Member Testimonials
Friendly people
I really like the Downriver Y. First, it is always clean; the staff are nice and helpful, and I love connecting with people when I workout or swim. I also love the family friendly environment.
Space in the pool to swim 30 laps a day as recommended for Parkinson's Disease.
I can go there anytime and its safe to walk there. I just started using the NUSTEP machine. I love it. It is the best therapy for me to be out and keeping myself active.at the age of 82 years old. Hopefully I'm going to be able to qualify for lower monthly rates. I'm losing my silver sneakers insurance that has allowed me to come covered by my insurance.
Always clean. Desk team always helpful and friendly

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!
