Member Testimonials
I have really enjoyed my experience going to the MFB YMCA. I am always greeted when I walk in & it makes my day every time Maria greets me by name. I have been working with Sarah Ensenet as my personal trainer for several months now & it’s been so much more than I could’ve asked for. She’s been consistently motivating & encouraging & is so knowledgeable about what I should be working on to reach my personal goals. The location is always clean & the people are always welcoming!
I love how inclusive the space is - so much effort is put into making everyone feel welcome.
gym classes
I'm there 3 days a week. I find the employees friendly and helpful. I know many "regulars" and feel like they're family. The equipment is fine, there are machines for every exercise I need. The only thing I find irritating are the people who sit at a machine and then use their cell phones for talking, texting and whatever else they deem necessary. I've seen younger people at a machine, using their phones for up to 40 minutes. Of course, it's the last machine I want to use to complete my workout regimen. Perhaps a sign could be posted to minimize the cell phone usage??
This isn't a deal breaker, just an observation some of us have shared when waiting to use equipment. On snow days, spring break and summer vacation, it's the worst.
Love the friendly people
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, tons of equipment and ways to exercise, plenty of free parking, great group exercise classes, expert trainers, world’s greatest manager-Sarah.
Competence of the staff. They have positive and friendly personalities and are always ready to assist.
Sam, the intern, gets an A+
Gina, my trainer, is trainer extraordinaire. Thank you for keeping me focused and engaged.
I want to give special recognition to Molly and Sarah and the work that they are doing to build a community of welcome and acceptance for all. They are leaders who make things happen.
The Mary Free Bed YMCA has been an integral part of my life these past three years. I give thanks for the community of staff and members that has help me in my physical, spiritual and mental health.
The facility and cleanliness
A member since 2008. The variety of equipment and indoor tracks are fantastic. I also like to support all of the 'good' that the Y does for people and the community.
Instructors and classes. Would like more later afternoon classes
Everything
Facility is nice, staff is friendly.
Great place to work out. Fitness instructors are friendly and very helpful with any questions you might have. Mary Freebed I think has the most amount of classes that you can choose from. It's an extremely nice environment. I've made many friends.

Group fitness classes are a great way to start my day! The instructors are knowledgeable, motivating, inclusive and kind. I’ve enjoyed getting to know my classmates and feeling a part of the YMCA community.
