Member Testimonials
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.

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.

Whirlpool hot jet massage for back therapy, friendly staff and jovial banter with guys in men's lounge area.
I have been a life long member at the BAFY.
A couple of things to consider that would improve the experience.
1. All ymca staff especially the counter people need to engage the members better.
2. All might consider wearing a name tag and pay attention as members enter and leave.
3. Something has to be done about people entering the pool and hot tubs without showering!
I refuse to even consider using these facilities any more, its seniors, kids and everyone in between that abuses or thinks the rule doesn't apply to them because they showered earlier that day.
A better more engaged pool staff is really needed in my opinion.
No complaints. The Y is a gem for downtown Bay City. Who would believe that
that the Y would be over-run by pickleball players. The gym was not designed
to handle glare on the pickleball courts. The windows are wonderful but create
a difficult problem for players facing the windows. Wondering if there is a cure
of some kind with shades or other technology! Rock on Y!
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.
