The Y not only provides classes but a welcoming place to meet friends and to encourage each other
The Y on 11 Mile Road in Royal Oak is very clean and everything is well maintained. Along with a variety of classes offered, the convenient hours and plentiful exercise equipment ensure that you can always get a good workout. Joining the Y is one of the best things we've done for our health.

Pool and senior exercise classes
Everything !

So far this YMCA branch is clean on the inside and during warmer weather it appears clean on the outside grounds. The class offerings are good, though I may not be able to take advantage of classes due to my work schedule. The staff who work the front desk are pleasant and helpful.
Things that bother me at another fitness entity that I hope do not ever become issues at this or any YMCA location are extremely loud talking (not necessary), profane language (a violation of other people’s right not to hear it), nastily kept locker and pool areas, grounds littered with trash while the workers sit around instead exhibiting care for the business grounds/facility by picking up trash to maintain a clean appearance.
So, so far and I hope never, the Royal Oak Y is good.
