Member Testimonials
The Mary Free Bed YMCA does a great job with keeping the facility clean and welcoming people. I enjoy the programming. On a typical day, I mostly use the pool, but also the indoor tracks and weights. I also go to the body balance classes from time to time. I plan to keep using the gym this year. Keep up the good work.

Very personable staff.
Walking Track.
Great weight equipment
Like yoga
3/4 boys basketball refs at Northern Trails were great!
Great walking track, and easy parking, facilitate easier access for this 77 year old
Great place to workout! It's friendly, welcoming, and always clean. I wish the trainers were more like real personal trainers that could really whip you into shape. It seems like they just give orientations to the weight machines. There's not alot of weight lifting with the trainers. I wish there was more personal weight lifting and honing of skills with the trainers.
Our first time there! It was amazing. We loved toddler open gym
Bright and modern; good energy vibe; easy parking
I love the aqua cardio classes! The App is fantastic for seeing what’s happening!
There is so much to get involved in.
I love the Y.
Clean, lots of weight and exercise machines. Love the indoor track

the space, people
I do want to tell you that the Parkinson's class is fantastic. Atilla is very caring and the class is great!
Love to play pickleball there!
adult sport classes like pickleball
I enjoy the dedicated deadlift and squat rack areas as well as the amount of dumbbell benching areas available. I wish attendants were more willing to spot members when bench pressing and were trained on how to spot. The attendants don't seem willing to spot and it is dangerous.
Nice staff. Clean. A lot of groups classes to choose
Everything, friendly staff and the inclusion of special needs individuals is so very important to me.
Love the MFB YMCA. Is probably the nicest gym I’ve ever visited. Do wish they would restart the towel service (stopped in early COVID)
I love how large and open the facility is. I usually go to smaller Ys, so this is a nice change.
Even though the parking lot may be full there seems to be plenty of rim to still workout. I have a trainer that's working well with me.
A very clean, and well kept facility. Staff is friendly, and helpful when I need them. The equipment seems to be well maintained, and sanitary. A joy to work out at this location.
Variety of classes, great instructors, clean and friendly environment!
Very affordable for the benefits, excellent well maintained equipment
My go-to location for group classes.
I like the swimming pool, which is really nice in the winter.
Lots of equipment, several basketball courts, multiple pools, everything is up to date, plenty of easy to access parking. We love it.
The Pedaling for Parkinson’s sessions are what is keeping me on track. I hope it continues. I prefer the midday sessions as I am retired. Jenny and the other coaches are so attentive and supportive!!!
very nice facility
