Member Testimonials
I like the free weights equipment in the rooms upstairs, I like Erica's Zumba classes and Body Combat.
The Royal Oak YMCA has been a great choice! As a senior citizen, our health insurance allows us to join one of most of the gyms in the area, but the Y has eGym, classes, running track, bikes and treadmills, and pool, all of which offer us a great variety of options for working out.
Friendly staff and quality programs!
Best personal trainer- Flavia- an expert and superb trainer!

Convenient price good
Great facility. Great equipment. Great staff. .
For over 20 years I have enjoyed exercising at Carls Family YMCA. It has been my social place to go for fun, good friends and a nice clean place to exercise in well instructed classes (or to do my own workout in the newly renovated Wellness Center.) It fits in my lifestyle visiting daily, usually five days a week.
Friendly people all around....Mary is ver helpful!
I love to swim and one of the few places you can do laps
Love the Y as way more sociable than that Planet
Great variety of programs.
INSTRUCTORS ARE GREAT AND SO FRIENDLY!!
CLASSES ARE EXCELLENT TO KEEP UP OUR STRENGTH AND MOBILITY!!!
STAFF AT FRONT DOOR TO WELCOME US!!

I am at the South Oakland YMCA every morning, 7 days a week, for an hour - I can work out, maintain my health, and be amongst friends who feel like family. I've been a member more than 30 years - the staff are friendly and helpful, the offerings are fresh and plentiful, and the new E-Gym is a great addition. I wouldn't trade my Y for the lesser gyms in the area for anything.

My overall health has improved significantly since joining the Y. There are many things about the Y that I’m grateful for: it’s reasonably priced, the staff is great, there are numerous and varied classes lead by terrific instructors, new equipment is available* and the Y is a wonderful community.
It would be much appreciated by folks in the yoga classes (and similarly calming classes) if signs were posted in the 2nd floor weight room to refrain from dropping weights or medicine balls during specified times. The times being periods when the mentioned classes are in session in the room directly below.
Thank you!
It appears to me that the other user are purposeful at their exercise not just socializing.
Friendly atmosphere, great classes and equipment. The is awesome.
Wonderful clean facilities
Great staff
I've made so many new friends and I feel so much better physically since coming to YMCA.
I love the ability to use the child watch while exercising. My children have also enjoyed the Christmas and Valentine's Day parties. Love the E-gym!!' Please don't EVER get rid of it!!!!!
A great place to workout.
The people are very helpful and cheerful. The therapy pool is wonderful and the workout room has everything you need for a complete workout.Sandra Gilbert
Another great visit, Always Clean, a wide variety of new equipment, friendly staff and tranquility but active pool!
Changed my likeliness to (7) as far as referring others to the YMCA, particular seniors, because I can join Planet Fitness and pay a cheaper monthly benefit than what I am paying at the Y. Because I am a senior and no longer have Silver Sneaker benefits for the Y, it would be to my advantage and other seniors to join Planet Fitness
Its just a great place with great people. Good community
The Community Spirit surrounded by people trying to get better at Balance, Confidence and Strength.

I've only been a memer for two weeks, things are beautiful. The facility is excelent and the staff is ery professional and polite. Keep up your great work !
