Member Testimonials
close to home, the track is great
Cardiovascular. Strength training all in 1 place.
I’ve belonged to 3 different YMCA’s in my time and many other gyms, as I have moved a lot in my life. Mary Free Bed tops them ALL.
Great people, clean facilities with lots to offer for all ages. Thank you!
We love going to the Mary Free Bed YMCA. It is very enjoyable for all 3 of us in my family. My son loves kid zone and my fiancée and I love the gym. The only criticism I have is there is not much space for stretching or warming up. Otherwise there is a wide plethora of gym equipment ranging from free weights to exercise machines. There is a wonderful indoor track, along with two pools and a hot tub. Ever since we moved to Grand Rapids we wanted to get a YMCA membership, and since we got the membership we have not regretted it!
Location, classes
The variety of equipment.
I like the track for walking and the elliptical (C46, C47) machines. I do wish there were more of these machines as they are often busy.
How they are trying to accommodate the needs of the senior members.
The Staff is extremely helpful
Good atmosphere, new machines are great!
Clean, roomy and such a array of equipment to choose from.
Great facility, staff, and equipment. It's much farther away than the downtown Y, but we like it so much better.
Love the organized classes but very much miss the drumming classes. Have invited guests in the past to that class and they signed up! Is there a way to get it back??
