Member Testimonials
Birmingham Y offers more classes I am interested in than the Royal Oak Y. Your open hours are better than Royal Oak.
The large variety of classes
Silver sneakers class with Linda. She is awesome!
Great staff and director. Very friendly. Excellent!!
The pool is great. Water temperature has been perfect lately. I like it on the warmer side, I know some people think it might be too warm, but it's nice for me. Friendly staff also. Easy check in/out process. Building seems clean.
Thank you!
Friendly patrons, senior citizen centered, and courteous young man at the front desk.
I really love the child watch employees. Cheryl, and John are so good with my daughter. I’ve been to other YMCA’s and they are the best.
I like the smaller, more personal facility, staff is helpful and friendly.

Ckeanliness
There are a wide range of classes to choose from and the instructors are wonderful. I can not say enough positive remarks about the helpful staff. Joining is the best decision I've made for myself in a long time.
Great pool schedule. Pool schedule in royal oak is terrible.
Great facility with friendly staff. Modern equipment and great locker rooms with steam and sauna for after workout relaxation. It would be good if you could add electric vehicle charging in the lot.
Friendly staff, clean facilities and the parking is very convenient compared to the Downtown Detroit Y.
We are new members and everyone has been so helpful.
Friendliness of the staff. Participants are pleasant people to participate with.
Great people, good equipment that's well maintained.
The staff, the members and the size of the facilities.
Great experience so far, very friendly staff
I am really starting to enjoy the facilities. I do have a problem with the guest policy for this facility. One of the reasons why I signed up was that when I was reviewing the policy online there was no mention of a guest fee. When I brought a guest with me to enjoy the facilities I was told there was s fifteen dollar guest fee, there was no mention of this in the paperwork I reviewed. This is very inconvenient and will be the reason why I cancel my membership after the first month. While I really enjoy access to the facilities, I have no interest in continuing membership with this policy in place.
Silver sneakers is a great program.
great staff, safe and clean and sanitized facilities, varied equipment for every need
I mostly use the pool, staff are always very nice, the variety of machines available for cardio and weight training is good, I don't have any little kids any more but the place is always hopping with programs for kids and families, which is nice to see. Locker rooms, while dated, are always very clean, I like them better than some newer designed spaces at other gyms that seem a little questionable cleanliness-wise. I feel they have pretty good COVID safety measures.
I appreciate having a place to comment exercise. And the fact that I can do it after work is amazing

I've been a member for over 20 years. I love the group exercise classes. Friendly staff and members bring me back.
It's a great introduction to sports for young kids at an affordable price. I recommend trying it out!
