Member Testimonials
I rode the bike, attended a class, and sat in the sauna. All good experiences. The only bad part was where I left my phone on the bike - while I went to class and sat in the sauna - but someone found it and turned it in!! So grateful for that!
Most of the staff
My personal trainer is amazing ( SHE SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED )
this is a very judgement free zone, people of all fitness levels can feel comfortable working on their individual fitness goals here, which I love!
The aqua aerobics classes for adults.
well maintained facility; only complaint - sometimes it seems like long lead time to get
equipment repairs made
Great family friendly and clean facility!
Friendly staff, clean facilities, lots of options for exercise.
People there are so friendly and helpful!
We love the cleanness of the facility. The front desk has always been welcoming and friendly. I also love the fitness classes and the support the team gives for beginners.
I think the facilities are great and the staff have always been friendly. My biggest concern is the family locker room. I assumed it was to be used by families with kids and solo kids there for swimming. But I always see single adults using it instead of the men's/women's locker rooms. It makes me nervous to have my young daughter in there alone for swim team with so many adult men wandering around. Once there was a man waiting in there wearing just a towel.
Great work out area set up. And the facilities were very clean and organized. My only request is to have better lighting in the lap pool area. My family absolutely loves the Mary Free Bed YMCA!
We just recently returned because of the opportunity for inclusion for Special Olympics Athletes. A partnership with YMCA and Special Olympics enabled our son to work on staying healthy!
Awesome place and people!
My son has had lots of fun in this class. The coaches make this class fun and entertaining for the kids and keep things moving with different games and activities. Drew specifically has been amazing teaching this class. Drew’s high energy makes this so much fun. He’s helped my son develop more of a love of basketball. I’m disappointed when I went to sign up for the next session, it was full so my son is on the waitlist. Hopping he can do the next session!
Great environment, friendly staff, I love the classes
Nice facility, friendly and helpful staff, help create a mini community.
We love that the kids enjoy the time there and that the director listened to our concerns about placement for the girls.
Great program!
The Instructors are great with our girls! They look forward each week to getting their lesson.
Staff, Facility, and pool availability
Just started going to this Y. It is very nice and has a lot of equipment, also offers a large variety of group classes.
I feel welcomed at YMCA Mary Free Bed. I have knee disabilities and enjoy the swimming exercise classes and being able to laps when permitted.
GREAT yoga class on Monday mornings.
Great lap pool.
Clean bathrooms and locker rooms.
Variety of work out equipment.
Large windows and natural light.
Friendly staff.
The MFBY facility is great, accessible to all with ample amounts and varieties of exercise equipment and spaces. I participate in some group classes and really appreciate the expertise and friendliness of the instructors. I love that they work to build camaraderie and boost participants’ efforts when they see us really working hard.
Also, please do more to promote Pedaling for Parkinson’s. It’s a super friendly group cycling class that promotes steady moderate exercise. The MFBY instructors are all wonderful, kind, and take care to ensure that all participants have positive experiences. I have not been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and find this class can provide me with a good gentle cardio workout. It would be a superb intro to group cycling for people who are curious about such classes and for those just beginning their commitment to healthy physical activity.
The pools are great with excellent instructors for the aerobic swim classes!! Great life guards and good hours for children!!! We also love the walking track— sooo happy to have it close!!
Attendants at desk are also very helpful and friendly 🤩👍
The layout of the building.
I enjoy the aqua aerobics classes, the track and the friendship of other members.
Wide selection and f activities. Pool, pickleball and track are current favorites
Beautiful facility that is accessible for all and has such an amazing variety of members. I’ve used the MFB Y for many years and always feel comfortable and welcome.
The Mary Free Bed YMCA is always clean and the staff is friendly. My kids love the kidzone staff and get excited to go to the gym. The YMCA is my village.
