Member Testimonials
group classes, reasonable membership cost, friendly staff
Friendly & accepting atmosphere! Very family forward 😊
The downriver Y is big and clean, with many options for exercise and well-being. I especially liked the pool and indoor walking (or running) track. The staff at the desk were very friendly and informative.
It is affordable for families and close to my home.
Staff are amazing, the facilities are great and they have a variety of classes for everyone in the family
Friendly, easy to use, clean
Good morning, I’ve been a member of the Birmingham Ymca since 1988 love the community atmosphere that the staff provides.
The staff
I just really enjoy the atmosphere and the good people I have met over the years at the Y. I swim early in the morning, and it's the best way to start my day; not just the swimming but the collegiality with the other swimmers. Generally everyone is considerate of other swimmers, and there's no competitive feeling. Beginners and leisure swimmers feel as comfortable as those who are much more advanced.
Variety of classes, equipment, pool, activities
Your desk staff and instructors are fabulous. I never have to wait in line. The room for Zumba is huge and has a long window, and the instructor is on a platform so I can actually see them. You are less expensive than other gyms, BTW.
The group classes have a lot of participants.
I really like the instructors for stretch, zumba and Active Older Adults.
Everything!
The staff is amazing!
Everyone is very friendly,knowledgeable,and takes their time explaining.
The exercise area is complete, clean, and available.
I enjoy coming there to work out
I love the step class on Mondays.
Love the exercise room
Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Also enjoy the fitness offerings.
What I like is the many programs that are provided for people of all ages and abilities weather you're a beginner or a long time programer it's like a no judgement zone where all are welcome.
Swimming and pickleball and the nice people at the counter.
Swimming in therapy pool
The Y in Detroit is awesome. Lot's of space, great facilities, and friendly people.
I love the pool and hot tub area the best.
I like the variety of people who use the Y and I feel very comfortable there. The staff are very welcoming and it is very clean.
Easy entry, clean facilities with hours that suit our family’s needs. Thank you!!
The facility is very clean and staff is always very friendly and helpful.
I like playing pickleball there. Disappointed with limited times allocated to pickleball while other Y locations (Farmington) offer pickleball 7 days a week. I’ve noticed 20 plus players waiting to play pickleball while the other side of gym may have 1 to 3 people shooting hoops or even nobody in the open gym. With the Birmingham Y closing soon I expect the will be even greater demand for pickleball time. Please reevaluate! Thanks
The staff is very friendly . The facility is very clean . I drive fro Howell t come to the YMCA . The pool is always warm .
The Farmington location of the YMCA is where my family and I signed up.
The staff are forthcoming and knowledgeable, we were granted a tour on our very first visit and enjoyed what we were becoming a part of.
Since we visit 3/4 times per week and are pleased with our experiences.
Good morning, my family and I have the best time playing basketball or running the indoor track.
