Clean and all equipment is easy to access
Staff are personable too
Friendly atmosphere
In our current society it is hard to spend time as a family, but the YMCA is perfect for all ages. Our family loves the water area.
Everyone is very helpfulFrom lowering the backboard for my daughter, two showing us around.
I have currently returned to Dow Area Family Y since Covid19. I am happy to see family, friends, co-worker's and the friendly Y staff when I am there. Keep up the good work!
Great place to do things with the entire family. Offers many types of activities year round.
I feel the YMCA is a great place to work out. The hot tub, sauna and steam room are certainly a plus. I enjoy the classes that are offered daily.
It is very family friendly too....

Joining the Y has been one of the best things that I have ever done for myself and my family. It is a safe, clean, and welcoming place for me to go workout. I love the indoor track! The Y has all of the strength training equipment that I could ever need and so many options for cardio. The other members are also friendly which helps more with motivation than I think anyone realizes. All around, just a great place!
hours getting back to normal
Very clean facility with lots of options.
Just about everything!! Biggest thing is the overall cleanliness of the entire facility. From the exercise floors, pool area, to the locker rooms, always in fantastic condition.
So why not a perfect 10 you ask?? 2 little things...
1 - Disappointed in the number of upright bikes available. This is my primary reason for coming. There's now only 4 upstairs scattered around the track. I enjoy these sometimes to watch a basketball game or something while working out, but now none of them are in the main area between the racket ball courts and weight floor where you can view all the TV's. I enjoyed the Audio Fetch App and multiple TV's to switch between. With current setup, this is no longer an option. There are TONS of elliptical options through out the facility, and the majority of them are never in use. Also a good number of recumbent bikes, but lets be honest. How many people have a upcoming race there training for on recumbent vs. a traditional upright? I understand the ergonomics are different for users with back issues, etc.. They are needed for sure. I do appreciate that the 4 upright bikes are now updated to the new versions, but I find I have to wait to use one, and there not in my desired location.
2 - Maybe just have the staff monitor the language of the after school teens that are playing hoops. I enjoy watching these youths improve there game and being active vs. playing video games. I personally don't get offended by there sometimes language, but there are lots of younger kids around.
Love the pool and walking track the more st
The Y is a great facility. I like all of the different options there are for working out. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
My husband and I love Bay Area family Y… great people and programs!
I love the people
Friendly Staff
Hours of availability and cleanliness.
Very friendly staff, clean equipment, restrooms and locker rooms, it's a nice environment.
The vast variety of options to work out.
I really enjoy the condition of the equipment and the cleanliness of the gym.
We accidentally came for a tour on a very busy basketball filled Saturday. At the desk we were still greeted pleasantly as the associate was clearly juggling so many tasks. She invited us to do a self guided tour. As we came upstairs we were greeter by three other YMCA associates who eagerly volunteered a tour of the facilities. One of them took us around, showed us the weights, track, pool, locker rooms, and where to find the scheduled classes. Despite how busy and chaotic it was, we felt incredibly welcome. Since then we have started to use rhe pool and seek out other opportunities for fitness assessments. I am so incredibly impressed by not just the beautiful facilities but the beautiful souls who work within the building bringing a positive experience to the Bay City Community.
The facility is clean, large, and has many different options. The 24 hour area is very convenient for my inconsistent schedule and most of the classes have been fantastic.
I love that everything is always clean and in working order. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful. I feel welcome in the gym and I can't say enough about the pools and hot tub. The only complaint is that the leisure pool is very warm.
The YMCA is always a clean, friendly space to be in. The facilities are sparkling and the staff is incredible. I would recommend this YMCA to anyone and everyone.
24/7 availability and the various equipment options.
Having a track to use. Along with pool area and spa and sauna and large amount of equipment to use.
Love bringing my family to the Y. So many great programs, a great pool, and fitness area.
It is a very clean and diverse center. I have been to many YMCA facilities and this one is by far my favorite. I love the open feel and the many activity options available. The best addition to the Y so far has been the 24/7 area. I use this at least 2-3 times a week.
Professional equipment, clean building, hot tub, sauna
Very helpful on any question I had!
