Member Testimonials
It's a great place to work out. Although it's a small YMCA, everyone knows each other. It has helped me gain strength and improve my nutrition. I wish there were more leg and back equipment available and that there was a girls' basketball league. Other than that, the employees are doing a fabulous job.
Friendly, clean. Classes are well run and instruction is excellent.
The people. The space between the machines. The clean bathrooms. The gathering area invites people to sit and sip coffee with friends.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
We love the fitness for life classes. We feel that they are helping us to get stronger and stay more active.
staff is very friendly
Great equipment, and even greater staff and friends.
Convenient. Friendly staff!
I would love some heavier kettlebells.
Also, the ability to see what capacity the facility is at before I go there would be nice too!
The KidZone has, without exaggeration, changed my life. Being able to take my baby there as soon as I was cleared for exercise allowed me to get back into a fitness routine and restrengthen my postpartum body. Having that time to care for my healing body and mind has prevented the PPD I had with my previous children, without putting extra strain on my partner by leaving him with the kids. The staff are incredibly kind and trustworthy. I couldn't recommend it more strongly for parents of young children to have a moment to care for themselves.
KidZone aside, everyone who works for and visits the Y is so welcoming. I work remote, and often the Y is my only trip outside the home in a day; seeing a small but friendly set of regulars and staff makes me feel a lot more socially connected to Lowell.
The sign up process was quick and easy. Also I have been quite active with the pickleball facilities. Fellow members have been very kind and welcoming.
I love the size of the gym. It's very and gives a great home feeling. My only comment is the hours on the weekends make it difficult to come in and work out. I understand employees need their breaks though!
Clean. Friendly. Great instructors.
This branch is so special! I feel at home every time I enter, and look forward to the beautiful sense of community I get when I interact with members!
The people that attend the same hours that I do have now become my friends.
I'm really grateful for the Litehouse YMCA and the community there. Litehouse is halfway between my home in Ionia and my office in East Grand Rapids. I've enjoyed getting acquainted with the regulars as I become a regular myself! Group fitness classes are so so excellent and I'm grateful for all the instructors I've taken classes with, especially Jayce. With her instruction, I feel confident that I'm using proper form in intense classes to protect my body from injury that would derail my fitness journey while still challenging my body to grow in strength, fitness and endurance. I hope that more people join and or more people who keep their primary membership at a different GR-area YMCA move their membership to Litehouse so that it can continue to grow group exercise options. It seems like the excellent classes are bursting at the seams!
The facility is great and the staff is also.
Our family loves the Litehouse Y! The community and familiar faces is so wonderful, and our children are so well cared for in kidzone. The teachers know them, and pour into them.
Staffing is changing a bit but the common great practices remain. Equipment is always functional and clean. Kidzone is hands down 20 out of 10 amazing.
I have had an incredible experience with the Kidzone and their staff. I also appreciate how clean the facility always is!

We are going to miss Marta.
The Litehouse Family YMCA has many great qualities that we love! Amazing staff and instructors, very clean, and the best child care section we have seen at a gym. While the gym space is much smaller than others and it lacks multiple of the same weight machines, the community and staff makes up for it!
Friendly staff, clean facility
