Member Testimonials
Pool. Everything
They are friendly
Ms.Erin was kind and helpful and made are first swim lessons very enjoyable
I love the location and Rodney at the front desk is amazing! The views from the workout floor are incredible and I appreciate the classes that are offered.
The sauna and great people!
The place is looking great- third floor rehab. Very welcoming and non- judgmental environment. Lots of equipment- no wait. Variety of clients- lots of energy. Been a member since 2008.
Love the staff and facilities!
Used to work at this location many years ago and it has only gotten better
Exceptional facilities, very clean and equipment all well maintained.
The staff is really great and always responsive to members needs or requests.
My husband and I appreciated the diversity represented at the David D. Hunting YMCA.
The facility has everything we need, especially an excellent senior, "fit for life" program and pool facilities.
We appreciate the mission of the Y and the needs it meets within the GR Community.
Appreciate attention to facility cleanliness; staff is responsive when something is brought to their attention.
I like the steam room and hot tub
Thank you Sheila and Christine for a wonderful parent/child session.
Facilites are clean, safe and staff is very helpful. Program delivers exactly what I expected. Will enroll again in a couple months.
The indoor track with an outdoor view
The Masters swim workouts are great fofall ages of adults whether you are a completive swimmer or just want a good workout in the the pool. On deck coach Art is tremendous in helping improve our strokes. Plus the comradery is fun.
Lap pool and family pool
Looks better now they remodeled
Racquetball courts
Good facilities and staff. Always clean
Great atmosphere and variety of activities. I do yoga while my kids play basketball and we all enjoy swimming. Generally the hours are also really good.
The people.
My family has maintained a membership for more than a decade. Even when I'm not in a regular fitness routine, I've never considered dropping our Y membership. When our children were younger, we'd take them to the kid zone almost every day, and the people there were like family to us. And every kid in Grand Rapids loves Mr. Rodney. Walking in and seeing these people gives me joy every time I visit, and it keeps me coming back.
I appreciate the efforts lately to spruce up the third floor. It looks nice. Maybe it will look impressive on the tours for new members. But, to be honest, I don't care what it looks like upstairs, and I don't care a whole lot what equipment is there. If you want to keep members like me happy, keep investing in your people - especially the people on the first floor! Give them all the raises you possibly can. They're the reason our family is a Y family, and why we'll never leave.
everything
I love the community feel, the amenities and the view is great. good hoops runs, nothing to complain about at all.
Community and lots of different types of equipment.
Third floor renovations are a definite 'facelift'. Well done.
- Please rehang clocks on the third floor soon.
- The Lateral Lift machine has been missing one of its two hand grips for weeks. Please replace.
- Men's steam room lights are too bright. Men's sauna light is off or burned out.
- I hope handicap and senior citizen parking will survive the soccer stadium construction. It's a much longer walk from the parking garage to the entrance.
- Our dues have increased significantly with fewer services (e.g., no towels since 2020). Now there is a charge for credit card or check payment processing. Is there a committee that includes members evaluating ways to control or reduce costs?
Everything
Cycling classes. Jess and Christine are excellent Id also be disappointed if Rodney ever stopped working at the front desk. He is so thoughtful to everyone entering the building
Love the classes offered. Fit for life with Barbara and Cindi are great. Different styles but both give us a good workout.
The Y has people with whom I like to hang out. They keep me accountable and I keep my friends accountable. What more do we need?
I like the later hours to work out, steam and sauna
group fitness classes.
plenty of equipment
