Member Testimonials
Love the classes, the teachers, especially Lynda and Cathy, the facilities and the community. Everyone is so friendly and positive, starting my day at the Y, makes my day!
I enjoy the staff and camaraderie of the members. Helps motivate excercise.
Everybody is friendly and helpful
The quality of instructors, especially Linda and Terry. I would like to see Linda offer her stretch class again. It's exceptional. I'd also like to see the Friday low-impact class return.
I've been a member for the past ten years and feel I've benefited from the social contacts I've made during this time.
The front desk staff is friendly and helpful, a change from the past. The administrative staff is doing a very good job, too.

I give the Birmingham YMCA an A+++ Great staff, always clean despite the current covid 19 situation.
Everybody is very nice, both staff and fellow members, and the equipment is all new and clean.
The facilities
I like the group Exersize for seniors 10:00 to 11:00 am Tuesday & Thursday. I wish they have 4 to 5 days week.in future.
Everyone on staff is very friendly; the facilities (locker rooms), while older, are very clean; I'm usually there 3 days a week to swim, I like having the ability to reserve a swim lane, though it would be great if this could be done online rather than over the phone. I appreciate the masking, social distancing, and cleaning. I've only been a member for a few months, but I've really enjoyed the facilities.
Exceeded all my expectations! It's a lot of fun!
Close to home. I just want to do a workout and go. Simple and quick.
Very clean, cheerful facility. Very friendly, helpful staff. Especially accommodating for us "senior citizens!"
When speaking on the phone and in person, the staff were brilliant and very helpful.
I like the small intimate atmosphere at this Y. Not the newest or largest Y in the area but well maintained and the staff is very friendly. Having the gym open for basketball when not being used for scheduled activities is a big plus! And the new weight machines are nice.
Amount and variety of equipment.
I love it
The people!
Just joined the Birmingham Y and I have felt so welcome in that facility. Always greeted with a smile and very helpful staff !!
