Member Testimonials
The sauna was great
The closeness of the facility to us and how well the facility is kept up.
The variety of equipment, the friendly staff, the hours, etc.
I still think it could be cleaner, especially outside the front doors and inside the foyer. Each machine could use a deep cleaning once every six months.
We love the updated family locker rooms.
Great assortment of equipment and an overall well thought out and stocked facility.
The YMCA has a lot of work out equipment
Great place we went to a yoga class with sarah was outstanding parking solution is a bit far and crossing the road on the way is dangerous
Fun classes and financial assistance make fitness accessible for me.
We really enjoyed our parent and child swim classes. Miss Christine was a wonderful instructor! Loved her energy, enthusiasm, and encouragement, as well as her practical advice.
I have to say, when I walk in the workers are very pleasant. This really makes my day start out well.
Kristine is a great teacher. Very enthusiastic and kind
I enjoy he size of he facility and the many areas available for working out. I appreciate the staff and their helpfulness.
The power Pilates and power yoga classes
The child zone is awesome.
I've been taking a swim class and have been learning a lot. Art is a super great coach, and the environment is positive, even with my low skill level.
The layout.
So many locations. Great parking, so many areas to do different things for exercise. great views. I just love this place. I lost 50 pounds since I signed up just by showing up!
I love the evening classes and instructors. The people like Rodney at the desk are awesome. The new renovation is awesome.
Just wondering how it’s gonna be when that soccer stadium is finished and games are being played there.
The "y" has all the best equipment for my exercise needs.
Great place to stay healthy after 60
I love it. It’s a nice community of people & we have one of the best YMCA’s I been to. Definitely would recommend to anyone
Staff is friendly. It’s usually very clean. Most of the equipment is newer. Renovations have come out nicely. Men’s locker room is much improved
The views, the private locker rooms, the quantity of equip and weights, as well as the the pools!
My experience has been positive.
Returning in January, parking hasn't been the issue I thought it would be.
Seems to be a shortage in full-size lockers....but I haven't not had one either.
Staff has been helpful, as always.
I remember my Y years in the 2K's, when there was a Tues-Thurs yoga class at 6am. Sorry to see that is no longer available. Noon spin was nice too...back in the day.
If I had any complaint, it would be the loss of towels.
The new mens locker room and children’s center takes this place to the next level.
The new changes to the facility locker rooms are exceptional and much appreciated. The staff is sharp, very helpful, and go out of the way to help with anything needed. The parking is a little hassle now, but let's hope it's better for call when complete! Love the staff, the workout facilities, and we play Raquetball there every week! It's the best in Grand Rapids by far!!
I like the ymca downtown Grand Rapids its close its friendly and affordable now with better package deals than before you can even get a scholorship
The remodel in the locker rooms has really cleaned the place up!
It is nicely set up and the workers there are very helpful!

Nice facilities and equipment, and great staff.
