location, friendly staff, lots of equipment available
Great instructiors
THoroughly enjoyed`my orientation. Staff very friendly and he3lpful.
I love the pool and hot tub. I do get frustrated when it’s closed.
Very warm and friendly staff.
I have been going to the YMCA ever since I was 10 years old. I went to YMCA camp on Barlow lake when I was 11 and 12. I missed a few years here and there, but there is no better place to be associated with and maybe Church is just ahead of the "Y"!
Oh my where do I begin, the staff is AMAZING, when I have questions about a fitness machine they are so readily to help me
Amenities and cleanliness
Only reason I go is Lynne Heney’sStretch Flex Balance on Fridays. She is amazing. A class for seniors thst isn’t wimpy and is t too difficult. My only issue—twice in the past month she’s been absent and there is no ‘sub’ listed on the app. If I knew I would probably go to another Y class at Hunting. REALLY find this inexcusable—and I always check the morning of the class.
I like the mornings when it's quiet and cool on these summer days.
The people at the front desk are very friendly and helpful
The friendly front staff and the awesome fitness group coaches! It would be nice to have coffee available more often!
This was my first time at Spartan Nash YMCA. Really enjoyed this location and all of the open windows over the Visser location.
Also, Madelina (I think was her name) she was working at the counter at the top of the stairs. She noticed I looked a little lost, I let her know it was my first time there and she took the time to help me orient myself. She was so incredibly nice, helpful and even recommended some classes. Definitely will be back to this location!
I love coming to body pump classes.
I enjoy the YMCA.Its a great place and love the pool time.
People working there are very willing to help you
The equipment is excellent and Marlene at the second floor desk was very kind and took the time to show and explain several pieces of exercise equipement I'd never used before. She made a 65 year old guy feel welcome even though I've never been too much of a gym person before this.
It's clean
People are very friendly
There are many classes and programs to pick from
And it's just plain fun
Offer more cardio focus workout classes after 5:30
Quality people employees and clean facility
All the different things to do there. And Mary Freebed to help people.
My godson really loved the experience of playing soccer with other 5-6 years older kids. He is truly falling in love with Soccer and I’ll be singing him up for another round starting in July.
I really wish you would make the hot tub accessible during swim lessons on Monday & Wednesday. I used to go work out & then go to Hot tub after work on Monday & Wednesday (5-6:30) but now I can't & on Wednesday during the summer after I play golf to cool off but again it falls in the lesson range. I'm in my 60'S so the Hot Tub is needed at times for prior life injuries
You are located between where I work & where I live in Hudsonville so it is difficult to go home & go back after dinner when the pool closes @ 8:30 as opposed to 9:30 prior to 2021 (covid)
Everyone is very nice to our daughter who is 2.5 who loves to explore the facility lol. She now runs around saying basketball nonstop.
La diversidad de espacio para realizar diferentes ejercicios
I was a member at the downtown Y for almost 20 years and when that facility went downhill, I was told (by an employee of the downtown Y) if I don't like it to leave..... I did. BEST DECISION EVER! The Spartan Y is a community which is what the downtown Y used to be. The workers are nice and great you every morning. The spin classes on Tuesday and Friday mornings are amazing. The Y is well maintained, unlike the downtown Y. Parking is easy. Yes it is expensive but I like the Spartan Y. My only concern is the employee that told me to leave, appears to have accepted a promotion at the Spartan Y. I am not happy to see that at all!
I have decided to visit all Y’s in our system. I resently visited Mary Free Bed Y on Burton, I used to live out there. Large , state of art, Full of people, but sterile, way too spread out. Front desk, showed no emotion, no interaction, no response, little activity. Lots of activity in the exercise area, but no smiles. It was a hike to get to the gym or exercise area.
Our ability to work with other Y’s (Visser) and share activities, volleyball and swimming, when facilities are down or in need of repair or updating is refreshing, not often seen today.
Our Y, SpartanNash, is well integrated, warm, friendly, accessible, people smile here, well located in an urban area. Front access to the building is warm and inviting, full of active people welcoming and willing to help. News briefs of activities changes or cancellations, recently our pool, is new twist for me. Active management, nice. There were more mirrors in front of our sinks in the locker room, than I saw in Mary Free Bed’s entire building. Children, kids, teens and adults are integrated well within our building, there are always sounds of people being active,. Your inclusion and main streaming of Mary Free Bed PT (I’m a client) and special needs individuals into the floor and exercise area is a real extension of a true community outreach and community action. What I don’t like is that our parking lot is usually full, my usual spot in the far corner of the lot, I need a reserved parking sign out there, I end up out there so often (the walk into the building, in the middle of winter is cathartic). Our classes (yes, I go) are teaming with people, active with people, enjoying the activity. Still you can find a private area, if needed for personal workout or personal exercise and growth. I’m old school Y, just a boys club. This new chapter in true community involvement at SpartanNash Y is refreshing and enjoyable. Next, if ask about what I would change, I would be certainly love to provide a list, the list would be much shorter and take much more thought. Still waiting for my first idea.
