I love the Mary Free Bed Y, best one in Grand Rapids!
It’s a unique facility. I like it a lot.
The Les Mills instructors and staff in general are great.
Clean facility, good amount of equipment for the amount of people working out, our kids love going to childcare and the pool for family swim.
I love the gym and pool, but the women's locker room experience is subpar to the David D. Hunting Y.
Location
I have free silver sneakers entry in a neighboring gym. I love the Mary Freebed Y because it is diverse and accepting, and is a pleasing, yet efficient and well-equipped environment.... not to mention it has the very best instructors anywhere.
During Covid years, I continued to pay my dues even though I wasn't attending. I knew the Y was in financial trouble, so I stayed active with dues anyway. For all appearances sake, it seems it has apparently re-bounded.
Thanks everyone for helping me get my health back up and running… Jennifer Peterson 🌼
I like working out, walking the track and swimming. I like everything about the facility. I only wish the YMCA in Grand Rapids participated in the Silver Sneakers program. Regrettably, I will leave the Y later this year after I turn 65.
Amazing facility! Much cleaner then the Downtown Y.
We love the facility and all it has to offer! It’s kept very clean as well! Also love the diverse abilities that use this.
Friendly staff, great pool, clean safe environment

Great staff!
