Member Testimonials
Love Active Adults and Stretch classes with Lynda and also the ability to work out on my own schedule. Starting classes with Lynda almost 1-1/2 years ago helped me to get moving again and has been a big part of my weight loss journey. The whole staff at the Y, from the front desk through the instructors and maintenance team, are great - friendly, helpful, and supportive. Keep up the good work!
The environment
I love the Birmingham Y! I use the pool several times a week. I think it's the nicest pool of all the local Y's! The staff are very freindly and reliable. 5 stars *****
The warm, friendly atmosphere with staff and members.
Clean, friendly / helpful staff and adequate facilities and equipment in working condition.
The quality of instruction in the group yoga, barre, spinning, and tone classes is superior. Even beyond that which is available in expensive clubs in Birmingham. The Y has great trainers who can really make a difference in your physical condition.

Great staff and friendly members.
Extremely friendly staff! Exceptional facility
I do use the exercise room / gym, the weight room and the sauna, sometimes the pool. I appreciate the sauna most, but I am really glad that there is a pool, too. I would love to also be part of group classes, but find the offerings a little bit thin, and the timing not very convenient for me. I would appreciate more of them and more in the evening, i.e. in the 6 pm to 8 pm time slot.
Friendly, reliable, just what I need
Like the pool and the women’s locker room. Front desk staff is very friendly and helpful.
The staff was very helpful and polite!
All of the classes and friendly staff
There is a lot to like at the Y. However, I believe what it is that I like best is the tradition.
I have a very fond memory of my dad telling me stories of when he was a young boy and how much fun he had at the YMCA in Detroit. I find it very telling that all these decades later the Y is still thriving and so many people are still enjoying it, just like my dad did.
I'd be remiss if I did not also mention the feeling I get when I walk into Y. It is unpretentious and somehow very calming. Yet at the same time there's a great energy and it's a very supportive place to be. No matter your age or interests, there are numerous options in regard to classes and fitness levels. I enjoy it thoroughly and would recommend it to anyone!
The staff, basketball court, and large equipment room.

Engaging and well-trained wellness staff. Great yoga, barre, and group weight training classes. Better informed instructors. You will see results in strength, fitness and flexibility at the Y. Better than the results you might see at other "high end" clubs. Yeah. Really.
Knowledgeable and very helpful staff
