Member Testimonials

I had used the Livonia Y for 5 years, when it closed during Covid, and never opened again, I was lost. Some of the Water Aerobics classes had gone to the Farmington Hills Y, but most quit because of the long drive there.
Well, I realized that my body flexibility had diminished in 3 years, so I went up for a visit, and to sign up for water aerobics classes again. The office staff was instantly eager to help me fill out the application, very helpful to explain it all, had a counter person walk me through all the parts of the Y, to see all the really nice structural improvements that happened last year - from a giant donation from local folks who realized that improvements needed to be made, and gave a HUGE amount to redo many things - the most noticeable improvements are completely new locker rooms, all new lockers, new showers, new walls, benches, sauna, hot tub, EVERYTHING. And the Director - Douglas Edwards - spent time explaining all the upgrades they were able to make, that nobody sees - water and plumbing issues have all been upgraded so repairs are so much easier when they happen.

So - I started at once in the pool, found that the instructors for the pool classes are really nice, talk loud, for folks like me that leave our hearing aids back in the lockers, and are very humorous with their instructions, know everyone's names, and are completely conscious of all the various physical stages we are in, and keep instructing, even as they operate the special lift for handicapped folks to get into and out of the pool. Fantastic Staff !
Oh, did I mention that EVERYONE that I had a question for - responded with a smile, and an appropriate answer? Even the gal who makes sure we remember to check in electronically, with the Y card- everyone seems eager to pass on a smile - like - happy to see you !! Phil C

The wide variety of people I meet and work out with

Great challenging HITT Tabata and boot camp style classes, stepper and Zumba, and cycle. Nice weight room. Whirlpool .

Guidelines from Rebecca and I can do my routines rain or shine.

Staff is friendly. There's a lot of programs to choose from. My elderly parents are always able to find assistance in the workout equipment from staff.

The Y has been a staple in the Detroit and suburban areas for a long time. I can always remember when I was younger going to the Y.

Decades later, I still love the Y

Facility appears clean and programs well organized.

Great selection of classes, convenient location, knowledgeable instructors, free if included in your insurance.

I enjoy the heated pool sooooooo much! The people are friendly and Lisa is a great teacher 🥰

Over the past two years the Farmington Y has completed many upgrades, especially to the locker rooms, and it shows.

The only area I think needs improvement is what amounts to almost constant changing of personnel at the front desk and in the Wellness Center. No comment yet about the new people, but most of the "old" ones were keepers.

The Y has many classes available. The swimming and Zumba classes are terrific. There aren’t any other places that have so much to offer as you try to improve your health - or maintain it. Also, the clerks and teachers are very friendly and helpful.

The employees are friendly, courteous and helpful when needed. The "Y" has all the facilities I need, and it's kept neat and clean

Super friendly and helpful staff!

the building of relationships over the years.

Friendly, cost-effective, a true community experience!

Love both pools. Lap swim is great & water aerobics is super. Guards do their job.

My family and I enjoy the family atmosphere.
