The Boll Family Y is right in the center of it all and it gives kids the ability to enjoy physical activity right downtown. I Love all the programs they have to offer and the amenities.

I go to the Boll Family Y mainly to swim. I have tried other classes; Yoga, water aerobics, pilates, cycling and all have been fun. Occasionally, I play basketball. It is great to have so many options and an opportunity to try new things, (Tai-Chi is on my list)..
I love seeing families there-having fun and staying healthy. I especially enjoy seeing the little ones learning to swim (tears, hesitation and all) and at the summer camps. My sons learned to swim at the Y. I tell people who express a desire to learn to swim, "Go to the Y; they are experts!" My grandson attended Y summer camps from the age of 4 into his teens. He loved it and I loved it. The Y has been a part of my family's life for decades. Now, my granddaughters swim there and attend summer camp.
The child care offering is a great amenity. And, offering financial assistance to families is a real community service. I try to support the Y financially, because it is an invaluable resource for me and my community
The Y is well maintained; always clean. Staff and patrons are warm, friendly and welcoming.
The theater offers so many interesting events, plays and movies. One of the most memorable was the Y anniversary celebration which featured a tribute to the Queen of Soul.
I always feel better after spending time at the Y.

I love that the teachers for preschool are POC, the location with the proximity to my home and the facility itself. Downside is that they have no parking lot and do not allow make up lessons for missed swim classes.

Perfect gym but the PARKING???? jesus christ. definitely need to set something up with the lots where members are validated or atleast have something where members can pay for parking along with membership fees. trying to find parking down here will legitimately make you want to turn around and go home.

Very cool Ymca! I love the design of the inside. I especially liked "The pointe" little workout room with weights, large windows, mirrors etc. That was perfect for me!
Biggest drawback is the lack of parking/no parking. It is on your own street parking and you have to pay for it. I also was not the biggest fan of the limited child watch time-frames.
I'm from out of town, so therefore I won't frequent here often, however it was just enough to get the job done. But I will say...... I'm SUPER thankful for the universal membership. ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½

Limited street parking. Depending on how much you pay for monthly Y membership, be prepared to spend 15-30 minutes looking for parking and walking from where you parked. Or be prepared to pay the skyrocketing downtown garage fees.
The pool hours are limited. 1-2 hours in the morning, and then from 4-8pm during the week.
+- four hours in the late morning on weekends.
The pool schedule does not reflect the increase of private lessons, which gives the instructors permission to cordon off the family pool area.
The Y also seeks to encourage youth swim lessons and programs to very young swimmers.
The lifeguards have removed all members from the family pool for an hour, twice, in my experience; due to young swimmers soiling the pool "accidentally ". All kids should know how to swim. But all kids should be potty trained before they're in this pool.
Lap pool lanes are seldom empty.
The dry facility has plenty to do. If the parking weren't an issue I'd have probably given the Boll Y more patronage. But as of reading that more and more of the pool hours are going to be occupied by lessons this week, I'm inclined to take my need for a pool to conduct PT and laps elsewhere, regardless of the limited options in Detroit.
I'd suggest hiring more lifeguards, expanding the pool hours, and incentives for Y Members to park in the 3rd party garages that surround the facility.
Otherwise this has become another $50 membership fee for something I rarely use.
If you are within walking distance and have non-swimming interests, I would still recommend this.

Everything is beautiful there. Good customer service. Workers very friendly.
However I have two complaints:
Parking/game days can get costly.
The pool hours for summer are not convenient for families with MEMBERSHIPS:
they have classes and events all summer which causes a strict time slot allowed for members to utilize open pool.. also, crazy timing for school breaks.. kids are on mid winter break until Feb 26th they have a week offβ¦ I called today on Monday Feb 19th to see if the pool was open and they said it would be closed until the 26th for βcleaningβ. Itβs always a hit or miss with me even going down there.. reason I called before I went today, glad I did.. again

The Y feels like a second family! When I first moved to Detroit I didn't really know anyone. Because of this the Boll Family YMCA became my happy place. A place where I could feel accepted and where I could feel a place of community. The Y has also helped be consistent in my weight loss and fitness journey. Since being at the Y I have lost 35 pounds and it is the culture of health and fitness that has helped me keep it off. Over the course of the two years that I have been at the Y, I have seen the fitness class options go from pretty good to amazing and I'm pretty excited that these class additions will help me to accomplish my long standing fitness goals. Not only would l suggest that someone join the Boll family YMCA but I have suggested this to people that I know and at least one person has.

I will say that this facility is a very nice and clean facility and have everything you want and need for working out and building a better and healthier body. If you're looking for somewhere to go to and concentrate on you and maybe even socialize if you choose then I recommend that you give the YMCA of DETROIT a visit. Do it for YOU!!

I can only speak to the preschool swim class, but Iβm so happy that I enrolled my daughter (3.5 years old) in swim class here! She started with basically no water skills, and five lessons later can jump into the pool, put her face in the water, and swim a bit with a kick board. Sheβs much more confident getting in and out of the water and is always eager to get out of the house on swim class mornings. Her teacher, Malachi, was excellent with the kids: super patient and kind, gave clear instructions, and kept the class moving while also giving individual attention to each kid. Also, the family changing room is nice, and the pool is well-laid-out for lessons for little kids.
