Member Testimonials
The friendliness of the staff and of all the people you meet. It is always clean. There are many avenues to venture if you want to try something new.
Quality of facility. Really nice people work there. So many options to help keep me healthy and happy Personally, I so love to swim!
We love how many family-friendly activities, classes, and events are available throughout the year. The facility is always so clean, bright, and inviting. The staff members are so friendly and welcoming, willing to answer any questions I have. The gym is very nice, and the pool is beautiful. The childcare is top-notch, and my family just loves everything the YMCA has to offer.
Everything, paddleball, workout machines steam room sauna, hot tub and pool! It’s a great place to be!
I was nervous to join a big gym but am so happy that I did! I started my fitness journey about a year ago and actually look forward to working out now. I mostly use the 24/7 room because it’s less busy and not as overwhelming. Overall I feel quite comfortable and am eager to explore the other areas as time goes on.
I can be myself with no judgment. Someone's there always to help friendly atmosphere. My kids love to see there school mates at the kid zone.
It’s comfortable, clean and friendly. There is a variety of equipment and programs to enable a full and timely workout. I especially love the Steam room and Sauna.
I like the cardio machines and the weight machines and the free weights. That is all I use. The steam room is excellent as is the showers. Staffing is also very good. I wish that a Westside WMCA satellite location was available. It is getting more difficult to wade thru traffic getting across both the Vets and Lafyette bridges. I refuse to pay to travel across Liberty bridge and the Independant is out of the way.
Great facilities, friendly people and has many different things to offer.
Everyone is nice and friendly and helpful if i need help. I enjoy the workout equipment and the environment. It’s always clean
Something for everyone! Staff is friendly and helpful. A very clean facility with lots of machines to work out on. I love to play racquetball and walk on the track too. A nice pool area with hot tub. Many things to do there to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Always look forward to and enjoy my time spent at the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA.
Free friend Friday and swimming.
I love the Bay City Y! It's always clean and people are friendly. I like that there are many options for exercise classes. My favorite class is Brazillian Dance classes. I started as a complete beginner but now I've learned so much!
Our family loves the Bay Area YMCA. We love the clean facility and the staff are always nice.
It’s a clean and modern facility with great equipment and a nice pool and spin class room. Locker area and sauna/showers etc also are very nice.
I've been a member of the Y for almost 50 yrs. They have always cared for the community and supported BC for as long as I can remember. As a former paddleball player, I've met alot of people and made lots of friends. It's really like family here. There's no other place like it.
I enjoy the early morning crew at the Y. Everyone is supportive and celebrates in the success of all the members. its kinda like the “Cheers” of fitness where everyone knows your name.
Group x Classes
CEO Steve seems like a great guy.
I absolutely love the Y!
Clean facility, friendly staff, great experience in the pool on Wednesday with my family.
Friendly atmosphere, High quality facilities, Nice selection of classes and programs and affordable rates. All there to benefit our community
I really enjoy the sauna. I also enjoy the options for classes but have not been able to join any of them. Maybe when I retire :)
I love the front desk staff , they are all so nice , and funny . The Y hands down is the best gym in bay city . You cannot beat the quality of the equipment , or the customer service anywhere else in bay city. It’s safe and clean and perfect location
Great employees
Clean locker rooms
Always nice and clean.
I like the convenience and cleanliness of the Bay City Y. Your staff are always helpful and friendly and facility hours work well with my schedule.
I like the classes that are offered and the 24/7 room. I have made many friends at the Y over the years and look forward to going every day. The long-term staff and class instructors are awesome!
One request though- please review the weights that are available in the closet off the gym. Most people use 10# to 12# dumbbells but there is only 1-2 sets of the 10# weights in there lately. The am bootcamp has over 20 people and we are running around trying to find weights.
Also- we need more Bosu balls and bench steps. When I am in a class in the gym, they have to run down to the aerobic room to get equipment, and when I am in the aerobic room, they sometimes have to run upstairs to get equipment.
Thanks!
Clean and friendly and multiple options for all levels of fitness.
Unfortunately, my insurance is changing from Peerfit to Silver Sneakers and this Y does not accept this benefit. I will be sad to lose my membership.
Most everything - community engagement - children’s programs and events- the open air feel of the facility- the staff - cleanliness …. Honestly the only negative is a lack of space dedicated to floor and wall exercises (the little converted room isnt great)
