Member Testimonials
Clean modern and excellent classes
I participate in the morning Aqua Fit swim classes Monday through Thursday. There are so many great things to say about the Mary Free Bed YMCA. I would like to give a shout out to the front desk and the swim instructors.
Tom and Shelley,
Thank you for a warm, welcoming face every day as we enter the building. You are so appreciated!
Lisa, Sue, Angela,
Thank you for your dedication, endless energy, and the extra time spent to cover other instructors’ vacation. All of you make sure that our class isn’t canceled. You are so appreciated!
The accessibility and seeing all age groups at the Y. I love the pools. Also the cleanliness of the building.
The Mary Free Bed YMCA offers a good range of services and is a good value. The range of programming has served my children and grand children well (starting at the old Southeastern Y on Forest Hills Ave. We've taken advantage of the workout facilities but also the programming from youth basketball, soccer, T-Ball, tennis lessons, swimming lessons and even a children's cooking class. The grand kids attended summer day camp several years and one went to Camp Manitoulin.
Everyone is so welcoming and helpful
A mile is only 5 laps!
We love this gym. We are always greeted when we check in. You cannot go wrong by joining.
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
The E-gym and having accessible people to help with questions.

Will you be adding increased Body Pump Heavy classes in the near future ? (Only offered twice a week)

I like the diversity - seeing people young and older from all over the community. I like the fact that some people are recovering and we are all there to get healthier or have fun. The staff is great as well. Everyone is very professional and friendly.
Close to my real estate office. Also, lots of open time to do what I want to do options. Also, the gym is very clean and cared for.
I love the variety of dance classes! Zumba with Narissa’s, Juanito’s classes fantastic. Just started with dance fitness class which was very good too. Also I was told about barre class with Dani O. Which I’ve taken 2 great classes.
Instructors are professionals that show passion, joy and love for others and what they do. They make it so much fun. The classes attract a diverse group of wonderful people who share the love of movement.
I wish the Y would look into teaching Barefoot Bands class. This is a class I took in the northeast. It’s good for core work and upper/lower body strength. It’s so much fun and unique. Also, Nia classes are fantastic. It’s a class that combines Tai Chi, healing arts and modern/African dance.
I feel so lucky joining Mary Free Bed Y classes. I’ve met wonderful, fun people and classes are top notch.
Thank you so much!
I enjoy the swim lanes and hot tub!
Group fitness classes and the friendly staff.
State of the art facility. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean. Bright. Wish they would bring back towels in locker rooms.
Everything! It’s a great place
Great staff, all the work out options, proximity
The space is well planned, its never too noisy even when it's busy. The giant ceiling fans help keep air moving so it never gets too hot and humid on the gym floor.
Staff friendly. Very clean. E-machines. Air circulation. Walking/running track
Enjoy the indoor track, the pool and the friendly staff. It’s a great place to go!
Friendly, helpful staff, lots of workout opportunity, incredible parking availability, MFB PT available and helpful
Nice clean building, I love the track and employees are always friendly and helpful

It starts with the very friendly and accommodating people that work at the front desk. They always make me feel welcome and typically offer a little pleasant conversation as I'm checking in. Then, the facilities are truly amazing! While I have only visited a few times so far, and have only used the weight lifting areas and locker room, I have always felt the huge facility has everything I need to get a really robust and comprehensive workout. Thank you all!!
