Member Testimonials
The swim programs are great at the Y! The instructors are spectacular! Patient and willing to work with the kids to have them learn to swim, not just teach them. My son was nearly afraid of the water and after 3 sessions, we can't get him out of the water most times. Applause the the YMCA!
The spin classes!! Just wish there were more times to choose from!! & child watch room of course!!

I love the fitness classes you offer. Especially Strength training with Izzy and Cycling with Betsy.
It’s a great experience and the people are nice
Very nice, employees are very helpful.
The staff is always friendly and willing to help in any way. I like the variety of classes and I love Pat's chair yoga class! I also appreciate that Susan worked with me when I had financial difficulties when my insurance would no longer pay for classes.
Your instructors are very hands-on and there’s plenty of extra help around
I love our community. Positive, supportive, healthy vibes!
The senior noon classes.
If you are personally motivated to push yourself, then group classes are an efficient, enjoyable and financially affordable option for improving your fitness. Also, very good access to fitness equipment.
The kids like the instructor (Terra), and she does a great job coaxing them towards progress, even when they're a bit scared to try something new.
Great programs, facilities and great class leaders
Like the walk area
The YMCA Royal Oak is very clean and everyone is friendly. So far (it's only been two weeks and I have attended the water aerobics classes last week and yesterday so only 3x), the class is great, instructors are good and people in class are so nice.
My daughter loves her swim class. Miss Katrina is a great swim teacher!
