Member Testimonials
#1 I'm participating in Active Older Adults exercise and Chair Yoga which I know created a healthy lifestyle. The instructors for these are knowledgeable and promote safety in performing the routines. And the groups are fun.
#2 I've found a wonderful diverse community of all ages. Conversations and fun observations prevent loneliness. With more time, I'm sure I'll have some additional friends to join me with other socializing.
#3 It was an unexpected surprise how this involvement four times a week structured how I use my time the rest of the day.
Nice people
Pool
Quick honest and helpful response from staff
We use the lap pool. Ease of getting a reservation. Friendliness of the staff and other members.
The facilities and equipment are well maintained and the staff is very helpful. I especially like the sauna after a good work out.
It's like family when I am there. The staff knows almost everyone by name and they are so nice and helpful. The gym is super clean and hardly any, if there is, wait for equipment. This Y invests in their facility, their staff, and in their community. A wonderful place to be!

Knowledgeable and very helpful staff
Friendly staff, and a lot of fitness classes.
The staff is very kind.
It's hard to pick one thing so I'll give you guys a couple. I really like that all of the cardio equipment I've used so far works and is up-to-date. I also really like how clean and nice the showers/locker room is. I previously worked out at the Downriver location and I would say about 60% of the time, the cardio equipment's software would not work properly and it was really hard to get in the flow of a workout. Also the Downriver location's locker rooms and showers were outdated (water was scalding or freezing, water pressure sucked, etc). The front desk staff were really friendly to me as well. Out of the three YMCA locations I've worked out at, I like Farmington the best so far.
Love Active Adults and Stretch classes with Lynda and also the ability to work out on my own schedule. Starting classes with Lynda almost 1-1/2 years ago helped me to get moving again and has been a big part of my weight loss journey. The whole staff at the Y, from the front desk through the instructors and maintenance team, are great - friendly, helpful, and supportive. Keep up the good work!
The environment
I love the Birmingham Y! I use the pool several times a week. I think it's the nicest pool of all the local Y's! The staff are very freindly and reliable. 5 stars *****
Friendly staff. Clean
I love the Active Oldet Adults class. The instructors are attentive to our needs; they take time to give individuals any extra help or instructions as necessary. Marietta and Vernice have created a healthy, caring, friendly environment.
