Member Testimonials

I love the YMCA especially the water aerobic class

good vibe...good people.

Staff are friendly and helpful, facilities are clean and well managed. The location is amazing

I love the classes, especially with Nadia

The reception staff are helpful and te AOA instructors are very good and the attendees are friendly.

What I like best about my Y experience are the classes, the awesome instructors, and the Y community members. It would be nice to have additional group fitness classes and longer pool hours to be added to the current schedule. Overall, the Boll YMCA is still a great place to train and workout.

Community and quality group classes

I love the sense of community I have from the Y. Not only do I get a great workout in with all of the available equipment and classes, but I feel connected to the other Y members, Y staff, and larger Detroit community through supporting and joining such a great organization.

Great people, supports an important cause, very good value for exercise, good for all of us!

Friendly Staff!

Love the vibe. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Option for a personal trainer is extremely helpful for me to achieve my goals. Great selection of equipment.

It's a clean facility. There are lots of machines and weights to use. The track is great alternative for the treadmill.

The only thing I don't like is how bad 25% of the people lifting are at reracking their weights. Can there be like penalties or a ban for these people?

This facility allows me to be apart of The Silver Sneakers, The instructors they have are Great!! I also love the welcoming of YOUTHS of all ages, The Y has enormous activities that challenges their adventurous minds!! Also the fact the Y has a pool and a Scheduled water aerobics itenary! I also am grateful that my Grandson has a membership and he soars to the BASKETBALL 🏀 COURT!! The Y is CLEANED, SAFE the staff are respectful and on their watch!!! I appreciate the Y being at the ❤️ of Downtown Detroit! My only issue is the parking 😒....but overall I love coming to the Y...

I liked it,, I couldn’t find the elliptical’s ,,,,the southgate YMCA has lots of spray bottles to use compared to only a few there,,

i literally drive a little ways in order to take the pilates class. I truly enjoy the teacher and her teaching method.

I love that the Y is a place where everyone can feel comfortable. I have developed a great group of friends through StageFIT.

Everything

This is a great facility - great staff and great equipment and pool and track and climbing wall, etc.!!!

I love the ballet class.

Helpful staff. Lots of programs to choose from. Love cycling class…go coach Brown!!! I especially enjoy the wellness programs. So many places to stretch and do your own thing.

It's very family oriented. I really enjoy the fact that I'm able to keep my granddaughter entertained and engaged

Great facility and staff!

Clean, frienly atmosphere

Friendly staff and clientele. Clean facility. The machines are maintained in good working order. Getting to know other members. It not only gives you the opportunity for a good work out but it offers a sense of belonging and feeling important to the overall operation.

Love my AOA and yoga classes last year

I just really enjoy the atmosphere and the good people I have met over the years at the Y. I swim early in the morning, and it's the best way to start my day; not just the swimming but the collegiality with the other swimmers. Generally everyone is considerate of other swimmers, and there's no competitive feeling. Beginners and leisure swimmers feel as comfortable as those who are much more advanced.

What I like is the many programs that are provided for people of all ages and abilities weather you're a beginner or a long time programer it's like a no judgement zone where all are welcome.

The Y in Detroit is awesome. Lot's of space, great facilities, and friendly people.

Easy entry, clean facilities with hours that suit our family’s needs. Thank you!!
