The people
Chair yoga instructor, Nathalie Wood, is very important to me. Yoga class is relaxing and I can feel the health benefits.
Years ago she had additional informal groups that focused on even better health . So now I am sugar free and am a vegan both for more than 2 years.
I am ever so grateful for her guidance and concern for our health,
The friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff!
Convenience as well as a supportive staff. Great classes too.
Friendly Staff and great facilities!!!
Great classes, helpful staff, trainers and life guards. Plenty of equipment available to use at all times. Always get a good workout!
Graeat experience all around. Recommendation: could you add 1 or 2 EV chargers for electric vehicles?
Like a family, members and the staff
The staff and members are friendly. The facility is clean. The available hours are very satisfactoryl
It's low key, no loud music. Good place if you actually want to exercise and not be assaulted with noise and advertising
comfortable & convenient, a family-oriented gym
The community of friends. And the pool!!!
The life guards
Your staff is always pleasant and helpful
The people that run it. Start with NAY's greeting and smile when you enter. Then off to the pool with Michelle, Jean and Colleen. So nice and helpful. You have some of the friendliest and most helpful people I have ever encountered at any Y. They go so far above and beyond what is expected of a team. I'm all in for Team Royal Oak Y!!!!
I also like the gym and pool too.
Michelle the (South Oakland Y) Lifeguard is amazing! Always good-humored and professional at the same time. Exchanging greetings with her is as therapeutic as the water itself. I notice she is great with the small kids, too. As a teacher myself, I appreciate her rare gifts and dedication. Greg Sumner
