Services and friendly staff
The staff is very compassionate about getting the youth involved and evolved. I love the willingness and dedication.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful!
My daughter took a basketball class and the experience was really great. The coach was wonderful and signing up was quick and easy. We will definitely be signing up for more
Everyone is so friendly, staff and community alike. Easy going. Community minded. Great number of group exercise classes to choose from to fit my schedule. I came here after being at another gym for a long time and I love it here!
I love that there are so many classes to choose from every day!
I am still struggling with the parking and had to pay 28 bucks to get out of the lot, even though the gate opened for me automatically on the way in, so I did jot grab a ticket and had to claim lost ticket, as the cars lined up behind me … I am now grabbing a ticket every time and having it validated:)
Size, options, location, staff.
Some of the weight areas could be cleaned more frequently to remove dust.
Best Y we have been to. Spacious, not overcrowded. Water park is amazing. Extra saunas and hot tubs are awesome. Hours are not great with they were open 24/7
Friendly, dedicated, overall great coach experiences! Our son learns so much and gets way more experience from ymca than our rec school teams.
I like how big it is and I truly enjoy the pool and hottubs.
The new locker rooms are excellent. It's not so crowded and the people are helpful.
I like the diversity of members and the dedicated instructors. The parking and construction has been bothersome.
Very friendly and helpful staff
Foremost - the diversity of the members, the staff. The entire air of the place inspires me. I'm a white guy, age 59, and I love diversity & its challenge to call me to embrace all people in greater ways. The David D. Hunting IS one of the top places in our city where this happens, perhaps the top
The guys locker room is filled with people who I implicitly appreciate. I love the new locker room EXCEPT... It needs more benches. The steam room is lacking any way to make it hot given that the hose is now gone... It's a low grade 'barely' stream. I wish towels were available EVEN if it required a $1 fee each time. I wanted one for an underhoused guy a week ago. I would have paid $5 for a towel... I gave him mine, but that doesn't get him a clean one next time.
Group fitness classes are a blast. The people are friendly and make the classes fun.
Friendly helpful staff. I really appreciate the pool maintenance and attention to keeping temperatures (both water and room) at comfortable levels.
I AM OLDMEMBER I like all service everyone isfreindly and supportive i enjoy the service
It's a quiet, welcoming environment that's non judgemental.
Great Men's Locker Room! Nice layout of exercise equipment on third floor. 5 stairsteppers. Diversity of members
Free parking
I love Rodney at the front desk. I love the evening instructors. I love that more classes are being added.
The interior of the y is coming along nicely. The only negative thing I can think of right now is that sometimes the studio floors are slippery and dirty.
They made the parking situation easy with construction challenges. The diversity of members is enjoyable.
I thought about a lesser number as the track is not monitored- just that some youth do not respect the rules of sharing, and complicate the busyness by hanging out in lanes doing other than walking or running.
I like that improvements are constantly being made to the facilities and that the space is always clean. Other patrons seem respectful of one another and the gym is easy to access.
I am disappointed that free membership is only available to full-time GVSU students. I am a part-time masters student and will be paying the same tuition as a full-time student, if not more considering tuition costs rise each year. i live in Eastown and take classes at the downtown Grand Valley campus so I do not have access to fitness facilities in Allendale. I wish this benefit was available to all who pay tuition to GVSU.
Very clean. Tons of machines. Beautiful pool. Love the walking track
Very nice place to enjoy exercise and the employees are most helpful.
