It is a great place too work out.
People , activities, everything really
Big view of downtown and track with windows
The childcare workers are consistent and friendly. There are always lanes open at the pool and I love the sauna!!
I come there because I like to exercise in the pool.
I love the downtown Y! The facility is beautiful and easy to use. One thing I've noticed is that there is signage in the women's locker room that use of electronic devices is prohibited and strictly enforced, however this does not seem to be the case, both for prohibition and enforcement.
Great deal of space and workout spaces throught facility
Lots of options to be active!
Its diversity and its awesome staff!

Everything
The YMCA is a warm welcoming place. All of the Y employees are WONDERFUL from the Front Desk up to the Fitness Center. They make the place run smoothly and seemingly effortlessly.
Everything I need in one place. One stop shop.
Lapswim time’s available in lap pool.
The GROUP FITNESS CLASSES!!!!!!! There is a variety to meet the needs of the fit as well as the less fit! The young and healthy as well as the mature and healthy and those struggling with disabilities due to aging or chronic conditions.
The generally longer evening hours than many other similar facilities
I love the people that work there and it is a wonderful opportunity to exercise and swim. In addition you meet lots of new & fun people
Love Les Mills, fitness instructors, the new upstairs, and the members. Though we are losing our parking lot-the plan for the bridge makes it better for safety and motivation on winter days.
The Y is great! I wish it was open later on the weekends. Your employees are valuable and should be paid more.
Everything! Sauna and Jacuzzi after a workout is my heaven!
I love that I lam back at the Y with my new One Pass program. I missed everything!
I am telling all my friends about the new program for us seniors. Thanks!!
I absolutely love the ladies in the DDH kidzone! They are so sweet with my boys and make it so easy to leave them in trusted hands so I can work out. It means so much to me how much they truly care about my boys & I know they are so well loved and taken care of while I have some time to myself.
The coffee!
Simply awesome
Love working out here!
I would love to have the fitness room on the second floor open when no class is going on in the lie I g so I could use that equipment. My schedule doesn’t always allow me to go to the 9am classes but I love the routines and would like to do them on my own
I enjoy all the available classes and the different areas for individual kinesthetic and free weight workouts. The group classes are lively and the instructors friendly & good at reading the room. GVSU students getting free membership was great as well.
Community investment. Family friendly
The Y is a beautiful place with its tall glass windows and sunshine that comes through them. As a participant in the water aerobics class in the smaller pool, I have been a member since, I think, 1999. However, I would like to see the water temperature a little warmer. I get chilled easily and am currently ill with a severe cold after experiencing chills after my last class in the smaller pool.
When I first joined and had to decide which pool for aerobics class, I soon found that the Olympic pool was too cold even though I was a proficient swimmer. The smaller pool was known as the arthritis pool because it was warmer for sore joints (which I have). More recently, it seems that the temperature has been lowered and is thus cooler by several degrees. Hence my chills.
I love how inclusive and accessible the Y is. There is something available for everyone regardless of their abilities or limitations.
I love the DDH YMCA but I do not like the upcoming changes especially to parking. It will discourage me from going to your location.
