I love the YMCA! It feels like a community, not just a place for wellness and fitness. I love the easy-going nature of the staff and the people who are members! The free Schuil’s coffee in the morning is nice touch too!

Lots of options
This YMCA is so inviting - from the front desk, to employees throughout, and especially the instructors. Great community!
Has a lot of variety of activities and friendly staff.
I love the y. Great stuff for myself and the kids. I play pickleball which has been really fun on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. My only complaint is to add more gyms for pickleball on Fridays since it’s so busy.
easy access to the facility as well as being clean and spacious
Overall a great experience, the employees are very welcoming and very nice. One thing I would recommend is to eliminate the door to the mens locker room. I think this could be done and maintain privacy, it seems to be a pinchpoint for people coming and going.
The open space! Cleanliness and newness of it.
Clean and well staffed

Clean, friendly people, nice atmosphere
Handicapped friendly site. The whole vibe is you are welcome, no matter your ability.
Mary Free Bed is a great location with many different options to support a variety of heath/fitness needs.
There's so much that I like about Mary Free Bed YMCA, but one thing that I really like is that the group fitness classes are included in the membership, and no matter what my fitness level is at, the instructors are encouraging to everyone in the class.
It makes me feel proud of myself!
Plus I like the temperature compared to the outside temperature for running
I also like the fact that if I fall and get hurt someone there will help me.
Large , open, clean, safe, well run facility with a wide choice of health equipment and exercise options
Great space. Love everything about the facility, including the sauna!
Overall very good.
Communication on certain things could be better.
For example, the pool: On Monday and Thursday evenings, there are Rays and Masters swimming and all of the lanes are full. Yet open/lap swim is still scheduled for that time.
Several times the masters swimmers have had to give up pool space that they paid extra for, to allow the lap swimmer a lane.
I also think the change from quarterly program duration/enrollment to monthly is not good. It’s just a pain overall and now programs cost more as well.

Very nice facilities.
