Member Testimonials
I enjoy the YMCA. I participate in the Tuesday/Thursday morning bootcamp with Shannon. The class is growing by leaps and bounds and we often have to go to various spots around the YMCA to find supplies for class. It would be great if someone would contact Shannon about adding supplies to the "closet" near the gym for class members to use. It would also save time when we are getting ready for a 5 am class. Shannon is a great instructor and is always trying to new exercises to challenge the class. I am sure she would have a "wish" list of exercise materials!
It's easy-to-use and clean facility to use and exercise in
The DBAF YMCA is tremendous community asset for all ages.
As a forty-seven year member of the YMCA, I can attest to the importance of this organization to our community. The newest facility is phenomenal, with its magnitude of program offerings to all ages. I highly recommend a membership to anyone looking for physical, mental, social, and spiritual fitness.
Everything!
It’s a family! It’s also the cleanest and best equipped Y I’ve ever been to in all my travels! The staff is incredible!
Most everything - community engagement - children’s programs and events- the open air feel of the facility- the staff - cleanliness …. Honestly the only negative is a lack of space dedicated to floor and wall exercises (the little converted room isnt great)
The friendliness of the staff and of all the people you meet. It is always clean. There are many avenues to venture if you want to try something new.
Quality of facility. Really nice people work there. So many options to help keep me healthy and happy Personally, I so love to swim!
We love how many family-friendly activities, classes, and events are available throughout the year. The facility is always so clean, bright, and inviting. The staff members are so friendly and welcoming, willing to answer any questions I have. The gym is very nice, and the pool is beautiful. The childcare is top-notch, and my family just loves everything the YMCA has to offer.
Everything, paddleball, workout machines steam room sauna, hot tub and pool! It’s a great place to be!
I was nervous to join a big gym but am so happy that I did! I started my fitness journey about a year ago and actually look forward to working out now. I mostly use the 24/7 room because it’s less busy and not as overwhelming. Overall I feel quite comfortable and am eager to explore the other areas as time goes on.
I can be myself with no judgment. Someone's there always to help friendly atmosphere. My kids love to see there school mates at the kid zone.
It’s comfortable, clean and friendly. There is a variety of equipment and programs to enable a full and timely workout. I especially love the Steam room and Sauna.
I like the cardio machines and the weight machines and the free weights. That is all I use. The steam room is excellent as is the showers. Staffing is also very good. I wish that a Westside WMCA satellite location was available. It is getting more difficult to wade thru traffic getting across both the Vets and Lafyette bridges. I refuse to pay to travel across Liberty bridge and the Independant is out of the way.
Great facilities, friendly people and has many different things to offer.
Everyone is nice and friendly and helpful if i need help. I enjoy the workout equipment and the environment. It’s always clean
Something for everyone! Staff is friendly and helpful. A very clean facility with lots of machines to work out on. I love to play racquetball and walk on the track too. A nice pool area with hot tub. Many things to do there to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Always look forward to and enjoy my time spent at the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA.
Free friend Friday and swimming.
I love the Bay City Y! It's always clean and people are friendly. I like that there are many options for exercise classes. My favorite class is Brazillian Dance classes. I started as a complete beginner but now I've learned so much!
Our family loves the Bay Area YMCA. We love the clean facility and the staff are always nice.
It’s a clean and modern facility with great equipment and a nice pool and spin class room. Locker area and sauna/showers etc also are very nice.
I've been a member of the Y for almost 50 yrs. They have always cared for the community and supported BC for as long as I can remember. As a former paddleball player, I've met alot of people and made lots of friends. It's really like family here. There's no other place like it.
I enjoy the early morning crew at the Y. Everyone is supportive and celebrates in the success of all the members. its kinda like the “Cheers” of fitness where everyone knows your name.
