The staff and the availability of equipment
People including the instructors/ front desk / lifeguards / staff on the floor/ members.
I love my Aqua cardio instructors!
you have a very clean & mostly friendly staff that are always ready to help & guide me.
The Y is the only gym I actually consider. I like MFB because of the track and the pool, and through use of those, I also found that the staff are amazing. But the Y is expensive; I wish it was more accessible to those with less money

What I like most about my Mary Free Bed YMCA experience is the great variation in group fitness options with inspirational instructors. It is easy to feel that you belong and everyone wants to see you succeed during every visit.
A clean place. Friendly people, staff & guests. Diverse equipment available for use. Big track with outside views. Loved seeing the kids weight equipment too!
It’s something for everyone! My teenage kids go, my husband and I go.
The variety of ways to work on my fitness goals, cleanliness of the facilities, and friendliness of staff and instructors.
Clean fitness area and locker rooms. Pools are nice. Place is big enough that even when busy you still have room to get a workout in
Miss Maddie was great for our preschool one class. It’s clear she has teacher DNA. Wish we had more than 4 weeks. Will be back. The organization was a little rough, after testing the first week some kids kept being directed to the wrong group every week.
It was a good length (4 brief sessions). My son made notable progress in his swimming abilities at that time, and the instructor (Ms. Brecken) was a good mix of kind and challenging to the kids.
I love the openness of the gym itself and that there are plenty of areas to do different exercises necessary. The area to have warm up with foam rollers and medicine balls is a nice touch if you don't want to be by the weighted section and vise versa.
One thing that is disappointing about your gym and gyms in general is that there is only one mirrored area in the gym and it is halfway up your body. While working out, I like to check my form- especially if I am doing a plank- and not being able to see what that plank looks like(i.e. a hip too high, butt sticking up, etc.) is difficult. I'd love to be able to jump rope and look at myself in the mirror as well.
Other than that, I'm excited to use the basketball courts and more throughout my time with this membership.
The community coming together to make this the best experience possible for kids, it would be nice if all the coaches could agree on certain rules that applies to everyone to make it more even and fair for the kids. Like, giving gentle reminders to players to pass the ball or to take turns to allow EVERYONE to play. Seems like they might leave the rules to be enforced by the referees, but coaches & assistants as guides must provide reminders as well.
With that being said, I would like to give a shout out to Brett Eiseler. He was our coach last year and he is the perfect example of a coach who teaches not only good techniques, but respect and good team work to the kids. He did an amazing job at giving an opportunity to all of the kids, the kids learned to wait for their turn, to support each other, to be respectful of the other team, check if someone was around that did not have an opportunity to shoot the ball, etc. A great coach and human being!
Also, thank you so much to the YMCA staff that coordinate these programs. It is not easy to keep everyone in track and all of you do a great job at providing these wonderful opportunities to the kids to play and make friendships. Thank you for the reminders, the rules, & the hard work to make this the most enjoyable experience for all families and YMCA members.
It’s a lot of fun. The teachers are great!
Nice facility with nice and friendly people.
The options of equipment is outstanding!!!!
I love that people from different ages and abilities take advantage of the classes as well as all the amenities. Seems like it levels the playing field as far as welcoming anyone and everyone. The trainers are great, too!
There were many instructors for each level of youth so instruction could be best tailored to the needs of each student. My daughter loved practicing diving and front crawl with Brecken!
Everything !!
