I am so happy I finally took the opportunity to take advantage of Renew (Silver Sneakers). I LOVE the water aerobics classes and our instructor Nancy Warden. While keeping it fun and changing it up we get a great all around water workout. Wishing I would have taken the opportunity sooner. Such a wonderful group of fun and caring people.
I love the Y…it’s the new App I have issues with.
Nancy is always pushes to get the most out the class..Nice variety of exercises each class. Locker room is nice and clean .
I mostly attend the classes.
The staff at the front desk is great - friendly & helpful.
The instructors make the classes fun.
We love the silver sneakers work outs on Monday and Wednesday mornings. Everyone who works there are very nice. The facility is very clean.
Because they have all the program and resources you need as a family in one place. All you need is just to show up.
I like that there are planned activities and that they vary day to day.
Hours of operation.
I love the classes and just swimming. As long as the areas stays clean, I will be swimming.
Staff is awesome
Family!
The summer camp is an AMAZING program! All of the counselors, directors, down to Miss Sherry who signs everyone in and out, is always welcoming and friendly! They make sure that every camper is welcomed and comfortable! Will always recommend!
I thought the exercises and the coach were fantastic.
The instructor (Nancy) is always challenging us, and the group is great - like s bunch of friends.
There is a young man named Jacob that works the desk at the Southgate Michigan YMCA. My wife and I feel he should be recognized for his kindness and professionalism. He ALWAYS greets us when coming and leaving the Y. As senior citizens, we find it refreshing to find a young man who is polite and engaging with older citizens. Good job Jacob!!
I really enjoy the morning body pump class and the low impact aerobic class. Both instructors are great. I wish you could get a daytime yoga class. Also it would be nice if you staggered the class times so people were able to do two classes in a row.
Everyone was considerate especially when my child was having challenges with transitioning from cub camp to 5&6.
The Y is our home away from home. From swim lessons, gym access, free class and child watch, there are a number of activities for our family to participate in. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the facility is well maintained.
The facility is well maintained. Most of the coaches are very kind to the students and work well with them individually as well as in a group. My children are always excited to go to swim class.
The instructor is friendly, helpful and direct. The class always starts and ends on time. The people in the class are fun, accomodating and great to work with. The facility is always clean.

Water Aerobics
It has a lot to offer.
Awesome classes and instructors.

Great pool. Nancy is very good
I recommend the Carls Family YMCA all the time. My grandson worked there this year as a camp counselor. The Y is the most inclusive place he’s ever been. He has mild to moderate Cerebral Palsy and doesn’t let anything get in the way of having a full life. The Y welcomed him as an employee and as a member. He was/is always treated as fully capable and like everyone else which has boosted his confidence and overall well being. Thank you Carls Family YMCA and Andy Mac for being such a great boss and leader.
Very organized, unlike the downtown ymca.

I love th Y since I discovered water exercises every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It helps keep my muscles and tendons strong so I can move with very little pain with my RA arthrities,
Before this I learned to play pickle ball which was a little too strenuous for me and before that simply walkng the track and riding the exercise bike. Every phase of exercise is good for us but I love the water exercises the best!
