The YMCA downriver is really nice. All kinds of equipment. The staff is wonderful. I definitely recommend going there.
The facility, staff.
Very clean Y with extremely helpful staff....
Water fitness and Tai Chi
There is a very positive community atmosphere at the S Oakland Y. The management sets the tone for the staff who make everyone feel welcome. I appreciate and participate in many of the classes, which has had a huge impact on my physical and mental wellbeing. I wouldn’t be able attend classes if there were extra fees for them. I am grateful for the Y.
The Y provides 2 pools. The therapy pool is filled with warm water and excellent classes during the week. The Robertson lap pool also provides classes but on a more vigorous scale and the feel of the water as you get in invigorates your mind and body to get going and stretch and move.
Something about being in the water changes your whole day in a positive way.
Enjoy the senior classes also.
All of the staff are exceptionally welcoming, professional, energetic, and kind. It is a community though loose. The lifeguards are particularly great patient observant, encouraging and friendly.
I love the water aerobics classes!! I’ve been using the Y pool for 46 years! My daughter who just turned 46 had swim lessons with me at 6 months of age. I swam laps for years I have made many friends at the Y. We still see each other there. I also have used the weight room machines and after swimming go for a little bike ride on the machines. The water exercises certainly are the best way for me to exercise as I worry about falling! Knees amd hips are replaced and the gentle water exercises make it possible as I can’t fall down in the water!!!!!
Best family friendly environment. I feel like I'm being set up for success instead of a money grab.
Joined last week and already been to an event and joined a step competition.

Fantastic customer service
I like the AOA and chair yoga. That's all I've participated in.
It’s convenient
The staff at the front desk are friendly and helpful; I look forward to greeting them every time I arrive.
Also, the equipment is well-stocked and everything I need for my workout is always available (except maybe, occasionally, balance balls, when they are being used by a class).
Great personal trainers and friendly staff.
You promote a very family friendly environment. I always feel comfortable while there and would recommend spending time there with all those I know. Keep up the good work. Thanks
The downriver YMCA is consistently clean, well staffed and well-maintained. It makes my exercise routine easier to do. I am also impressed with all the other family, youth and community activities that are held at the downriver YMCA. I think it’s an excellent community resource.
I love the people and classes at the Farmington Hills, MI YMCA. However, registering for classes can be very challenging because there are few instructors.
Quality equipment, cheery and helpful staff.
It's multicultural vibe is it's superpower! Fun meeting new people and the quality instructors!
