The front desk staff are always friendly, energetic, and helpful. I love the vibe in the Y - a place for kids, families, adults, and more. It truly feels like a community space. I absolutely love the ceramic series - Jess is AMAZING! She needs a raise! I love that the Y understands that adults need (and want) creative outlets and works to serve the whole person. I hope the future holds more art/creative type classes.
My son can play with his friends and I can work out.

As a new member I am just getting started with the program. I am looking forward to classes in January.
I enjoy lap swimming, it has improved my health. I wish the morning hours for Tuesday and Thursday were later.
Great classes, facility and staff.
Need more info or really ANY info on new ownership of the Y and what is going to happen to the building and the pool now that the city owns the building. There should be perhaps a monthly update message to members even if there is no news.
More pool time. More pool time. More pool time. Both Birmingham and Royal Oak pools are chronically jammed and more than 2 swimmers per lane is dangerous. I have been hit by others more than once and do not feel safe. Please find funds to pay lifeguards and qualified guards and expand pool hours. You are not serving the community effectively on either of these issues.
friendly and clean atmosphere...
Great equipment, great staff and trainers. The entire Y environment is amazing promoting a friendly and safe place to workout.
The workers are great and the social interaction with other people in my class is priceless.
Clean and well kept equipment.
The staff are welcoming, you usually get a smile. Makaya is wonderful.
I enjoy my water exercise classes very much. Staff are usually friendly and helpful.
I am concerned about the upcoming changes to using the lanes in the lap pool. Until now, I have been able to reserve a lane for use prior to the water class, which I use for walking and light exercise, warming up for class. The new guidelines about "circle swimming" do not appear to accommodate what I call "pool walkers", of whom there are several. As well, there are swimmers who do a mixture of swimming laps and exercising, also not being accommodated.
The current reservation practices have been in place since re-opening after Covid closures and, as far as I can tell, have been successful in allowing for varied uses of the pool. I am EXTREMELY CONCERNED that changes are being made arbitrarily, without the input of everyone who has been using the lanes for the past 5 years. I don't feel current management is looking at the big picture nor the needs of all members.
