Member Testimonials
I like being around people without having to buy things. It's a third space where you can just be, and get your movement needs in (and relaxation in the hot tub and sauna!), without having to socialize unless you want to. You get to be around all kinds of people. And I love swimming in the pool in Winter, when you can't swim outside!
Love the pool for lap swimming.
Clean, Friendly, Professional Staff, If You Have An issue or Concern The Y works hard to Solve Your Problem. Great Variety Of Working, Well Cared For Equipment and Staff That works hard To Make Sure You Enjoy Your Time At The YMCA.
I love walking on the track and getting to see so much of the sun and outside! The fitness instructors always do a great job, too.
The locker rooms and pool were very clean, organized, and just an overall awesome space to be in; a *very* nice, large facility.
Friendly staff. downtown location, commitment to mission for disadvantaged kids.
I love the availability of fun classes and I never have to wait for equipment in the gym. The pool and hot tubs are great amenities during the winter months. The ramp parking is easy and I will continue to recommend the downtown Y as long as it remains completely free to members... I am very concerned about what might change once the stadium is up and running next door, but for now, zero complaints!
It offers everything anyone could possibly want. The staff is super friendly! Great location, too.
great staff support. very good facilities
All the people doing various kinds of exercise energizes me and motivates me to exercise. Friendly, diverse. Lots of great equipment, lots of variety. I can work out, run, and then when I'm hot swim for a while. Or I can play racquetball with a friend.
I like that it is a family-friendly place that has everything I need and is inviting.
It’s a very great place to get a workout . The sauna and the steam room is an extra perk . Only thing I don’t like is the 2.5 hrs or the parking fee .
Everything
Could we have some outdoor seating near the front door?
There's not enough large lockers
Thank you
Parking is not the greatest but everything else is great
A complete gym - perfectly built locker rooms are private to both men and women with builtin jacuzzi, steam amd sauna. Exercise equipments are state of the art. Provides accesible parking with specific space for handicap, seniors, and young families around the building, as well as shared GVSU parkin, healthy/clean environment.
I enjoy my 5am classes, instructors and community of people like me, there first to start our days! I wish I could stay for the entire class most days but my work schedule is demanding and I have to be home with limited hour to get ready and out the door for work!
Would love to see Megan back on Friday at 6:15am or 7:15am teaching her 45 minute Vinyasa style yoga! That was a favorite class and time, especially for the summer when it’s time to get outside and 11 am is late for a class for me. Even 8 am classes would be great for spin, body pump or yoga on Fridays, weekends or Wednesday mornings.
love this place! Its part of my life. Everyone is welcoming!
The space and equipment is conducive to getting a good workout. Having others to workout with is encouraging and motivating.
Friendly people, cleanliness and wide variety of exercising options.
The running track, sense of welcoming community, location of David D. Hunting and all the machines.
I have tried several in Grand Rapids. None compare to downtown. Mainly the staff and friendliness. Visser, is by far, the dirtiest and most ambivalent about their guests. Often you're lucky if they glance at you. Downtown makes you feel welcome and valued as a member! All the locations should
Learn from Rodney!
Locker rooms are great. Equipment is fantastic. Track and leaky roof is disappointing
Beautiful facility. Men’s locker room upgrades are very nice.
Pool, as always is good
Parking? Well….adds 15-20 minutes to the trip…
Staff is fantastic
Lots of space, lots of equipment, I love the programs offered for my family. Keep up the good work! ☺️
I enjoy it. Would like more classes like the fitness for life
I feel very comfortable working out at the Y.
All the class options. The women’s locker room updates are great!

The amenities, people, community, and staff. This is the best branch. I have had memberships at other gyms as well and the David D. Hunting YMCA is better than the other gyms I joined in the past as well.
