Member Testimonials
I am taking water aerobics on Tuesday and Thursday, and really appreciate the instructor, Isaac. It is a good group, and the exercise has proven to be helpful for my leg issue. The group is very welcoming, the lifeguards are very friendly and professional, and I am always greeted by the staff at the front desk. Very pleasant experience.
The Instructor, Rachel was detailed and thorough.
The Y swim team welcomes swimmers of all skill levels and fosters success at every level. This is not common in other swim teams and should be celebrated.
The adult swim class was a great experience for my daughter. She gained a ton of confidence in the water and is excited to get out and swim at other places. Thank you so much Michele!!
I liked my instructor the best. Michelle was very patient and had most of us swimming by the third class! There was one classmate who was extremely fearful of the water and Michelle also had her feeling comfortable.
My family and I were already members of the Birmingham Y in the past. When we saw the program for free swimming classes, my husband and I jumped at the chance to improve our swimming abilities. I wanted to strengthen my swimming skills because I have a special needs child. If an emergency happens, I want to feel comfortable jumping into action. My instructor, Michelle, was the cherry on top. He was relaxed, encouraging and educated on how to improve my skills. I love everything about the Y. I wish there was one in every neighborhood (I live in Southfield).
Good trainers and facilities

Great swim program!
It’s a great place for kids in our community to learn to swim and eventually join BBD! Swim is a big part of our family thanks to the Birmingham Family YMCA!
Enjoyed the classes.
The gym and atmosphere
Every single person I've interacted with behind the desk has been friendly and helpful, the facilities are clean and the lifeguards are also friendly and attentive.
The staff is friendly and they have lots of programs and activities for both adults and kids.

Trainer Flavia is the best!
I love the pool. I do the water exercise class. I love being in the water. I can move and exercise better in the water than on land. I have knee and back issues. So being in the deep water I can really move. Please do not take the pool away from the seniors who really enjoy the exercise and the socialization.
Friendly staff. Trainer -Flavia- excellent!
Clean facility, always welcoming, healthy snacks for children and adults!
Nice variety of training options-machines, equipment suited to a full body and strength building workout… designed by Flavia! Thank you very much!
