The exercise programs
We love the Y. I just wish the basketball courts were bigger or had two courts. One court for playing and one for practicing.
My daughter particpated in the summer camp, and really enjoyed it - the play, field trips, swimming, and I liked that you all had her reading, doing educational activities as well. I notice the facility has a certain vibe, great spirit among the staff and the members.
I enjoy the class ....facility is clean...staff.are very friendly and helpful.
I love that the Y is very family friendly and has opportunities for both myself and my son. I love how the programs are fairly priced and staff is kind and friendly. My son is very sensitive and was highly upset about this metal art family sculpture outside the building, he was sad the family couldn't come into the y and enjoy it like he could and that they didn't have warm clothes. The staff at the Y heard about this and the next time we showed up the family had clothes on. It was so sweet and kind
I love the staff, members, and all the free classes.

The body boot camp class and the room was well organized.
I have been a member of the Y for over 30 years. I love the pool aerobics the best, but I enjoy the exercises in the gym. I come to the Y five days a week. I also have made many wonderful friends through the years at the Y. The staff and teachers are the best

Everybody was very friendly and helpful and efficient!
The gym is great. I did not like the fact that for a woman to use the pool, the person must go up and down stairs while wet (showering before entry into the pool and returning after using the pool).
Great pool friendly staff very involved in the community.
One platform has multiple activity that helps to be everybody wellness
The convenience of being located in downtown Detroit, the cleanliness of the center, especially the pool, and the friendliness of the staff.
Addressing senior classes. Wish the instructor would address the class at the beginning of each new enrollment period so newbies are brought up to speed as what the class will encompass and answer questions/concerns in partaking in class.
The feeling of belonging to a very diverse community as well as the cleanliness and well equipped facilities
