I love the Y!!!
I like my classes, I play pickleball there, and the staff and the people I have met in my classes have all been so nice!!!!
Wish I would have joined sooner!!
Y-Staff at the front desk are pleasant and helpful.
The equipment is newer, clean and in good condition.
E-Gym
TONS of really cool group workout classes.
The Sauna!!!!!!
Only thing missing is a lunch area.
I APPRECIATE THE WARM GREETING FROM THE SERVICE PROVIDERS WHEN I ENTER THE BUILDING. THE INSTRUCTORS FOR WATER AEROBICS, & EXERCISE CLASS IS BOTH PLEASANT AND PROFESSIONAL. THE ENTHUSIASM AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAMS IS PRICELESS. THE YMCA AT SOUTH OAKLAND IS DEFINITELY ACCOMMODATING MY HEALTHY LIVING.
Clean, friendly, easily accessible. I enjoyed many of the classes. The only thing I would like to mention that was disappointing was the water aerobics on wed morning. The instructor just let us bounce around on the water- no structure to the class. I felt it was a waste of time and pool too crowded with people just talking. It was a social hour, not excercise. Which for some I suppose that’s what they’re looking for.
Friendly, good pool hours
Convenience
I took Adult Swim Basics with Andrea, and she is incredible! I gained so much confidence over the 7 weeks of class, and hit all my goals for swimming and safety in the water. She is such an excellent instructor, I have recommended the class to anyone I know who can't swim.
Overall, the facility is very clean, and I ended up signing up as a full member as a result of my experience in the swim class.
Very friendly staff and welcoming to everyone.
On my first visit, it was very welcoming. Very busy.
I just like the YMCA reminds me of when I was a little girl it was free then.
The variety of fitness activities and the friendly, community environment.
I really appreciate the flexibility and affordability of the Y, with the childcare for my kids, and the variety of group classes that I can enjoy!
it is a very welcoming community.
Most friendly people. Always feel welcome there.
My Y family ( members and staff ) is as important to me as the workouts.
I get my daly dose of laughter, communication and exercise, who could ask for more?
Totally the best place to workout. Just need more bikes downstairs. Staff and equipment are the best. Camaraderie too.

Customer service is amazing, enjoying the E-Gym, and walking on the treadmill. Building is always clean and welcoming.
comprehensive workout facilities
The friendly staff at the front desk. This is a contrast to what it was several years ago when I thought there was no attempt to be welcoming.

Entering the YMCA, Your staff always welcomes you and ask how you are doing! The equipment is always available and the gym assistance is there to answer questions and help if needed! I can do my workout routine and get out in a timely manner. I always recommend the Royal Oak YMCA to anybody that is looking for a GREAT GYM!! All 10ssssss
