Member Testimonials
I enjoy the water aerobics program the Y provides! They have one of the few pools in the area that can provide deep water aerobics for people with special needs—esp of the spine!
My son has learned so much and gained so much confidence swimming with Sam. We truly appreciate him and Jill.
The variety of programs that you have for everybody or ages family individuals groups, etc. I am a senior and I like the fact that you take the silver sneakers or the Medicare Medicaid and or insurance program payments or discounts given
There are lots of classes to choose from depending on ones fitness level. Open pickleball everyday but Saturday. Friendly and helpful staff at the desk. Great value for the price
Friendly , fun classes the instructors are great. I had met so many friends just going to the ymca
Variety of classes. I wish you offered pilates and yoga on Saturday.
The senior fitness classes are good. The negative about the ymca in Farmington Hills is that the warm therapy pool isn't very warm and even worse, it's rarely open.
Classes.
Well I'm just getting started, but I like the gym area and track, I haven't used the pool yet but it looks great. I kind of wish there was some music to listen too. But so far everyone has been so kind and pleasant, I just am very grateful to be able to come. Everyone seems good about spraying down equipment after use. I really hope to perhaps make some new friends while I'm here.

The atmosphere
LYNN is the best!
The swimming program at the Y has been great! The teachers are knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint would be how hard it is to get into classes because they fill up quickly.
The staff and lifeguards are friendly and courteous. I enjoy the instruction aquatic classes. The classes are stimulating and structured. It’s great to meet and socialize with new people.
