I use the lap pool, previously you had to request your time for the pool. I found this method worked for me. I really disliked sharing a lane for swimming. But I will continue to use the pool, I have to be more aware of the times that I use the pool.
It has a wonderful gym.
Pool, classes, new weight room. Most people I talk to don’t end up joining because they are concerned about parking.
It is a friendly place. All kinds of people use this facility. I was a very old Silver Sneaker participant, but age and taking care of someone has made it very difficult for me to participate
. I especially love to see the children being taken care of. It is clean here and downtown.

The Boll is so nice and modern. The facilities are great. Parking is very difficult. Also the metal fixtures in the Family Lockeroom Bathroom are all rusty and could use some attention. But overall we love the Boll!
The place is very clean and staff is very nice
The life guard on duty and all of the pool personel were more than helpful, curteous and friendly to me today. I felt very safe and becuase I am a senior and I have to use a walker. Being in the downtown community I will be coming on a regular schedule.
My experience have been great
As a YMCA scholarship recipient member, I just want to say THANK YOU. You make it possible for me to afford access to a gym, swimming pool, weights, a climbing wall, and classes here in Detroit. Access to affordable fitness, often a luxury reserved for those of higher economic means, helps me to take care of my body. As an urban farmer, I love to swim at the Y since it is a great cardiovascular exercise that is easy on my joints. Yoga at the Y also helps me to stay strong and flexible on the farm. Taking care of my body is top priority; your donation to the YMCA scholarship program makes it possible for me and others like myself. Your generosity makes a difference to us!
It's just all love.
Great place to workout if you live or work downtown.

Great instructors. Great facility.
