Member Testimonials
Andrea is the best most supportive coach you could have.
The instructors are all wonderful and help my kids learn confidence in the water while having fun. We love the Y!
The Y including the pool area is clean. I appreciate the cleanliness both inside and out. I have recommended your Y to family because they too appreciate fitness centers that maintain cleanliness.
The Royal Oak Y has changed my life for the better! This is not an exaggeration, but simply a fact. The classes are outstanding and the teachers are excellent!!
The class was fun and very helpful. I really enjoyed the instructor.
Instructor was patient and willing to meet each student where they were as far as skill level
The new aquatic director is friendly & organized. All the instructors are skillful and work well with the children.
The program was great!
the group exercise programming
Everyone is very welcoming
Friendly
Everyone is very friendly and you get a good workout. The class is sometimes a little crowded and short on equipment butit's worth the effort.
Very friendly staff
Miss Erica was the absolute best. She made it fun for both babies and toddlers. The singing along with showing us how to teach our young ones made it fun for my daughter. I wish the pool was warmer or at least the area around the pool. My daughter was shivering halfway through the class. I think investing in a pool heater would be great. There was one day where class was started 5 min late. Though these were minuscule to me as overall this class was well worth it, and way more affordable than comparable places.
I love the times for the swim lessons as it works with our family schedule. The coach helped my son get more comfortable with the water and I saw a lot of growth and will sign my son up again for swim lessons at the Y.
We have always liked and appreciated swim classes at the YMCA but Ty was the best instructor we have ever had. Seriously the best.
Ty was an awesome teacher.
Instructor
The class was lead by a great and very engaged teacher. My kid had fun and felt significantly more confident in water after taking the class.
Clean and friendly
The instructor, Andrea, was amazing with our preschooler! She kept it fun and low pressure, while encouraging them to push themselves and gain confidence at their own pace.
My four year old loves swim class. I like that they are small class sizes. She is getting much more comfortable in the water. I look forward to signing her up for stage 2.
Great teachers and atmosphere.
