Very clean with Covid protocols in effect. It is great to workout again and I felt safe with social distancing equipment, everyone wearing a mask and plenty of sanitize spray bottles around. The Birmingham Family Y always was and will be my first choice to stay fit and healthy. Come see for yourself.

The Birmingham Family YMCA is truly one of the most welcoming, positive, inclusive and encouraging gyms I have ever set foot in. My children and I are always greeted by smiling faces, and the facilities are always kept tidy and well-maintained. When we have questions, they are answered thoroughly, and we are always encouraged to try out new classes and programs. We love our time here and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a stress-free place to move your body and be part of a great community!

Love the Birmingham YMCA. The building is older - but the staff, fellow members and activities are great. Plus, the Y is a great cause and it feels good to support the community. Highly recommend checking it out!

I joined over a year ago. The locker rooms were outdated at the time and overall the place seemed a bit gloomy. I did receive a message they were updating the locker rooms. The open swim hours were not work or family friendly. I attempted to cancel my membership but they did not allow cancellations over the phone. There is not a way to cancel electronically either, terrible! Parking is HORRIBLE which is the main reason I have not been able to cancel since I am often traveling with an infant.

I am currently a stay at home mom and love this place. All the staff members are super friendly especially those in the child care center. I have a association membership and can go to a few different locations but choose to go to Birmingham (even though Farmington is closer to me.) I highly recommend this place. I am able to workout while my son gets to socialize with others his age. Cant stress enough how great the staff is!

Not too bad, except for the pool. Consider there is no pool as you never know when you can swim. They only have a few hours in the week when it is really opened and it is in the middle of the morning on weekdays, how convenient!! Plus they sometimes change the schedule without notice. Very very badEdit: pool schedule is still only for children or retired people, not people working during the day. All in all the $110 family membership is way overpriced for the service. Them being the only ones to have regular power shutdowns in the area regularly is also questionable. Will cancel membership.

Facility is older and needs updating and the layout is very strange. That being said, it has everything you need (treadmills, free weights, open gym time, lots of classes, pool, locker room). The staff is fantastic- very little turn over and I feel like we know most of them on a first name basis and vice versa. We love the child watch staff. As a women, I do not feel intimidated using the free weights. Judo instructors are world class (there are people that dive from Canada to train here). Yes, it is older but that probably keeps it less busy too.

I’ve been to this gym since I was a little kid. The staff are nice some of the employees and members basically know us, but there are improvements need to be made. For instance the adult locker room which you have to be 18 and up the same with the work out room (the lockers not all of them are rusted on the bottom, the carpet has a smell when it’s wet, when they put in the new carpet it did not last that long. The sauna needs an update for instance “completely fix the door so you don’t have to slam the door to close it”, the floor of the sauna is dirty pieces are missing. Most of the shower heads don’t work properly and some of the hooks are rusty. They do need to change the furniture in the woman’s locker room they are dirty and the TV is useless the picture is bad and there are no decent channels to watch when working out. A long time ago there were more choices of channels to watch. Now for the unnecessary changes to the work out room, like changing the weights and machines that were perfectly fine, for instance they got rid of 4 weights that I always used every time I came to the Y that was oftenly used. It’s also uncomfortable to change in the ladies locker room when there are underage kids that are supposed to use the kids locker room (excluding kids that can’t be left alone).

Kind of old and in need of an update. Staff seems helpful most of the time, but but they are contending with an out of date computer system and business model. Pool area is ok and kept clean as are the lockers/locker room, but everything shows wear and tear.

This YMCA has a friendly staff and a fair number of machines in the Wellness Center. The locker room is dated and the lockers are rusty. There is plenty of room to renovate as there is an unused space with a sofa and tv where no one ever sits. Locker rooms are downstairs and workout rooms are upstairs which is a little inconvenient.

I had a very poor experience with them. Even we paid the fee for my daughter, who was on their Girls On the Run program. They kept calling us that we havent paid the fee. We had to send them the copy of the paid check image twice. I wonder why they dont check with their own bank to verify who paid or not. It seems to me, their billing system is a mess, and very unprofessional. We dont want to deal with them again.
