Member Testimonials
I enjoy coming to the y, I enjoy your splash, walking around the track, riding the bike and working out on some of the machines. So why staff is very helpful if you need something. Also other patrons are usually very friendly thank you have a great day
Making friends
Clean facility with lots of great equipment.
Every staff member I have encountered has been exceptional. I take personal training classes in the pool and the instructor, Rob, is absolutely fantastic. He does not push me beyond my capability, but he does challenge me to push just a little further.
Landon is kind, respectful, hard-working and gives excellent service to every individual that enters the YMCA facility. I appreciate his training advice and hope that he is recognized by DOW for his contributions.

Pool and yoga classes
The Dow Bay Area YMCA is a great place to workout for you and your family! The facility is extremely clean and all equipment is modern and well maintained. From the time you walk in the door until you leave the staff is very friendly and helpful. I also enjoy the camaraderie of all the other members and friends I interact with every time I workout.
Pool is great ! I would like it bigger with more lanes especially since that was promised when it was originally built. Also I wouldn't mind addressing the fact that our rates were increased for towels and for the fact they kept getting stolen. Towels are not even a thing now and yet the rate hike remains. Overall your facilities are pretty good 24/7 is greatly appreciated. Some of your front staff when walking and getting checked in is very unattentive in general the younger ones.
Very friendly staff and the life guards are very alert. And the place is nice n clean. I come to work out in the gym are on cycling.
Ability to play Pickleball and work out at reasonable times.
They have a Really great Hot Tub that's really nice to enjoy going in

I go to the YMCA almost every single day.I don't know what I would do if I didn't have it as part of my daily routine.
Clean, friendly, awesome variety of strength training tools and I love the group classes.
As a part-time employee, member and volunteer…everything and everyone!
The workers are all nice. I like the joke of the day on my way out. I love that they are expanding and improving all the time.
It is always a pleasure to go to the Y. We are greeted by friendly staff and have come to know many of those whom we pass as we work out. The facilities are beautiful, the trainers are helpful, and the equipment is varied and well maintained
I like everything. The front desk staff are so nice. I daily joke is so fun. I do the pool class at 9:30 usually. All the instructors are so good, they are all different but the work-outs are wonderful. They all focus on balance, and range of motion, and keeping all your muscles working well. Sometimes I use the equipment on the 2nd floor. There is a nice variety of machines to use. And the walking track is a nice thing also. The locker room, rest room and showers are always nice and clean. A great place to keep yourself healthy. I have not gone to any of the exercise/gym classes, but I do watch some of them and they look good.
