Member Testimonials
I am a new member of the Y this year. While I was interested in getting into better shape I wasn’t sure how to go about it. Being an overweight man in my late 60s I was concerned about what would be the best way to ease into a program. I wanted to get into better shape but wanted to make sure I did it in a gradual healthy way without putting too much stress on my body. I found, in my opinion, the perfect trainer in Jordan Fox. After our first meeting Jordan put together a program geared for my current condition and the results I wanted to achieve. It wasn’t easy in the beginning. There were some things I just couldn’t do and it bothered me. I let jordan know how defeated I felt and he was quick to step in and explain this was a normal step in the process of getting healthier and nothing to be ashamed of. He helped me to feel better about myself and I appreciated that so much. What really impressed me in the early stages was how Jordan would watch me and make adjustments in my routine by seeing how I handled a weight or how I was breathing. I didn’t have to say anything. We have been working out together now for three months. I have lost some weight and can see changes in my body where it is filling out. Jordan is always there to offer encouragement and praise. I still have a ways to go to reach my goals but realize this is not a quick fix and that it will take time. He is always patient and willing to explain things when I question about what I am doing or what I should be doing in certain situations. Believe me, being new to fitness I have lots of questions. The best part is that I have fun working out with Jordan. I always look forward to our training each week and leave the Y feeling good. I know I am biased because I have not had any other trainers at the Y but I think Jordan is the best.
Friendliness of everyone

Caring, friendly staff, great facilities, well maintained, very supportive of all ages, physical abilities.
easy access
The Mary Free Bed Y is modern, clean, and less cluttered than other gyms. An overall positive experience. My primary complaint is the operating hours, specifically on the weekends. Closing at 5pm and 6pm is ridiculously early and results in very crowded weekends, which is why I avoid the Y on the weekends.
Great facilities and equipment, lots of parking, clean, good atmosphere, and excellent trainers.
Great facilities and great staff!!
How friendly the workers are and how clean the locker rooms are
Variety of options and flexibility.
The shower curtains need to be wider in order to provide full privacy. The curtain rod makes them too narrow even though they measure the same width as the shower opening.
Water aerobics in the family pool, except the water is too cole.
The variety of classes along with the caring and expertise of the instructors.
You can come anytime, join the class you want, facility is clean and people are friendly .
Great dance instructor, supportive dance class that is focused in ballet fundamentals in a healthy way. I feel good about my daughter participating in these classes knowing the focus is on moving your body in a way that feels good. We choose YMCA over a private dance studio because we know the risk of eating disorders in dancers and we want to encourage her love of dance in a healthy way.
