Pool classes are awesome
A limited experience so far, but the Birmingham YMCA has very helpful staff and facilities and activities ro cater to all. The facility looks very clean.

The cleanliness, the free fitness/yoga classes and the flexible hours.
I have liked working out with Flavia as my personal trainer. She is extremely knowledgeable. I interviewed two female personal trainers before m, but she was the first one who wanted to know my personal health concerns. Also, the Y is only about a 10-minute drive for me.
That's it's a peaceful place to work out. Everyone is considerate
Quiet & friendly atmosphere
I really like the classes that focus on wellness such as body pump, yoga, etc.

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.
Great place to workout in a group of with a friend. Best equipment
friendly staff, close by home.
