Member Testimonials
I love the 5am classes since I need them before work. I would love to have Body Balance at 5:10am on Fridays. I love the people that I interact with and how many friendships have been made.
the variety of classes that are offered are nice.
the Yoga teacher (Laura) does an outstanding job! She should be highly compensated
Clean facility, great staff, so many classes to choose from.
Welcoming, clean and well supplied to meet my needs!
Welcoming hosts, clean facility, many / varied program offerings, appropriate hours.

Great experience!
Clean atmosphere, good family activities, we feel our kids are always safe no matter where or what they are doing.
I could do my workout in a clean, quiet space. I used a stationary bike and liked the feature to choose a workout that mimicked a real bike ride and showed scenes from that path.
Great facility. Great selection of equipment. Indoor track. Nice staff. Lockers.
Facility has much to offer...classes, etc. Always clean and wonderful instructors
Love all the adaptive equipment! It’s a beautiful gym that’s really inspiring!
Extremely well equipped facilities from facilities and equipment to staff. Great place to work out regardless your area of focus
Shout out to the lifeguards at the downtown Grand Rapids YMCA that show up for work at 5AM so guests can use the pool. Hopefully Mary Free Bed can find some quality lifeguards one day so their pool can consistently and dependably be available.
Everyone is very helpful and it’s a fun place to workout.
Group fitness (core, body pump, and bootcamp)

Facility is clean; people are friendly.
Love the classes and instructors…and the genial friendly staff and atmosphere!
Clean, everything works, great personnel, everyone's sociable...
I like the friendliness of the staff. The joke of the day. Being able to access the particular equipment I had planned to use that visit with no waiting. Easy parking. End of workout coffee.
I will not go into enclosed rooms (Covid is still a thing), so regretfully cannot access the group workouts/yoga, as I do not know what the air circulation process is (HEPA FILTERS?). If pool water testing results were posted I might consider swimming, but not until then. Obviously, these are comments for all gyms!
I would like a heads up when the screaming kids are going to be there; sound control is really lacking. Ex: during the school year, I had to be out by 8 AM Saturday mornings before the kiddo sports started. TOOOOO LOUD!
I have reported equipment malfunction and weeks later find they are not addressed.
Instructors are caring ,friendly and knowledgeable.
Locker room is very neat and clean when Lisa is working...otherwise...🤔

Friendly, helpful, staff!
Safety, cleanliness!
