★★★★★Shira RussellI am very pleased with my experience. I regret not joining sooner, but after debating for 4 years we finally signed up and it’s been such a great decision for our family. I love it for my kids as well because of the programs that are available.
★★★★★Patrick KolpackeI’m real Big on Community, Positive Energy, The coolest staff ever, Choices of Things to Do to Get Better in a Clean Environment, AND being welcomed back after a sabbatical or two. Hands Down it’s The Right Place to Be!
★★★★★iRepairRoyalOak iPhone Screen RepairLove it here at the Y! Great facilities. Wonderful staff. The workout room upstairs is top-notch with Assault Fitness treadmills, rowing machines, and dozens of kettle bells. - Mike from iRepairRoyalOak
★★★★★Chris HowardThis YMCA is a fantastic community space. Clean facilities, a wide variety of equipment, and plenty of space to work out without feeling crowded. The staff is friendly and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and motivating.
★★★★Leiah ShirleyI joined South Oakland YMCA in October 2023 for swim classes. The adult instructor Rook has a great personality and is so patient. I had previous swim experience but fear had kept me from getting into most pools or bodies of water comfortably. We started with some basics but by week 3 our group was already in the deep end, treading water. There seems to be plenty of activity and classes available at this location. I haven’t used any other parts of the facility but I did walk around when I enrolled and the locker room/showers are always clean. The women's locker room is in the basement where there is a small sauna, lockers, dressing areas, bathrooms and several showers. The front desk staff has been friendly but not always knowledgeable (I called to ask about billing cycle/account set up information and was misinformed). In addition to the staff the atmosphere feels very welcoming with many people seeming to know each other through coming there often. Parking on the side of the building isn’t the greatest, but there is an overflow lot behind. Based on my experiences the last three months, I am hoping to sign up my family for summer programs, and to start attending regularly.
