"I enjoy coming to the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA because of the friendly staff and members. I love the variety of things our YMCA offers: the weights, the basketball courts, the pool, and the track, which I use a lot during the cold days of winter and hot days of summer. Overall there is a very good atmosphere at the Dow Bay Area Family YMCA."

Working with leaders that practice Christian values, working with friendly co-workers, and our Health and Wellness programs with knowledgable instructors. My favorite reason of all is interacting with our wonderful members."
