Member Testimonials
Always clean, lots to do, our whole family enjoys working out and playing here.
Clean, not too crowded most of the time, friendly staff, modern equipment in good working order.
I love the Y. Best value workout place. It’ll get busy in January but so does every other gym.
One thing - the Mary free bed Sauna in the men’s rooms smells of BO more than the downtown Y. Maybe the faculties staff could wipe it down once a week?
You offer a wide variety of classes that we attend, plus the pool and weight machines are an added plus for my husband and I to use.
Variety
I enjoy the Saturday 8AM water aerobics. The overall facility is welcoming and has plenty of equipment to use for aerobic or weight training. Staff is friendly.
I like to swim as well but the lap pool water is too cold. I go to Wolverine YMCA more often to swim. And the lockers are very small. I also don't care for the motion sensor faucets. I understand the economy of them but it's hard to shave with those.
Great facility with options for whatever workout you want to do. The kids zone is also fantastic.
Staff isn't as friendly as the Wolverine location
Friendly receptionists, variety of facility offerings, excellent personal skills & knowledge in my personal trainer, Bethany DeWit; guests of varied abilities, programs for all ages, skills, abilities & interests.
Very friendly , convenient , helpful ,take care our health successful
I love the classes!
Very good facility and classes for the price.
There is such a variety not only in equipment but also staffing and trainers.
The cleaning staff does an amazing job and is always respectful and kind.
I would highly suggest that this YMCA being a central hub near many 3rd and 1st workers consider opening at 4am.

My trainer, Sarah Ensenat, is amazing! This is the longest I have stayed with a trainer, and it is because of Sarah.
Affordable, convenient location, dates/times, and coach First name removed was fantastic with the kids! She was patient, and easy going with the age group. She’s great!
