Member Testimonials
Good facility, Good People, friendly & helpful staff!!
Nice facility.
space, layout, variety of workout stations and machines
Instructors are great.
I personally love the variety of group classes, the friendly environment, and the lap pool. MFB had the best changing and shower room and sauna as well and I greatly appreciate all the hard work of everyone who makes the environment great! I am thankful to the YMCA for introducing me to cycling, aqua aerobics, ballet, badminton, dance, and being able to try new types of fitness with their variety of classes and at all accessibility levels. I love being able to squeeze in yoga later in the evening as well after lectures or working and be able to bring a friend with a GVSU or KDL pass. Everyone is very kind and helpful whenever I have any questions about how to use a weightlifting machine. Thank you for being an amazing community building space and welcoming people to stay happy, healthy and active! I love that I can volunteer here too to give back, and am very thankful to the financial aid programs as well. Another friend of mine recently joined the Y, and a second one plans to use their workplace’s new health benefit program to join the Y so we can swim and take classes together and I couldn’t recommend it more!! Compared to other gyms that mainly only offer machines, free weights and are a silent and independent environment, I love that the Y is community and program oriented. The more the merrier! I love seeing more kids and adult programs and summer camps receive funding, access, and volunteers and I love knowing that the Y cares to take all that is poured in and truly pour it into the people they serve, in creative, fun, novel ways that encourage genuine wholesome healthy movement and wellness. It really shows.
Great childcare! Clean facilities, and can find a time in the day to go when it's not overwhelmingly busy.

I only use the YMCA to swim laps. The Mary Free Bed pool is very nice, and I am usually able to get my own lane.

Great facility, good staff, good equipment, variety of programs, diverse membership. Need to paint pickleball lines on under- used tennis courts.
Low cost, low commitment way for my kids to try activities
The swimming classes and the instructors
However, since you opened up the membership for free admission to the Priority Health people, the swim classes are too large and crowded. I suggest you possible increase the number of adult swim classes- if that is possible.
Thank you very much.
The over all atmosphere is clean and upbeat. We mostly just use the track, but I look forward to it. Staff is welcoming, friendly.
The friendliness of staff. Easiness to get around of areas.
The best facilities, staff, and cleanliness. I will drive to this location specifically over others because I always have a great experience here. Group classes are fun and challenging and the staff is incredibly friendly.
