Member Testimonials
It’s spacious and there are numerous workout options and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff
The environment. Wish you would bring back the cybex machines. there used to be at least 5 and now there is only one. I see people waiting for that one once someones gets off. If they are in demand not sure why they were replaced with something unlike them.
Clean, good equipment, friendly staff.
Very clean and well-maintained facilities! The staff is very friendly and helpful. We joined the YMCA again to utilize the KidZone for our two boys(4y/o and 1y/o) and they both have enjoyed themselves.
I love the classes! it has taken a while to get back to pre-Covid levels, but the variety of classes offered and the quality of the teachers is amazing. I don't always look forward to getting out of my house to exercise, but I do look forward to the classes and the community created in those classes.
Staff and options

Absolutely positively everything!!! Great staff and awesome workout equipment!!!
The facilities are generally very clean, everyone is friendly, the equipment is in good shape. Overall, it is a welcoming and comfortable place to exercise and feel well
I've had an exceptional experience at the Mary Freebird YMCA. The staff's professionalism, cordiality, and helpfulness have exceeded my expectations. The facility's cleanliness and order, coupled with the positive and inspirational energy, make it a standout. I would highly recommend Mary Free Bed YMCA to friends and family.
Very nice facility. I was able to use the indoor track instead of running on the icey roads.
Love the variety of classes offered for both kids and adults and the ability to utilize the KidZone while we are there!
Excellent spin classes. Love Bootcamp and variety of classes. The facility is wonderful.
The great personal training that I am getting from Lexi Coleman and all of the variety of training equipment that the YMCA has to offer.
Mrs Heidi is absolutely wonderful! Our 3 year old loves her ballet classes and looks forward to seeing her each week!!
I love the Y! My only complaint is how early all the branches close on Saturdays
All the equipment I need. Clean. Friendly.
The staff and faculty in general are great! We joined MFBYMCA because of ongoing therapy I have been receiving. This has resulted in my wife & I visiting the YMCA frequently. Thank you for being available and being a first class resource.

Our whole family loves the Y! Our three kids enjoy any time they get into one of the family pools and especially when they are able to use the aquatic slide downtown. I love that Master’s Swim has a home at the Y and my husband enjoys using all of the workout equipment and racquetball courts.
Clean, spacious facility, lots of machines, great pools.
Clean, right atmosphere, friendly staff,
I love the Y. It’s clean, and has great classes.
My only thoughts are it’s hard to use the courts for sports other than basketball. Would love to have a set time or court for volleyball.
Great pool and great early morning access.
I travel around the Midwest and haven’t found another Y that can compare to what we have in Grand Rapids.
The set up; cleanliness and positive fun staff.
Very nice facility for all ages love the family pool the most!
The track is the best, I use it 3-5 times/week. Excellent equipment options, helpful trainers, proximity to my home less than 5 miles.
The YMCA has activities for my entire family. Plus, the staff are so nice!
Varied times and offerings for group classes.
Shower&locker options vary as well.
Cleanliness is always attended to.
