Member Testimonials
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.

Family locker room.
We love the YMCA! We mainly use the pool, but really appreciate the family changing rooms and small child area. Our son had the opportunity to attend the Mary Free Bed YMCA Spring Break camp and had a BLAST!

I finally found my Grand Rapids gym! Great community space and modern gym that's welcoming for all
I like how spacious things are in between pieces of equipment. I also like the additional equipment that was added recently.
Expert and courteous staff, excellent exercise machines and indoor track, clean locker room facilities, convenient location.
This is the nicest, newest and largest YMCA I have been to, and I have been to 50+ Y's across the country.
I especially enjoy the plentiful open lap swim hours, the 5 lap/mile indoor track and the super friendly staff (Rich, Maria, Carlie, Carson and Rachel).
The facility is clean and the staff are friendly and efficient!

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.
