Member Testimonials
I have been a participant of the YMCA for years over 20 years..I don't have anything bad to say I'm very grateful for the services that I have like most things nothing is perfect, for the most part it's hard working with a community of people and to keep things as they should it's a team thing so with that being said people should learn to respect what they use clean up behind themselves and stop abusing the facility that's my concern with people...
The options for exercise; general cleanliness and good lighting in the facilities.
Sauna and steam room
I enjoy the pools mostly. The staff are usually friendly.
I appreciate the location, the friendliness of the staff, who are really helpful. I love the view around the track, and I appreciate the workout areas there too.
The staff is always so kind and welcoming as are the other members. Really appreciate having you all in my community!
The staff and the variety of equipment plus the facility and diverse members.
Great facility. Wonderful staff. Have made lots of good friends.
I like the classes and the times that the gym is open. However, I do miss the towels service. I wish we can have it back it will make it a great experience again.

I love the variety of options for my family.
The staff is incredible, knowledgeable, helpful and personable
Great place to workout
Our daughter has been in YMCA aquatics for a few years. She has thrived in these classes and progressed from no water experience to comfort and skill in the pool.
very cool place
The classes are taught by instructors who care about the people and are very energetic.
The David D. Hunting YMCA might be the nicest gym I have ever been to. Not only is the facility currently undergoing renovations -- new flooring, new wall colors, and more -- but the space it provides is like no other health and wellness space that I have visited. With three floors you get not one but TWO pools, a lobby area, two group fitness studios, a group cycling studio, child care and then an enormous fitness space complete with weights, machines, cardio equipment, track, basketball courts, racquetball courts and more. The biggest selling point for me is the breathtaking 360 view (cue Charli XCX) of downtown Grand Rapids.
And if the space itself wasn't incredible enough, the staff make it even better. From those who greet you at the membership desk to the gym floor staff who make sure everyone is safe to the cleaning staff doing an impeccable job of keeping the facility looking flawless -- it's truly a highlight of my day to be at the David D. Hunting YMCA.
Clean and welcoming facilities. Comfortable and spacious also.
I like the zumba classes and the machines availability on the third floor, I like the people who welcome members, the easiness of finding parking when I get there.
I love all of the classes they offer and the various equipment options. The staff has always been very kind and helpful.
The Y facility, associates, and members. It is a privilege to be a member here. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Nice variety of equipment. However, the squat rack and bench press areas are sometimes occupied a long time by people who do several exercises, most of which can be done elsewhere. Perhaps there could be a time limit displayed in those areas to encourage folks to spend less time there. It would be voluntary, and some might not comply, but it would make us more mindful of others needing the equipment.

Classes, badminton, fitness center and the people. I wish music was still played in the gym area.
