Member Testimonials
I split my time between the Y and Planet Fitness. The Y definitely feels more like a family. It has all the amenities from the pool, sauna, steam room, basketball, pickleball, and so many more. Janet at the front desk always offers a warm welcome. They have top notch physical therapy led by Kristen. The CEO Steve is always there involved helping out where ever he can. I coached my son there for basketball leagues for the last couple years and they run a great league.
Keep up the great work and vibe.

The facility and staff are amazing, very professional. They are top notch in my book.
The facility is always clean and in working order.
Staff is always available to answer questions at a moment’s time. Also, it’s great that you can get a workout in at 24/7 anytime you want to. You won’t see that at other facilities.
Great place with wonderful experiences with members and staff ! Top flight staff !
People are friendly
A great place to unwind. Exercise with chuck makes my day. Employees are super friendly.
I like everything about this place. It’s a great place to get a good workout with an enjoyable environment. They have great equipment and a great pool to use as well. They offer classes, etc., I feel blessed that I have a membership here and I am happy to give this a 10 star rating.
There is only one thing to watch for, and that is if you are walking, you have to watch for the balls that could hit you. I was hit in the head, pretty bad one time by one of the balls. It would be nice if they could install some type of net to protect the walkers.
I love working out at the Y.
People make me smile.
My workouts are great thanks to Justin (Trainer) in helping me target areas that need it most. Advising me and making sure I am doing exercises correctly.
Everything. It is a tremendous facility that is welcoming and enjoyable. It is a wonderful part of our community.
The group fitness classes and the clean facility. However I often smell weed and it kind of makes me feel nauseated before working out. Many members have said the same thing about the hallway and locker rooms. I realize you cannot control that but maybe some type of air freshener down rhat hallway and in the locker rooms would help.
The staff are always friendly and encouraging and this makes you want to go back for more! There is not one day that I don’t see a staff person cleaning or helping a member. The equipment is in good shape and I like the new setup upstairs! The indoor track is awesome, you can make new friends while working on your walk! I love the idea of being able to invite someone to go with you on “bring a friend Friday” twice a month, what a great idea. Thank you to all the wonderful staff who work hard everyday, you are awesome❤️

Everything
The employees and classes are great. We enjoy coming to work out.
The Y is well run with giving younger individuals a chance to learn at various job. It is kept very clean both inside and outside with maintenance needs taken care of. I like all the programs for youngsters and they get a balanced meal while at the Y. It also seems to be a great place for older individuals to meet as they help keep their muscles toned.

I like the staff, they are all kind and friendly. I would like to give a shot out to Karen my water aerobics teacher. She keeps the class fun and entertaining while exercising and time flies by fast.
The staff are all friendly and helpful. The trainers are very knowledgeable about the exercise equipment and great at showing people how to use the different pieces.
Good environment
It is always clean and well maintained. The staff is always friendly and pleasant. You feel welcomed!
The Y is such a great resource for our community for the promotion of health and wellness!
What I like most about my experience at the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA is the welcoming and community-focused environment. It feels like a place where people of all ages and fitness levels are supported and encouraged, which makes it easy to stay motivated and consistent.
I also appreciate the variety of programs and equipment available. Whether it’s group fitness classes, wellness programs, or just access to a clean and well-maintained facility, there’s always something that fits my needs and keeps things interesting.
Another highlight is the friendly and helpful staff. They make a big difference by creating a positive atmosphere and being available whenever I need guidance or assistance.
Overall, the YMCA stands out not just as a gym, but as a community space that promotes health, connection, and personal growth.
I like everything. It's a great place!
