The people
We love the Y, especially for my son. He's 5, about to be 6, and the staff in the childcare and swim instruction are wonderful. He literally begs to go and gets upset when we have to leave. Yesterday was his first ever day of summer camp and he asked why he had to go home, after an 8 hour day there!
The YMCA in Southgate is has a courteous, helpful staff.

The workers are great very kind and helpful
I love the water exercise.. the people are very friendly
Me and my senior friends go to the YMCA anywhere from 3-5 times a week. The Y has some great aerobics, water exercise workouts, great walking track, and gym equipment to keep everyone in your family healthy! The YMCA also has some great instructors to keep everyone motivated! I absolutely love the YMCA Downriver!
I enjoy my time at the YMCA. The staff are helpful.
The building is kept clean, the instructors are top notch, and the staff are very friendly.
I’ve been coming to the Y for many years soon after it opened I find it very clean, welcoming environment, and I’m grateful that it’s downriver! I especially like the combination of people, including plenty of families who use the facility
Good and friendly place to wok out
Awesome classes and instructors , everyone ifs friendly and helpful,great atmosphere.
My sister and I love to exercise at the YMCA pool! Great people working there too!
I just love the Y because I come home refreshed and energized and ready to face the day!
You can choose from so many different activites to suit your exercise fitness program! I started just riding the stationary bike and walking the track but I found it more exciting learning pickle ball and then I went on to chair aerbics and now I am crazy about water exercises.
The choice is up to the individual and what your body can do! For the young and strong there are weights and bar bells and all kind of harder activities. Being 82 this year the Y has helped me stay fit and enjoy life to the fullest!!!!
I enjoy the whole vibe…the people are friendly…I’ve made so many new friends…the classes are awesome…it’s just a great place to come and workout.
Helpful staff and great instructors
I like the classes and the ease of registering. Instructors are good. What I would like to see, though, is a name change for the 9:00 a.m. exercise class. Instead of Active Older Adult. Lass, I would prefer Active Senior Adult, I e heard several people mention this.

I like that the location is convenient and close to home.
The staff is very friendly.
