Friendly people. Appreciate the diversity of the membership. Love that babysitting is available. Appreciate that our Medicare supplement gives us free membership. Appreciate the down to earth nature of the place and people. It’s not all lululemon and lattes.

Most of the time I’m 65 years old and I can’t get in the swimming pool sometime, but I hope that changes soon

nice complex, very convenient to visit with family. friendly staff. very nice new exercise machines in the gym. the only thing I don't like is that there is a changing room for the family, but everyone who wants to change in it, that is, men and women who came without children and for some reason do not go to their separate changing rooms

The fact that there is a pool makes it great. The EGYM equipment takes it a notch above.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Royal Oak YMCA. Everyone is kind, informative, and respectful. They are all willing to help with any questions or demonstrations. I have mentioned this to everyone I know.

I have been a member since January 2001.
Just that alone proves to you I appreciate all things YMCA.
The facility is large, accommodating and user-friendly.
I really like the new E-GYM.
The ladies at the front desk were very helpful when my Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage of my membership expired. They smoothly signed me up for monthly direct debit payments at the legacy rate.
Always look forward to my work outs and the friendly camaraderie with the staff.
Thank You!
