Member Testimonials
Open areas. Much equipment. Helpful staff.
Great facility and people!
family showers
The MFB Y offers a variety of exercise classes at a variety of times. I often find times at MFB that fit my schedule. I also enjoy pickleball. MFB offers more court time than my “home” YMCA.
The facility is clean and modern with a nice design. Large well laid out weightroom, stretching area, cardio areas and TREKS type area. The track is nice for indoor running. Everyone who works there is very friendly and helpful. Convenient parking. 5 STAR facility.
I have made some life long friends, that push me to be me. I don’t feel judged and everyone seems helpful.
We have found the MFB YMCA to be a bright, light-filled welcoming space. Friendly professional staff and trainers make sure we have an exceptional experience every day. Beautful pools, immaculate locker rooms, a running track, state of the art, well-maintained weight equipment, a variety of classes running all day long-- it doesn't get better than this! We appreciate the intentionally inclusive outreach to families and the community. Truly, a beacon of hope.
Facilities
Amazing people working there. I recently lost my phone at Mary Free Bed YMCA, and the staff not only found it, they charged it overnight. I was beyond grateful.
Easy to access. Facility is clean. Lots of workout equipment
It’s been one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a very long time!!!
I’m loving it ☺️
Friendly and many different exercise opportunities. I love the water aerobics. I have made many new friends.
Has all the fitness equipment I was looking for.
I loved the facility and would absolutely go there again!
It is a great place to work out. Nice facility!!
I use the track and the family pool. The track is wide enough for slower walkers like me so I don’t feel like I’m slowing anyone down. The pool is well maintained and you have a great team of lifeguards who are always working. I never see them goofing off or just standing around or looking bored even when the pool isn’t as busy.
Super helpful personnel, when I ask.
The track, staff, clean facility.
Swimming pool
My only complaint is that folks using the track do not obey the policies and there's no real enforcement. Is there a way to get people to walk in the inner lanes so runners can run? I often begin on the track but leave after a mile out of frustration to find a treadmill. I know it's not a big deal but more signage? Monitoring? What is it people don't "get" here - haha.
Equipment is great, and spaced out very well. The whole space is very clean and staff is very attentive, much more so than the downtown YMCA. Also is never overcrowded like the downtown one.
The classes… Lisa’s aqua fit best!
Clean facility, welcoming staff, and knowledgeable Trainers.
Weight room floor and classes
Cleanliness, friendly employees, quality machinery and weights.
I have had a great experience working with Dave Ball as a personal trainer. He took the time to look into the specific issues I was experiencing and is able to adjust my program to meet those needs. He is able to show me many different options to work on if and when a machine is being used. Dave has a good work ethic and pushes me to do my best and sometimes push beyond what I think I can do. I have seen improvement and feel like I get his full attention during our sessions. I would recommend him to anyone, as a matter of fact I have.
Dave has a good sense of humor and is very personable.
I enjoy bringing my grandson to toddler time on Wednesday's, using the pool with him as well, and playing pickleball during the week in the fall and winter months.
Vibrant feeling. Lots of class offerings. Great instructors.
I will certainly be back! Body Pump and Zumba were both amazing classes and the front desk staff was very helpful. I was, however, new to body pump and a little disappointed that the instructor wasn't more welcoming or encouraging. She indicated that there were a lot of reps and that if I needed to leave early I could. As someone who does regular strength training outside of body pump, I would have rather heard that I can use lower weights to start and take breaks as needed which would have felt much more encouraging than being given the option to leave because it was a challenging class. I made it through just fine. The Zumba class with Tara was incredible! Likely the best Zumba class I've ever taken. Loved her energy, spirit and encouragement through class!
It has so many different activities for any condition that you may have. Personally, I enjoyed the variety of equipment activities that you can participate in. Whatever works for you.
