Member Testimonials
Clean, well lit. Very pleasant and helpful staff.
The facility is clean and well-appointed. Everything I could want or need in a gym is there. I participate in the Gentle Yoga classes, and they are just right for me. I have used the pool, the treadmill, the rowing machine, and walked around the track. I am most impressed with the staff, members of which are friendly and helpful always.
Staff and facilities are both excellent. I do, however, wish it opened earlier on Saturday.
I love the instructors, programs and how welcoming staff are. Mary Free Bed Y is my happy place!

Big walking track
Friendly staff
Everyone is friendly and the facility meets my health needs.
We always go to the pool on Fridays. The water temp is always a bit cold at 84° . I see kids during swim lessons shivering as they wait for their turn. Maybe just a boost to 88 would even help. The hot tub is always very clean and enjoyable. Life guards are very attentive.
The great lap pool!
Nice water temperature.
Hallways are cold, women’s locker room is cold.
Nice job on cleanliness and friendliness!

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 love the track, good work out machines, nothing is ever broken for extended periods of time and some of the staff is so friendly
