Member Testimonials
Open pickle ball is a great winter activity for me.
I like the number and types of equipment available. The Y is open long enough to serve my needs. And I like the group activity options. I sometimes wish there were more group classes and times as they frequently are filled long before the sessions begin.
I like that everyone is nice and very friendly!
Staff and the people doing the classes!!

People are friendly and the facilities clean
It is an easy place to accomplish difficult, but necessary things.
the lifeguards are amazing. they are always so friendly and welcoming. i support the mission of the YMCA and i am so hopeful that the Birmingham Y will survive. You should invite the editor of Downtown magazine to actually visit the Birmingham Y and see the diversity of people who are served by the YMCA. his recent editorial was quite damaging and shows no understanding of the value of the facility to the whole area- no just birmingham...the Y is a vital member of the whole region... good luck!

You need to have more than two recumbent bikes on the first floor. I bring my dad and I often cannot exercise with him because the second bike isn’t an available. I can’t leave him so I do t get to exercise
There are so many options for working out. The equipment is new and well maintained and Patty keeps the facility looking and smelling clean!
I like the classes offered, the intstructors and the community feel.
