Member Testimonials
I go to the Macomb YMCA three times a week. I enjoy the senior classes and the instructors.
The website is easy to navigate when it is time to register for the classes, and there is a nice variety of classes available. The instructors and staff are very helpful and friendly. The facilities at the YMCA are always clean.
I love the Y!!!
I like my classes, I play pickleball there, and the staff and the people I have met in my classes have all been so nice!!!!
Wish I would have joined sooner!!
I've had a fantastic experience at my community's YMCA gym! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the positive atmosphere. The gym is always clean, well-maintained, and equipped with a great variety of machines and free weights. Whether I’m focusing on cardio, strength training, or taking a group fitness class, there’s always something to suit my needs.
I also love the sense of vigor here – it’s not just a gym; it’s a place where people of all ages and fitness levels come together to support one another. The instructors are knowledgeable and motivating, making every class both fun and challenging. Plus, the additional amenities like the pool and locker rooms really make it feel like a well-rounded fitness experience.
Overall, I highly recommend this YMCA gym to anyone looking for a supportive, inclusive, and well-equipped fitness environment. It’s truly a great place to stay active and be part of a wonderful community! Thank you,

the front desk people (Jayme, Barb & Semaj) are all very welcoming and friendly - especially Jayme - who always has a smile on her face and a friendly word for you - even at 5:30am!
Great community
I like the adult senior classes
It’s clean with newer equipment. RECONSIDER THE OUTDOOR POOL !
It’s easily repairable. Do not let this community pool be a victim of the Covid pandemic.
It’s a beautiful feature and would cost 4 times the amount to build today.. Don’t be short sighted.
the staff is friendly and helpful and the building is keep clean
The water aerobics
Y-Staff at the front desk are pleasant and helpful.
The equipment is newer, clean and in good condition.
E-Gym
TONS of really cool group workout classes.
The Sauna!!!!!!
Only thing missing is a lunch area.
I thoroughly enjoy the Senior exercise programs. However, I do miss the Tuesday session. When will will you find a replacement for KayAnne?
Staff is friendly and courteous. Facility is clean and well kept.
I APPRECIATE THE WARM GREETING FROM THE SERVICE PROVIDERS WHEN I ENTER THE BUILDING. THE INSTRUCTORS FOR WATER AEROBICS, & EXERCISE CLASS IS BOTH PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL. THE ENTHUSIASM AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAMS IS PRICELESS. THE YMCA AT SOUTH OAKLAND IS DEFINITELY ACCOMMODATING MY HEALTHY LIVING.
Great place at the Downriver YMCA. Clean, great staff, offer a quality amount of classes with great trainers. Sign up ASAP. It's fun!!!
The pools are great so are the other facilities. I have made good friends with other members over the years and meeting at the Y is an easy and fun way to get in our exercise.
the people.
Availability of classes and times
I love the variety of workouts offered. There is definitely something for everyone.
Clean, friendly, easily accessible. I enjoyed many of the classes. The only thing I would like to mention that was disappointing was the water aerobics on wed morning. The instructor just let us bounce around on the water- no structure to the class. I felt it was a waste of time and pool too crowded with people just talking. It was a social hour, not excercise. Which for some I suppose that’s what they’re looking for.
I like the community feeling of the YMCA, the outstanding FFYS swim team, and the aquatics classes offered, The teachers are great!!!
Love the staff, members and classes at the Y.
The older adult classes. You are given an opportunity to exercise at an intense, moderate or low level.
The staff are friendly and helpful. Love Zumba Gold class with Ellen!
