Member Testimonials
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.

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.
