Member Testimonials
This YMCA is fortunate to be the only one in Michigan with the EGYM system. Many classes offered.
One complaint - the locker room shower stalls and walls are not cleaned of scum build-up or sanitized. Are the locker room floors sanitized?
I love the pleasant atmosphere and the EGym.
The fitness classes are excellent during the day! However, for those of us who work during the day, I feel that there are very few class offerings in the evening. There is only one night of cardio on Monday. The weightlifting is too basic in the evening. I would appreciate cardio at 5:45 pm or 6:30. 6:40 is getting late for those of us who get up at 5am, like teachers.
I love the Y, but very disappointed in the evening class offerings.
People are very friendly.
Good facility, friendly, helpful staff
I love this gym! Very clean, stocked with all of the equipment you’ll need.
I like the pool hours and the staff of our local YMCA.
Yoga classes
The convenient location and several swim classes.
Friendly staff
Very good and challenging aerobics/weight lifting class for seniors.
Clean and fun
Great exercise classes for all ages and many non exercise but enrichment classes for kids.
I like the instructors commitment to the Y members
What I love most about the Birmingham YMCA is the people. I am part of the Tuesday/Thursday Aerobic Swimming class. We have a great time & are keeping our bodies strong & working. Average age of our class members/friends is 60 -80+. I have had multiple back surgeries & a Beck surgery in the past 10-15 years & am convinced that the aerobic swim & the socialization has helped me to keep moving well & emotionally stronger. The thought of this activity "going away" is startling & disappointing. The only thing I would correct is to have correspondence between the Aquatic Mgr. & the swimmers be more direct& we NOT NEED to go on an app to find if there is a change or cancelation in the swim schedule. We are not "internet dependant" for our interaction with others. A single, group email alert from the Mgr. on closings of the pool or schedule changes should not depend on our having to go to the Y app. I consistently recommend the Birmingham YMCA to friends encouraging them to join & improve their physical & mental health.
swimming, exercise classes/instructors, gym equipment
Excellent class instructor (Cathy) for Yoga and Chair YOGA.
Friendly staff
I swim several times a week, and I love it
I like the variety of classes offered at the YMCA. The trainers are good
I don't like that we have to register every four weeks now. That will make more work for the staff that work the front desk
I hope in 2026 Senior Sneakers are still grandfathered for lower rate and reimbursement.
The pool, I don’t swim but exercising in the water helps my hips and knees. Everyone is very pleasant and friendly so being there is very calming experience.
Large variety of workout equipment. Only downfall very few people wipe off equipment after using it.
Group exercises for seniors and the instructors.
