Member Testimonials
Everything is always ready to go, well maintained and friendly / knowledgeable and helpful staff.
Great facility and very good staff!
the lifeguards are amazing. they are always so friendly and welcoming. i support the mission of the YMCA and i am so hopeful that the Birmingham Y will survive. You should invite the editor of Downtown magazine to actually visit the Birmingham Y and see the diversity of people who are served by the YMCA. his recent editorial was quite damaging and shows no understanding of the value of the facility to the whole area- no just birmingham...the Y is a vital member of the whole region... good luck!
I love the yoga classes and the wellness center
Friendly atmosphere and front desk staff, great instructors, great classes

Staff is friendly and encouraging.
The members of the classes I have attended are friendly and i feel comfortable attending.
The instructors (Lynda) and her classes. They have inspired me to exercise regularly. I also use the bike/treadmill/weight machine room two days a week. The front desk staff is also great (especially Mary). I do wish the parking lot had greater capacity, especially in the summer.
Helpful and knowledgeable staff
I love the community feeling that I have gained from joining the Birmingham Y a few months ago. As a recent Birmingham boomarang resident, it can be tough to find your people in a new neighborhood, but all of the wellness classes and the instructors have been extremely welcoming and drive the attendees of their classes to be the same.
Even better, for me, I can walk to and from the center which adds another level of accessibility and connectedness for me.
Convenient and good classes for older adults.

The pool has changed my life.
Variety of classes, welcoming staff, affordable.
Nice clean and efficient
I joined specifically for the exercise facilities and pool. So far, I am enjoying it very much. They have a nice variety of cardiac machines that are all the new, updated models. They also have a full set of assisted and unassisted weight machines. And all are kept very clean including the fact that most members are conscientious and clean as they go. The rooms are big and typically crowds are small. So, while the facility is not fancy or slick - it is perfect for what I need and am very happy with what they offer especially for the price.
Cozy and has everything.
