Member Testimonials
The Y is fantastic resource for the greater good of our community, and as a resident of Bay City, I am thankful to have such a shining star in our backyard. It is a modern, safe, clean facility though and through, with friendly welcoming staff that enjoy their roles within the organization. It is a place for positivity, and it continues to expand with updates! Having young children in the Bay City Public School district allows for daycare programming both before and after school with transportation. That is a huge logistic win for working parents to have that feature available. Keep up the good work!
I like that the facility is always very clean and well managed. The classes I have attended have been challenging but not impossible. I especially like the walking track. Going round and round is not really my favorite thing, but it beats any other local options in the winter and keeps me going even in bad weather.

effort to improve the amenities.
I enjoy many aspects of what the Y has to offer. I play pickleball on a daily basis as well take classes that are offered at no extra charge. The staff are professional and friendly.
I enjoy the group exercise classes. The instructors are knowledgeable and show up for classes. So much better than any other fitness facility I have been a member of.
Great place to work out with my family
It’s a nice facility that is clean and full of everything you need. Great family atmosphere with friendly staff!
We love all the different kind of kids programs you offer, especially summer camp! Our kids always have a great time and look forward to coming back.
You also offer great workout classes . The facilities are always clean and the staff welcoming!
The Dow Y is clean which makes me feel good using the equipment. I like that they keep up the equipment so there are plenty of machines to use. I'm currently attending physical therapy at the Y which is convenient to come a little early or I can stay after to use the bike or arm machines. The staff is friendly and they keep us informed of what is being offered. I would say anyone looking for a fitness center they need to check out the Y.

The CEO is amazing and has brought strength and greatness to the YMCA. He has an open mind to try new and exciting classes. I would like to suggest some other classes. A one day pickleball class, learn how to braid, declutter and organize your life, cake decorating, special needs dance, special needs cooking classes, arts and crafts for adults, learn how to crochet. Some some ideas
Very friendly staff. Building is always very clean.

I appreciate that when life interferes with my better health plans and routines, the Y is always the same. Friendly staff, great variety of equipment and polite members make it easy to get back on track without giving me excuses not to!
I love being a Bay Area YMCA member! I joined for the close proximity to my home, but the modern facility, well maintained equipment, friendly staff (many of whom are now personal friends), cleanliness and afforability ensure I recommend memberships to all my friends!
I love buying day passes for out of town clients who are here to explore Bay City- after they settle in to their new homes, most have joined, also!

The Y is clean and bright! The Y does its best to offer a variety of sport and recreational opportunities to the Bay community. l have been a member for many years, starting at the old location on Columbus. My children loved the many sports and swimming classes at the Y.
