First of all there are no obstacles to conquer. You can either walk the ramp to enter or exit or the elevator. That’s what drew me here. The friendliness of the staff. I have had two accidents where I needed help and the staff was very helpful. If you are ill , like I was that day, the lifeguard can and helped me exit the water via the stairs, she was truly concerned about my safety. The patrons there are the best. Everyone seems to get along and enjoy the instructors. The instructors for the water classes are great, educated, and extremely helpful in making sure we are safe and that we are doing the exercises properly. Facilities are kept clean and orderly.Evertthing in its proper place. My only issue is how non caring some individuals get when they come in late to the pool classes. They think nothing of crowding others so they can exercise by their friends which isn’t right. Some come in as late as 30 minutes and they plop themselves right next to you or even on top of you and that is disruptive to the individual who was their on time. I wish there was a rule that if you are more than 10 minutes late you aren’t allowed in the class. Seems the Y could do something about this especially when the class gets to be 40 people in the family pool. Other than what I have described I find no major issues and just love this place.
Friendly staff and nice workout equipment and clean facilities
I love the great teachers at the Y. I love having different classes at 5am and how well they are taught. I am hoping we keep the ladies locker room cool like it has been. The spin room fans need to be replaced.
It has a sauna which other ymca may not have.
Plenty of weight machines and squat racks so that I can always find a spot even during busy times.
The Mary Free Bed YMCA is a wonderful and unique experience, whether for exercise, specific programs, or simply connecting for help and support. Truly a clean, friendly, and welcoming environment. And what a great community-focused organization.
Staff is friendly and helpful. There is a large vatiety of equipment. The facility has a very welcoming vibe to it.
I love this branch of the YMCA. The staff is friendly and there are plenty of ways for anyone at any age to exercise.
There could be improvement on the weight training floor regarding etiquette, though. Some hog equipment for extended periods, rather than allowing someone who is waiting to work in between sets. One time I waited for a machine where a young man was sitting at a machine but on his phone. I finally gave up. This principle is used in the pool. If it’s crowded…we share lanes.
Great!
It is a really lovely and modern facility!
I love all of the options that are open to me at the Mary Free Bed YMCA! There is the walking track, classes, free weights, machine weights, even a Pilates Reformer. I love that even when the parking lot is packed it feels so open. The people are wonderful and welcoming, no body shaming! Physical therapy is also on site and walk-ins are welcome. I have not used the physical therapy but my family has.

Activities from pickleball to weight lifting, beautiful pool, classes and great ventilation! Loooove the humongous fans! Closer and easier to access than the downtown Y which is not only farther from my house but now very difficult to access!?

I also like that the facility is clean, and all the equipment is usually in good working order.
Almost all instructors are great!
I like that you have a walking track and that the exercise equipment has information about what the machine is for and how to use it. I also like that the gym is clean and it provides disinfection wipes.
