Accessibility
Good parking
It has the most variety of group fitness classes and available times. The facility is great and the community is great!!
EVERYTHING. I had been going to the downtown Y for years. I will NOT go back- the MFB Y is clean, staff are available and talking to the patrons of the Y, equipment is working, the parents at the Y are controlling their children- it is a WONDERFUL place. I was going to cancel my membership, but my experiences at MFB have made me change my mind.
There is a nice variety of classes to choose from. Parking is easy.
The great classes. The friendly staff.
We love having the kidzone available so that we can enjoy a work out kid free! Toddler time is a wonderful time for my kids, ages 3 & 5. Appreciate that the bathrooms/showers are clean. So many different opportunities for getting exercise, whether it be the variety in equipment, or variety in classes, or swimming pool. The Y is our sanity!
The people who utilize the Y, and the variety of offerings related to holistic community wellbeing. The Y feels like the closest thing we have to a community center, especially for people who don’t feel welcome in churches (the next closest thing to a community center, in my opinion).
When I am here I am surrounded by people of so many different ages, ethnicities, body types, abilities, and beliefs. I feel like I can show up exactly as I am, with whatever I want to work on, wherever I am in that journey, and I can feel like a part of a community doing the same.
It was our first time here and we LOVED the family locker rooms. We have been to other locations for swim lessons and this was by far the best/easiest changing area for the kids.
The kids really enjoyed their first lesson and could not wait to come back!
Convenience, it’s close to my home. I also like the classes it offers.
Please open earlier on Sundays. :)
THE CLASSES ARE THE BEST! GRIT, RPM, BODYPUMP. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR LORI, HOLLY, KATY, AND KATIE. IT WAS THE BEST START TO MY DAY TODAY!!
Even when it’s packed, the restrooms are always clean. Kudos to the custodians!!!
My kids do basketball and swimming regularly here, and they just love their coaches. They enjoy every single class and look forward to the next.
Love the facility, instructors, class options and people who use the gym.
