Member Testimonials
The staff is very accommodating and helpful. The facility is well cared for, sanitary and in great operational condition. All efforts are made to provide a comfortable, productive and healthy experience.
Usually staff is pretty friendly and knowledgeable and judgement free. I enjoy using the track being able to walk at my own pace.

The staff, the classes, and cleanliness
I like the variety of equipment available
Convenient from work and home. Clean. lots of good workout machines. Friendly staff.
It's a first rate facility, with great resources for body and mind. Perhaps most importantly, I really appreciate the people -- both the staff and the other members. It's a wonderful environment. Like Detroit, this Y has a big heart!
Good selection of classes, clean and friendly staff.
Great customer service and nice state-of-the-art workout equipment
Clean, friendly environment. Staff is pleasant and very helpful.
Very friendly staff and great amenities. The facility is always nice and clean.
Very friendly staff, they keep the place clean and organized. Good space between machines and equipment and a good amount of equipment. The only improvement/comment I would have would that it would be nice to have some sort of stretching bands (like yoga straps).
I love the Y downtown. Its so beautiful and I love looking out the huge windows when I workout. I don't love to workout but doing it there makes it easier to go. People are always worried about the parking but it hasn't been a problem for me yet.
The facility has so much to offer for anyone. I love the Y.
--Lap Pool - CLEAN - helpful, walking, and vigilant guards watching more carefully than any lifeguards I've ever seen. One of them found my swim fins which I had forgotten. (I know. Hard to believe I'd walk off without them.)
--Shallow pools for kids and adults learning to swim. Great personnel keeping an eye on things.
--Weight room with all those new machines for whole body workouts. You have attracted a very serious group of people working out.
--Shower room - Clean - Nice layout -Showers work well and are fixed when they don't work well. The locker room feels safe and protected.
--Attentive and friendly folks at the front desk.
--Cleaning staff doing a consistently good job everywhere.
--Overall a beautiful building and boost for Detroit.

I also invest in personal training with Colin Parks. He's a big asset to the Y. And, he's been a great steward of my fitness and mobility especially with my recuperation from a bike accident.
Very clean facility, friendly staff.
The swim instructor Alexis is phenomenal I am a senior and have tried swim lessons for a number of years from a child to young adult without success at YMCA and YWCA and this is the first time that I have felt confident and with a hope that I will succeed and learn to swim. This is my second class at Boll Family YMCA in Detroit. My experience with your facility has been positive and encouraging, thanks to Swim Instructors Alexis and Keith my first class was taught by Alexis and Keith. Both instructors were encouraging, re-assuring and displayed confident in the task to teach the students in the class to overcome fear of the water and confidence in learning to swim. The mission was accomplished in 6 lessons and I am now completing my second class and have advanced to enrolling in class number 3 Intermediate Beginners in approximately three weeks.
Alexis alone was my instructor during Class Number two and I look forward to a continuation of her ability to teach the sport with professionalism and with a touch of personalism I felt that she was truly concerned with my being confident and embracing the sport which was what I needed to complete the course. These two young adults are an asset to your facility and the goals you have for your members. Thank you Alexis and Keith. 5 Stars Kudos, JOB WELL DONE!
The Y feels like a second family! When I first moved to Detroit I didn't really know anyone. Because of this the Boll Family YMCA became my happy place. A place where I could feel accepted and where I could feel a place of community. The Y has also helped be consistent in my weight loss and fitness journey. Since being at the Y I have lost 35 pounds and it is the culture of health and fitness that has helped me keep it off. Over the course of the two years that I have been at the Y, I have seen the fitness class options go from pretty good to amazing and I'm pretty excited that these class additions will help me to accomplish my long standing fitness goals. Not only would l suggest that someone join the Boll family YMCA but I have suggested this to people that I know and at least one person has.
