Great staff and programs
This Y has it going on! The staff is always friendly and the place clean. So many activities for the whole family.
I've always found the staff at Mary Free Bed cheerful and happy to help. I find it easy to interact with other YMCA members. Our facility is well-lit, clean, and spacious.
All the availible classes!!!
Easy and fun
Staff is friendly and helpful. Feels like a community.
your mission of serving/empowering all people of all abilities in on display constantly. The wheelchair basketball league for example is a very visible example. The integration of MFB PT and hydroponic and greenhouse gardening and sales and nutrition classes is awesome.
Our daughter is one of your lifeguards so we are ALL IN on your mission. We are grateful for the experience and wisdom Elana has gained from working for the Y.
This is the golden gem of all Ys!
Very clean, love the pool. Life guards are so nice.
I have not used it. Have only heard good things about it.

I love all of the options for classes for adults and for my 3 kids. Having a Master’s swim class in the evening at this location has been life-changing for me!

Accessibility and cleanliness
It is clean, well organized and the employees are kind and helpful.
It's the newest Y in Grand Rapids and very large. I generally don't need to wait for equipment. The staff is very friendly and the entire facility is built for anyone to use.
Great hours, location, parking and the group fitness class choices!

Everyone so friendly. The facilities are very clean. There are people to help regardless of physical condition
everything!
Love coming here to workout. It’s always clean, staff are available and friendly, variety of equipment, something for everyone. My only complaint is that sometimes there are too many teens having social hour on the gym floor taking up equipment (while others are waiting) but lately that hasn’t been an issue so I think it may have been addressed. Glad to see how many youth are actually there staying fit & healthy!
Absolutely positively EVERYTHING!!! From the moment you walk in there and see the smiling faces behind the welcome desk and the wonderful staff in the sports area this place is simply perfect 👌!!! Everything is clean and well maintained and I love going there!
The facilities and staff are excellent. The gym facilities are great both in terms of environment and equipment resources. The staff are friendly and helpful. I have my choice of where choose to work out and the MFB Y is superior to everywhere else I looked at in Grand Rapids.
Love the MFB Y! Lots of options, friendly staff and there is something for everybody.
The diversity and inspiration our wheel chair friends give us. Great selection of classes to choose from.
Love it here
