Member Testimonials
I appreciate the fact that there are now unisex changing rooms and that the women's sauna/hot tub space feels friendly for my trans partner so far. It would be even better if there were unisex locker space and signage that all changing rooms are explicitly trans inclusive spaces, but so far no one has bothered us (my partner has experienced hate crime at other gyms). I just hope that as a brown trans woman, she would feel as safe as I do if she came by herself. For context, I am white/nonbinary, but fairly cis-passing.
Gym
Yoga classes are the best. The equipment and size of the building and the track are amazing!
i love the faculty, the environment, the social setting, the programs, and the variety of equipment to train or strengthen every area of your health!

The location, the updates and cleanliness of the facility, the diversity and variety of program offerings, and the welcoming and friendly staff.
I love the YMCA. It is so accessible and welcoming to people of all shapes, sizes, and ages. It makes me feel part of a community that I love!
A Good mix of people, it's clean and the pool area is very comforting.
The women’s locker room and shower is always clean.
The place is modern clean and lively, it's no surprise that it's a popular spot!
The facilities are fantastic! I really appreciated the updates to the locker rooms with the wider lockers and better floor play and amenities. The equipment has always been top-notch, well-maintained, and kept clean. The staff is always helpful and kind. And, in my opinion, the downtown Y has done everything they can to accommodate the complexity of parking. Lastly, I love the steam room and wish all of the GGR YMCAs had them.
Great place
Staff was very helpful
I love the dance classes! It’s a great workout and feels like a party:)
Great variety of classes and friendly professional staff.
I liked that there were a lot of cardio equipment compared to the Belmont/ Rockford one
Fitness classes and weight training equipment.
Although the construction makes parking an issue, the changes in the facility are goid
Very close where I live and the front desk employees are very nice.
I LOVE the classes and the encouraging, supportive atmosphere from the teachers and the other students in the class. I appreciate the variety of classes offered throughout the week so that I don't feel bored or stagnant.
My certified trainer, Pete Kaiser, and the Y team at our tiny Corewell Health Place Y are just fantastic!!!
The classes are great they are like a family to me I enjoy coming I do not appreciate the parking for people that have children that are only allowed to certain time and they have to pay that is not right
Great people both staff and members
There is a good variety of machines and the gymgoers are quite nice generally speaking
Great indoor track! My only suggestion would be to post signs stating what lane walkers should be using! This could easily be displayed by the signs with arrows showing which direction to run/walk in!
I appreciate the sense of community the Y offers. The central location is also convenient. The equipment and facilities are also really great. The personal trainers at the Y are excellent, particularly Pete Kaiser...I have been working with him for almost a year now. His knowledge about anatomy and strength training is wonderful. He is an amazing trainer because of his depth of knowledge, his careful attention to detail, his honesty, and his superb sense of humor.
