Member Testimonials
I enjoy all the resources MFB YMCA offers.
clean friendly atmosphere, although lately there have been a lot of issues with the heat in the family pool and the sauna in the women’s locker room. My score would definitely go down if these issues aren’t addressed soon!
It has something for everyone. I don't feel overwhelmed when I go inside and there are always employees to help with any questions. There are many classes to choose from along with swimming and hot tub.
The facility is always clean and lots of options of exercises to complete. We love the programs and special events. MFB staff are the kindest, most friendly and always over-the-top helpful.
I like seeing athletes in wheelchairs. Such an inspiration!
We love the track, the variety of machines and the layout of the workout areas.
Great family experience at the Y, friendly and supportive! Love the place with all the facilities, truly a growing community in Grand Rapids, MI

I love the friendly, helpful atmosphere. Enjoy the weighted machine and Eliptical. I do not like the increase in Senior prices, though!!
There are many things to like about the Mary Free Bed YMCA:
I like the wide range of exercise classes available; my favorite is Sunday yoga with Kari Bliss but I have also enjoyed Body Flow.
I work with trainer Ashley Sheeley, who has been an excellent support to me in setting my exercise goals.
I like the layout of the fitness space and the new equipment is great. I appreciate all the new free weights and machines.
One of the things I really like is the diversity of the clients at Mary Free Bed YMCA. Because there is such a wonderful range of people, everyone can feel comfortable being themselves and exercising and having fun, regardless of age, body type, race, gender, sexuality and ability, as well as social class. I feel more comfortable as a middle-aged white single mom because everyone else seems comfortable too.
Thank you for creating an inclusive, dynamic space.
Very friendly people and the facility is clean!
They are always friendly, helpful, and welcoming!
I love the people being so welcoming and always so helpful. The instructors are fantastic, motivating and eager to help each participant. The facility is always clean and I feel safe at the MFB Y.
The gym is wonderful, all the right equipment, knowledgeable staff and great hours!
Clean and well kept facility. Like the size of the track!
I love the Mary Free Bed Y so far! I mostly run on the treadmills and go to BodyPump, which I really love. I've never had to wait for a treadmill even when it's really busy.
Easy to navigate
The staff is friendly and it is newer and clean. There are usually plenty of machines to use. The track is long and spread out so it's easier to get around walkers as compared to other YMCA's that I have been to. We prefer this YMCA.
The facilities are well equipped with an extensive and complete range of exercise equipment and kept in great working condition in a well maintained environment with helpful staff . What more do you want from a gym facility. As a gym user who goes to lift weights and swm laps they cover all the bases I need from a gym well.
Very large, with plenty of resources, but easy to navigate.
I like the location and general atmosphere of the facility. The locker room is clean and the staff are friendly and courteous.
