sitting on equipment, looking at phone for a long period of time. Very frustrating when I have to adjust my workout around these folks. Thanks
The people both staff and members are all great! We love the amenities and the classes. The variety of exercise spaces and the versatility of how you can use them is awesome. I feel like I'm learning more about the place every time I go.
Everyone is so friendly. The facility is very clean. There are so many activities that suit multiple different needs. My whole family can go to the Y and each work on their individual goals. My teenagers can work on strength building for their sports, my husband on his running, while I work on healing an injury.
This is a wonderful facility. There is a wide variety of exercise options offered. The facility is clean well staffed with good people. The sauna and steam rooms are also wonderful benefits.
Enjoy the various types of classes that are available.
I love the effort everyone puts in to make the Y run and no matter what department you step into you see smiling faces and it makes a difference.
