Member Testimonials
I’ve been a member for years love it here 😁
We send our son to the daycare and it is fantastic! Everyone is very nice, they do great activities with the kids, and we get great updates on the app throughout the day.
The staff is great
I love the staff at the David D. Hunting YMCA ! The staff is always super nice and always makes sure we are helped and have great communication skills!
The equipment, friendly staff, community feel and variety of classes.
I appreciate the group fitness classes. Kickboxing and Body Balance are my favorites! The instructors are wonderful. I also love walking on the track and appreciate the natural light shining through to the track because of all the windows. Keep up the good work!
I am currently only involved in the cardio mix aquatic exercise class and love it. I always appreciate the welcoming front desk people as well as the lifeguards early in the mornings. Sandy and Liga conduct fun and energetic classes. I struggle as I get older getting used to the cooler pool temperatures, but in the long run I know that it is good for me. Before the pandemic, I worked with several trainers upstairs who educated me on my current exercise regime that I complete at home. I appreciate the knowledge and expertise of all those who have helped me to maintain my health. I am a cancer survivor, post spinal fusion, and now recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic so exercise is very important to my health!! Thank you!!
The facility is very nice and I like the members that use it.
It feels like family.
People, facility and good environment
amazing. and yes, I do recommend it OFTEN. I write books for salespeople and one of those books is about EXECUTE and in the book we discuss exercise. So, there you go! (and I show a pic of the MFBY in my presentation).
Very nice facility
I like the classes - water, gentle yoga, strength & balance sorts. I also like the fact the Y is very clean & friendly.
The variety of things to do and classes offered.
I never have to wait to use a machine.
Everyone is so welcoming! The gym is such an inclusive space and it's wonderful to see so many members of the community here.
Although the other ymca branches are nice I love this branch way better! The family pool is nice for my little to splash in the locker rooms are nice amd the kod zone is awesome! There is just one thing recently they stopped serving free coffee and they no longer have the Cafe which I loved. But other than thst david d. Hunting ymca is the only one I'll go to!
I really love the downtown Y!
I heard through that parking lot may be going away in the spring to build a sports stadium. I was really sad to hear that! I’m a bit concerned about the parking situation once that happens. Hopefully it doesn’t cause to much of a mess. I may start going to the Mary Free Bed location if that happens.
Friendly staff, easy childcare, wide variety of activities and machines.
The David D. Hunting Branch of the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids is a complete facility, in a great location, with helpful, trained Staff. In addition, the Community outreach and support by the Y regarding our youth programs, nutrition, and physical fitness are all unsurpassed in Kent County.
I am thankful for the new rowing machines!! Two things that I would love to see improved are the availability of free weights. Many mornings the weights I am looking for are not available. It would also be great to have better quality spin bikes available.
I love the staff, the amenities, and the convenience of a great gym down town.

Friendliness of staff, diversity, facilities, etc.
The facility has so much to offer for all.
Friendly Staff, Nice Facilities, Good Culture. I enjoy it!
The YMCA has changed my life. Since becoming a member one year ago, I have changed both mentally and physically, for the better! I look forward to working out every single day- it has become an essential part of my routine. Great variety of classes, and the instructors are pros, (and so fun and kind!). I've made new friends and learned new skills. In the best shape of my life at middle age :).
Fitness classes, cleanliness and wonderful friendly staff
I like the variety - weight machines, cardio equipment or the track & most of all, the Les Mills classes. I would love it if DDH was able to add a combat class to the morning schedule (before work).
Also I saw there is now drop-in pickleball. Any possibility of adding a class to learn how to play?
Really great pools.
This branch needs a water bottle filler.
