Friendly staff. Lots of equipment and class options.
It has the services and facilities that I was looking for.
Friendly staff, clean.
The people are nice. The YMCA Southgate does pretty well to blend all ages and programs so that everyone has something. I have noticed that the YMCA is offering more for families with young children.
The staff is friendly, the trainers are good, and the facility has lots to offer. The only thing I miss is an indoor walking/ jogging track.
I do enjoy my deep water exercise classes, but what I love most at the Y is the friends that I have made here. I have been a member here for about 22 years. We have formed a very close connection with our teacher Nancy W and with many members too. We have an unofficial lunch together most months and that reinforces those friendships.

Good instructors, nice staff, clean facility
Each YMCA facility is unique and is equipped with everything you could need. It also feels like a community, especially when you come back to the same gym or pool often.
Melissa is a great at teaching the Cardio Drumming! The equipment provided needs to be addressed. Lots of cracked drums!

The staff. I haven’t been in this club in 30 years. The staff could not have been any more welcoming.
The friendly staff!
great atmosphere, friendly staff, great variety of machines n pool. extremely open spaces, n not alot of people.
The staff and instructors are all top notch, a good place to go to work out by yourself or join a class or swim in the pool or even do a class in the pool,. Everyone there is very helpful and caring. I joined over a year ago and have had it all around great experience lost about 10 lb gained some strength back which is important as we get older still working on my balance thank you this is a great place! 🤗💪
Love the AOA classes. The facility is very accessible and clean. Large variety of activities available and all types of workout opportunities. Great membership value!!
Very welcoming. Plenty of activities.
I'm getting older, in my 70's and to stay healthy, I need to stay active. I tried joining other gyms, for example Lifetime, but I didn't fit there. At the Y the class I take caters to older people, keeping our body healthy.
My water aerobics teacher is extremely knowledgeable, the other people in the class friendly, and best of all, I am so comfortable going, that I willingly go Monday through Friday, keeping active, alert, and giving my body the exact stretching and exercise it needs.
I like the spacious parking! That’s a plus for me, the pool is my fav and the pool staff are super supportive!
I like dressing privately, all other YMCA 's are not private. All other Y's do not have a warm water section. This Y has a large pool. I wish all the YMCAs were like that. Also, the YMCAs are set-up old fashion and not updated. I think downriver is setup best.
I enjoy the different types of excerise choices. Friendly staff who are ready to help. I have met so many new people, who have become friends. I have also enjoyed many events there.

Clean and friendly
