Great teacher for my son's basketball class. Ms. Andrea kept the kids engaged, made it fun and understood when they needed breaks or a change of activity.
Easy sign up and my son had learned so much from the lessons.
Great! Made my very scared of the big pool daughter feel comfortable to ease her way into being comfortable
Swimming cardio classes
Track
I really enjoy the classes. They are what makes my experience so great! The instructors are warm and welcoming. I really appreciate that some of them have taken the time to really get to know me.
The instructor makes the class, in my opinion. Thus far we have been very pleased with the instructors. They push the kids enough to make progress but are kind and encouraging. They also keep the class moving quickly so they get a lot accomplished in the half hour. Mara and Grace are the two most recent ones we've had and both have helped my girls a lot.
The first swim class instructor was fantastic. We signed our son up for the next course in the series.
The coach was friendly and welcoming to my son. As a four year old there was no pressure and they had a lot of fun.
It’s so clean and new! We love going there
Developmentally appropriate lessons for small children. Fun and interactive.
I love all of the equipment; I rarely have to wait to get on any cardio or weight machines.
Everything. Except sometimes oarki g lot too full.
Like the facility
The staff at Mary Free Bed is so friendly and hard working! Tawnya is so amazing, I never would have guessed that she started at the Y just a month or so ago! I really enjoyed working with her.
This isn't my experience, but a member did come up to the Welcome Desk to comment on how clean the facility is.

It’s been great so far! Our family has loved trying so many different activities… from work out classes to machines, pool, sauna, running on the track, shooting hoops, racquetball downtown, to carpet ball and ping pong! All around - so happy we joined to help make 2023 extra great!

The people
Kid zone staff is friendly. Close to home. A bit busy bit to be expected at the beginning of the year.
I joined the "Y" 18 months ago, after leaving another local, well-established fitness club. The facility is top notch, well-maintained, and offers a broad range of individual and organized opportunities to develop your own fitness priorities - as well as the trainers, equipment, and other tools to help you implement those priorities. The staff is friendly, welcoming, helpful, and diverse - and always willing to lend a hand or answer a question. The indoor track is a godsend on those cold, snowy, winter days, and the building is conveniently located on the Cascade Township pathway for both access, and use, on those days when Michigan weather is not a deterrent. On balance, an excellent value and a wonderful part of our community! J Engel, Ada
