A great place with a great staff running it! I have, I believe , had approximately 7-8 people from Huntington Woods join. There is no room, but if the new one is ever built, I think a SENIOR room lounge with a coffee machine and a large flat screen tv would be a game changer. Speaking of TV, we need to have a choice of Fox news and CNN available on the treadmills and other machines who get tv. By having those two channels you would eliminate any political issues etc. Also, closed captions should be on all the channels and not just 1! You definitely and have a strong community feeling amongst the patrons who come to the Royal Oak Y. Keep up the great job!

Many of the instructors are welcoming and friendly. The classes are health oriented and taught by skilled and experienced instructors. Classes are really geared to getting people good exercise experiences. Different and not run of the mill old time routines. I have learned so many different versions of exercises. There is something for everyone.m

The social aspect of being with other folks my age. I attend the yoga and active older adults passes and like the other people very much. Thank you for providing those classes at the 11:00 hour, which is perfect for me and I have heard others express the same thoughts. We have time to have our coffee before we come! Thanks againmo
