Member Testimonials
The staff are really nice (Tom/Val). I love the workout machines. The facility is always clean and welcoming. I do miss the twisting abs machine.
love the class instructors, how they guide you step by step through out the class, it is very helpful specially for the new, to avoid injury, but we all need to be reminded on correct posture throughout the class. I've been a member since 2005, I only do classes step and body pump.are my favorites. The Y is the only place i get real motivation . 😊

Great aquatics staff!
The staff is now very friendly. There was a time when the front desk wouldn't even acknowledge you when you came in. But now, even when they're busy, the make sure to greet you. The class instructors are always great!
Welcoming professional staff.
I'm not into "gym culture" and find it refreshing to see people with different abilities working out shoulder to shoulder.
We love going to the Mary Free Bed YMCA. The weight machines and the free weights are great. The staff are so helpful and friendly. We love seeing all age groups from the infants to the seniors. It’s really quite enjoyable going there. We are a retired couple who want to stay healthy and this is a great place to work on ourselves.
I love the community experience! People from all walks of life coming together.

I love everything about the Mary Free Bed YMCA. It is the most welcoming space, and I always feel right a home. It is incredibly diverse and inclusive; I love seeing the entire Grand Rapids community represented. The instructors are fantastic, always encouraging and friendly. The YMCA is truly my happy place.
The group exercise classes are wonderful. My absolute favorite instructors are Katy B and Holly B. A substitute instructor named Lindy was in on Monday for body pump and she was great. I also think the facility is clean, with the exception of the interior of the lockers in the men's locker rooms.
Partnership with Priority Health is a game changer both healthwise and financially. I can now afford personal training and have an indoor track when necessary. Kristi is amazing. Great all over experience.
