Member Testimonials
The variety, frequency, and quality of classes, equipment, instruction and trainers are best in class.
I see all ages young and old trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
this facility works for me due to its location, my ability to usually get my preferred work out
done timely; keep updating equipment; it would be nice if there was one additional
'stairstep' unit
Every time I visit it seems the breadth of our community is represented. It is a 'safe' place for people to of all ages and fitness levels - it does not seem a place of shallow aspirations or judgement. If you are there it is assumed you are working to optimize your health at whatever level that might be. These are key reasons I invest my member dollars in the Mary Free Bed YMCA. It's the culture that keeps bringing me back week to week.
Kudos to the training staff. I have received great support from my trainer in meeting my health goals over the last year. The only constructive criticism I can offer would be exercise class sizes. They are so full and crowded that I chosen not to participate in any of them. The exercise class space seems too limited to serve the interest level of the member population. Expansion or reallocation of space might help as the classrooms upstairs seems most often empty.
Thanks for soliciting feedback.
We participate in the Parkinson programs and are so pleased that MFBed Y offers these programs to the community.
Helpful, friendly staff. Pretty good equipment.
Great facility, pleasant staff, accommodating hours.
Very nice facility , staffs very knowlegd and helpful
The track and pickleball.
I would assume the new pickleball nets are coming in the next couple weeks after spending all that money on the new machines I would assume you could spring for a couple of new nets to replace the old broken ones.
My fa favorite part of my MFB YMCA experience is Group fitness comradery. Great inspirational instructors and team motivation. I could never push myself to the same level I get at MFB!
The staff is great, the instructors are wonderful, the classes are fun. I feel welcomed and never judged by my appearance. I also love how much the Y does for the community.
We enjoy the pool with the hot tub and the water aerobics class. Having an indoor track allows us to walk comfortably in any weather all year long.
Love Mary Free Bed. Not every area of the country has access to such an amazing family fitness and wellness facility. I love that the West Michigan YMCA's provide an opportunity for families and people of all ages and backgrounds to embrace a healthy lifestyle and learn new skills, sports, etc. The Mary Free Bed location is in great condition and has a nice, fresh vibe.
We particularly love Tom, who often mans the front desk. He's so friendly and makes you feel like you belong there.
Free membership with Medicare. Safe place to walk and work out in winter.
Lots of things to do, well maintained, couldn't think of anything I'd change.
