Member Testimonials
I love the front desk staff , they are all so nice , and funny . The Y hands down is the best gym in bay city . You cannot beat the quality of the equipment , or the customer service anywhere else in bay city. It’s safe and clean and perfect location
Great employees
Clean locker rooms
Always nice and clean.
I like the convenience and cleanliness of the Bay City Y. Your staff are always helpful and friendly and facility hours work well with my schedule.
I like the classes that are offered and the 24/7 room. I have made many friends at the Y over the years and look forward to going every day. The long-term staff and class instructors are awesome!
One request though- please review the weights that are available in the closet off the gym. Most people use 10# to 12# dumbbells but there is only 1-2 sets of the 10# weights in there lately. The am bootcamp has over 20 people and we are running around trying to find weights.
Also- we need more Bosu balls and bench steps. When I am in a class in the gym, they have to run down to the aerobic room to get equipment, and when I am in the aerobic room, they sometimes have to run upstairs to get equipment.
Thanks!
Clean and friendly and multiple options for all levels of fitness.
Unfortunately, my insurance is changing from Peerfit to Silver Sneakers and this Y does not accept this benefit. I will be sad to lose my membership.
Great group of staff, great group of members. A friendly place to exercise.
The staff is all great: the front desk, custodians and class instructors!! Great variety of classes and workout machines!!
Family oriented, friendly faces.
The Y is a great place to work out because of the friendly staff.
Everyone is friendly and helpful. No one is judging. There are many levels of fitness and know one cares, except the staff if asked.
I love the variety of experiences to participate in. Would love a mobile app that makes signing up easy. I would also love for there to be little signs on weight machines that tells you how to use it. And/or, when you first join, include a free mini tour of the weight section if desired. I'm too embarrassed to ask the desk person for help
The swim instructor Will--very organized and fun to work with.
Great place, Great people
Staff, environment, friends!
I like that the YMCA has fitness classes, a track upstairs and a pool. Also the staff at the YMCA is so welcoming once you are foot into the door of the facility.
Variety of workout/recreation options
Feels like a family and brings our community together.
Great Staff and great place to get a workout in. A Diamond right in the middle of Bay City
The YMCA is like family and I tell EVERYONE I know!
As an elderly person I am very thankful for the Y having flexible on hold fees for our retirement schedule. I really appreciate it and find it makes being a member more valuable and something I will continue to be a member.
Thank you
The Members that become Friends & My Friends that Become Members
Friendly environment. Mostly organized around events planned for gymnasium usage.
Great place to workout!
I love most things about the Y. The people who work there..the facilities. But here’s what annoys the heck out of me. Too many people - mostly younger - sit on machines/benches looking at their smartphones for long periods of time.In my opinion, this has gotten out of hand. Not sure what the solution would be but believe it needs to be addressed. Thanks for your time👍
It is very clean and has numerous activities to choose from. We love pickleball!
The Y is a place of positivity and good energy. From walking in the door in the morning, and feeling the warm inviting atmosphere, it always give me a good start to my day.
The facility is always clean and well maintained. The amount of activities and options for health and fitness that our members have is head and shoulders above any health/wellness facility in the GLBR. The Y provides a safe family oriented facility. The staff is always courteous and friendly. I love the Y.
I have noticed though that the management it seems lately is not as engaging as before. A lot of times they seem like they are in a rush. I'm sure they are very busy with the running of the facility.
After my experience in 20+ years of managing a multi-million dollar corporation and training managers I believe that management should always practice the 10:5 Rule, as an example setter and for Y culture.
Thank you- keep up the great job!
Good variety of quality classes, good instructors, and extremely clean facility.
Everything!
I really enjoy the sauna. I also enjoy the options for classes but have not been able to join any of them. Maybe when I retire :)
