Member Testimonials
The atmosphere is very friendly and supportive. The classes have been wonderful. Well organized, lots of options and welcoming atmosphere.
Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. There are great group fitness classes. And I really enjoy the eGym workout system. It's an excellent program for consistent weight training with built-in guidance. I've never been as consistent and successful with my resistance training before in my whole life. But now I'm a regular on the weight machines and I'm seeing results!
Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. There are great group classes. And I really love the eGym workout program. It is an excellent method for doing consistent, guided strength training.
Really enjoy the friendly and helpful staff and the newly upgraded spinning cycles and strength training equipment.
The pool is larger than other swim schools in the area and the training program appears be better received by our son.
I like the variety of options available. I wish there were more aerobic classes.

I love all the exercise classes, and all the people that work there. They are very kind and have great customers service 🥰
The YMCA is a community. The facilities and equipment are always clean and safe. The staff are friendly, kind, encouraging and knowledgeable. We members come in all shapes, ages, sexs, colors, backgrounds and treat the "Y" with respect.
Together we celebrate health and each other.
It's a place that feels like home. My son is free to be himself, although he's young and I'm free to be his mom while in a healthy environment. Thank you all for what you do.
Fellow Y members!!
Smaller classes and instructors are great! My kid loves swimming and looks forward to her swim lessons.
The YMCA Royal Oak is very clean and everyone is friendly. So far (it's only been two weeks and I have attended the water aerobics classes last week and yesterday so only 3x), the class is great, instructors are good and people in class are so nice.
Great classes and responsive staff!
Fun lifeguards
Everyone from the front desk in is very friendly. The locker rooms are always clean and there is always an ample supply of sanitizer for the machines.
The E Gym is Great!
My wife and I enjoy coming to the Y and participating in the classes that are offered. I also enjoy playing pickleball in the gym. We really need more courts if the building of the new Y is being planned.
Staff, avalibility, cleanliness
Friendly welcoming staff and patrons, love the community vibe! Has everything: classes, gym, pool, group sports, family/children activities. Very happy with my membership!!
Very great customer service. The building is a little older but the amenities are good. Has a nice pool and gym/track. The wellness center has all that you need!
Parking lot is safer than some other health clubs.
So far this YMCA branch is clean on the inside and during warmer weather it appears clean on the outside grounds. The class offerings are good, though I may not be able to take advantage of classes due to my work schedule. The staff who work the front desk are pleasant and helpful.
Things that bother me at another fitness entity that I hope do not ever become issues at this or any YMCA location are extremely loud talking (not necessary), profane language (a violation of other people’s right not to hear it), nastily kept locker and pool areas, grounds littered with trash while the workers sit around instead exhibiting care for the business grounds/facility by picking up trash to maintain a clean appearance.
So, so far and I hope never, the Royal Oak Y is good.
The Y on 11 Mile Road in Royal Oak is very clean and everything is well maintained. Along with a variety of classes offered, the convenient hours and plentiful exercise equipment ensure that you can always get a good workout. Joining the Y is one of the best things we've done for our health.
It's clean, diverse crowd and I love the variety of exercises, especially the Egym machines.
