Member Testimonials
I regularly go to your Y location for swimming and water aerobics. Pool is always nice and clean. The temperature of the air in the family pool is sometimes comfortable but other times it is quite chilly. You could also use new and better equipment for the water classes. The noodles are falling apart and the foam barbells are loose and don't work well under water. If you are going to offer water aerobic classes, the least you could do is have equipment that works for it's members. The instructors are awesome but there is nothing they can do when equipment is crappy!
People are always friendly. I like the variety of classes.
I do wish there were more classes that focused on seniors.
Friendly employees and helpful!
Clean, well equipped, friendly staff.
Close to home and clean.
I love the kidzone and all of the staff. When I see Jennifer, Heidi and Keenya I know my kiddos will be in good hands, they always go above and beyond.
The fitness floor has great equipment and the machine additions have been noticed. There does need to be an additional sitting hamstring curl or a hammer strength standing leg curl would be a great addition. The seated leg curl seems to always be in use with a line to use it.

I enjoying working out and walking with people of all ages and from many different backgrounds.
The facility is super-friendly, clean and well appointed.
My family joined the Y, the West Y, in 1972 where all 3 of our kids learned to play basketball through YBA! Our daughter and 2 other girls from that program went on to lat Division I BBALL. I was on the board at that Y, and our kids went through all of the swimming and diving classes. Then my husband switched to the new Downtown Y where he played early morning racquetball several mornings a week. After he passed away, I switched to the MFB in 2019 after serious surgery when I needed help rehabbing.
In short, the Y has always been there for us, and today, I enjoy going 4 days a week to workout and then walk 3 miles with my oldest and dearest friend. We know that our monthly membership fee also helps young people and other folks who normally could not afford those fees to also benefit from all the goodness the Y pours into Life.
The classes are so awesome! I love the feeling of community. The instructors could not be any better.

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 facility is clean, staff is friendly and welcoming and their equipment is continually being upgraded.
