Member Testimonials
It’s so easy to use and it’s very clean and friendly!
I only use the track.
Lots of equipment & great pool!
Friendly staff
The people!
Very friendly.
Firstly I am so happy that the Y has been so welcoming to all of us Priority Health Medicare One Pass members. MVP refused to accept our One Pass after having done so for the previous two years. So thank you! The Y has been so very friendly and I'm sure the influx of us has been a big change.
The Y is closer for us and I am so happy not to listen to the excessively loud music that is mostly rap and hop hop that was at MVP. I was not alone in that respect as many people complained to them. One guy even brought a machine that could tell the decibel level and it registered way over the recommendation. I sometimes hear some music when we get to the Y at 5 am, but then I don't hear anything when we get started exercising. It is wonderful!
It’s friendly, have all the classes and equipment that anyone would need
Friendly staff and other members. Everyone is helpful
I like how big the hot tub is because I had a wall fall on me and I have the most titanium steel ever recorded in the human body and they said I would never walk again because I broke my back in five places and my hip completely in half and pretty much everything on my right side because I had a wall fall on me the hot tub is really important to me because I was in the wheelchair for two years and it took me 15 years to walk again and the reason why I’m walking is because of the hot tub and stretching out and being able to stretch out and do my thing in the hot tub is very important for me to do my pool therapy so the fact that it’s bigger than Greenville so I don’t get forced out and I can still do my pool therapy and I’m like the Tin man and the hot tub is like my oil bath because for me it’s not relaxation it’s pool therapy and I like the fact that your pool is bigger for the same reason so I can do my pool therapy and not be in the way or have somebody in my way. 😉
Overall, good facility!
Currently, it is a mess as it is going through the renovation. Hope that when all is done, it will be clean and good.
Now, the new Men's locker rooms are not designed well. There is no seating. When I go there from work, I need to change clothes and shoes; I need to sit down and make the transition, and you just can not do it comfortably. They have now kept a few chairs, but it is a big architectural and design flaw. Also, they wasted a lot of space on changing stalls that no one uses. All patrons change clothes near their lockers, and no one goes to those stalls. Wrong design again!
Now, the new lighting is awesome. The facility looks bright and fresh.
Not sure when they did outside work, what went wrong. There are so many places where there is water leaking from the roof. So, in most practical purposes, using the walking/running track has been a very difficult challenge.
So, not sure why such a new upgraded facility has so many issues/flaws.
Also, hope they build the bridge between the Seward Parking ramp and the Y building soon. It is dangerous to walk from the parking ramp to the Y building.
The pool and the pool program is great
Good variety of exercise equipment, maintained well in a clean and safe environment
I love the Wolverine YMCA! The people are very friendly, it is clean, and the equipment is well maintained. I use the weight machines, bikes, and treadmills. I am sure I will be taking a class in the near future.
I love this place, it would be AMAZING if it had a sauna but other than that- it’s wonderful.
Family membership for a few years now. Love how clean the gym is. The staff is super polite and very helpful. Nice variety of equipment and classes. Instructors are wounderful. Child care workers top tier love my kiddos like they are their own. We have had quiet a bit of communication issues with the gentleman that orginazes the sports teams. We might consider looking else where for sports next season. Other than that we love our gym.
I am happy there is a location in the NE Grand Rapids and wish there was another YMCA in the NE closer to Grand Rapids. Perhaps the former US Marine Corp Reserve Center at 1863 Monroe Ave NW.
The WWW Ymca needs to keep up with their Elkhart filters on the drinking fountains. The David Hunting Ymca always has green light and how many plastic bottles saved on readout. The two drinking/bottle filling stations at WWW do not display any information.
We love the pool and nice staff
Community and friends
Friendly atmosphere and multiple choices.
Great people. I love the management and hot coffee.
The Wolverine YMCA has such a friendly staff.
All equipment is kept up and clean.
Offer a lot of exercise classes with your membership.
Everything is easily accessible.
Would give them a 10 if they added some outdoor pickleball courts
The machines are high quality. I also like the TV monitor being attached to some of the machines. It makes it much easier to watch television instead of having the TV on the other side of the room.
You have a machine that helps me build stamina and heart health that other gyms have gotten rid of; so I am happy, as that's the one I like.
The front desk staff are great at remembering us and welcoming. All trainers and housekeeping staff are also friendly and do a great job.
Leesa and Stephanie are great instructors.
There are classes every day for all levels, including older members. And alternative exercises are shared so those with physical limitations can participate safely.
The pool temperature is good for lap swimming and exercise classes.
great value, the classes i take. Seeing all different ages of people there
Staff are very courteous and professional...for positions that become available from time to time, a suggestion is offered- clone the current team!
Good mix of machines, and the price is fair. Daycare is a major plus although times make my schedule difficult.
They really care about the people. They make changes based on the members feedback.
They keep the facility clean. They always show up even through the bad weather. They ask how you are. They address your concerns. They welcome you sincerely. The members are so caring and you can connect with them easily. People share for the most part the Lap lanes very happily.
Nothing is all about them it is all about the members. Never been at a better facility.
Thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes! Really appreciate you!

Great place for all ages. Great price, great service. Awesome employees there who very helpful. Awesome place to go get a workout and pool is Awesome. And great place for families too.
