Absolutely positively everything!!! Great staff and awesome workout equipment!!!
The facilities are generally very clean, everyone is friendly, the equipment is in good shape. Overall, it is a welcoming and comfortable place to exercise and feel well
I've had an exceptional experience at the Mary Freebird YMCA. The staff's professionalism, cordiality, and helpfulness have exceeded my expectations. The facility's cleanliness and order, coupled with the positive and inspirational energy, make it a standout. I would highly recommend Mary Free Bed YMCA to friends and family.
Very nice facility. I was able to use the indoor track instead of running on the icey roads.
Love the variety of classes offered for both kids and adults and the ability to utilize the KidZone while we are there!
Excellent spin classes. Love Bootcamp and variety of classes. The facility is wonderful.
The great personal training that I am getting from Lexi Coleman and all of the variety of training equipment that the YMCA has to offer.
Mrs Heidi is absolutely wonderful! Our 3 year old loves her ballet classes and looks forward to seeing her each week!!
I love the Y! My only complaint is how early all the branches close on Saturdays
All the equipment I need. Clean. Friendly.
The staff and faculty in general are great! We joined MFBYMCA because of ongoing therapy I have been receiving. This has resulted in my wife & I visiting the YMCA frequently. Thank you for being available and being a first class resource.

Our whole family loves the Y! Our three kids enjoy any time they get into one of the family pools and especially when they are able to use the aquatic slide downtown. I love that Master’s Swim has a home at the Y and my husband enjoys using all of the workout equipment and racquetball courts.
Clean, spacious facility, lots of machines, great pools.
Clean, right atmosphere, friendly staff,
I love the Y. It’s clean, and has great classes.
My only thoughts are it’s hard to use the courts for sports other than basketball. Would love to have a set time or court for volleyball.
Great pool and great early morning access.
I travel around the Midwest and haven’t found another Y that can compare to what we have in Grand Rapids.
The set up; cleanliness and positive fun staff.
Very nice facility for all ages love the family pool the most!
The track is the best, I use it 3-5 times/week. Excellent equipment options, helpful trainers, proximity to my home less than 5 miles.
The YMCA has activities for my entire family. Plus, the staff are so nice!
Varied times and offerings for group classes.
Shower&locker options vary as well.
Cleanliness is always attended to.
Pickleball, swimming, track and gym.
I enjoy all the resources MFB YMCA offers.
clean friendly atmosphere, although lately there have been a lot of issues with the heat in the family pool and the sauna in the women’s locker room. My score would definitely go down if these issues aren’t addressed soon!
It has something for everyone. I don't feel overwhelmed when I go inside and there are always employees to help with any questions. There are many classes to choose from along with swimming and hot tub.
The facility is always clean and lots of options of exercises to complete. We love the programs and special events. MFB staff are the kindest, most friendly and always over-the-top helpful.
I like seeing athletes in wheelchairs. Such an inspiration!
We love the track, the variety of machines and the layout of the workout areas.
Great family experience at the Y, friendly and supportive! Love the place with all the facilities, truly a growing community in Grand Rapids, MI
