The people! Both the members and the staff. Almost like having another family
The facility!
Its a great space for family
Very clean and people are nice. P.S the Equipment is 100%
The warm friendly atmosphere is one reason I attend the Y.Also, the new exercise machines are great…and all the classes designed for seniors are another reason I like the Y,
The staff is great and, thanks to Patty, the facility stays sparkling clean.
The staff is always willing to help without having an attitude
The employees so friendly and helpful
I particularly like the helpful and friendly staff, the new exercise cycles and e-machines strength training equipment. The fellow clientele are great, too!
This Royal Oak Y is well managed by a kind hardworking group.
Good staff, hours, location.
The locker rooms are not as consistently clean as other Y locker rooms I have been to ( Boll Family Y, Farmington, Birmingham, Traverse City, other cities - NYC Upper Westside Y, San Francisco Chinatown Y, Silver Spring MD Y).
It's a real turnoff to visitors from other Ys that our locker rooms do not appear to get a nightly mopping.
Cleanliness of the building and friendliness of the staff.
I enjoy exercising at the Oakland YMCA. It has all the equipments and also has a nice swimming pool. The staff is friendly and helpful.
I want to highlight your employee Joe as a key resource on your team. Joe has always been available for questions and has provided very good responses to my concerns.
Please recognize Joe at the South Oakland YMCA as a great YMCA employee!
Nice and clean people here treat you like family. Hope they will close late 9pm is to early
Love all the new equipment. People need to xheck it out.
This Y location is clean, the people are friendly and the wellness center equipment (and other equipment upstairs) is not only NEW, but it’s fantastic! I love the variety of classes and the fact that a member can work out in a variety of spaces. Sometimes working in a smaller space vs. a larger makes a workout uniquely enjoyable. At South Oakland YMCA a member can make the most out of their fitness efforts and feel like they are part of a special community.
I love the group classes for Seniors. I frequently attend Chair Yoga and AOA classes. Also, I'm able to walk on the track whenever my schedule permits.
Previously I used my BCBS benefits to attend but, BCBS is no longer covering my classes beginning 2025. Then, I will enroll in the BCBS Legacy Membership Plan. Thank you Southeast YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit for offering great classes to Seniors at affordable rates.
The staff and E-Gym are the highlights for me. The staff is warm and friendly. The E-Gym component is the greatest. I am currently in the Livestrong Class and JP and Vickie are the greatest!
Variety of classes for everyone.
I like the family created by the group execise instructors and participants
I appreciate the updates that have been added. The new equipment upstairs is wonderful
I like the staff and the people at the gym. Lots of older people who make it feel like a more comfortable community place.
