I like the variety of Active Older Adult Classes. Each one has a different approach & focus on different skills - Balance, stretching & strength.
The instructors are great & desk staff friendly & helpful!
Classes keep you moving and the members and staff are very friendly.
the people are great...the facility is awesome.
I enjoy the classes and all the instructors. They know what they are doing and enjoy their jobs. I like the pickleball hours and the players.
I love the free classes and everyone is very friendly.
I love the water exercise program. It keeps my old body moving.
I love the Aqua Aerobics with Lisa.
The people I meet while participating in the activities!
Very friendly staff, the coaches for classes are very knowledgeable. Met so many people there who are now great friends.
Many programs, well equipped fitness center, friendly front desk staff. Usually ample parking depending on the day and time.
The swim instructor was amazing. She was so kind and patient with the kids. The staff at the front desk were also courteous and welcomed us.
Instructors are great
Friendly staff
The new aerobics leadership group from Birmingham have done a great job of both building new aerobics structure but also adding in some of their group who are fitting in very well. Thanks!
The classes offered and the employees
Excellent senior program and all our new friends that we have met at the YMCA.
Cleanest of the locker room and the upbeat attitude of the water aerobic teachers
Great instructors and a good choice of class times.
The trainers at the YMCA are excellent. I would highly recommend the classes
great classes and good staff
I really enjoy Alyssa’s Monday morning 7:15 class! Very supportive and productive. Great options given when I have to modify for my needs.
Lisa is an amazing instructor and has built a positive and supportive community. Aqua Deep is my favorite class!
Dedicated instructors make for good outcomes. (But would like to see improvements in searching for and registering for classes. After putting a class in the cart, it isn't easy to find and put the next selection in the cart.)
Enjoy the classes
My children are able to make friends and socialize while getting in some playtime.
Welcoming staff. Clean facility. Professional pool guards. Excellent experience all around.
The lifeguards and instructors were great with the kids, and extremely professional. We plan on enrolling again.
The staff is friendly and welcoming to everyone. Very positive experience unlike the experience I had at a different location.
I love the water aerobics and exercise classes in the gym. I also have made many friends over the years.

Definitely a great place for all around family experience. There are classes, weight room, a gym, pool, sauna and child watch if needed. It would be really great if there were some kind of Grant or donations that could help get the outside pool fixed. That was a great resource for children and families during the summer. Even if there was an additional membership fee, I think people would pay it. especially if it was open to people outside of the Y membership and City of Southgate.
