Member Testimonials
I love the sense of community at downtown Y!!
I love this gym
The class instructors are fantastic, the people are great, and the facility is best in class. However I am concerned that the upcoming change in parking will dramatically change my overall experience at this facility.
Please do not share my name.
Buena disponibilidad para todas las personas de este lugar
We love the Y and all that it offers! We are hoping that it will open earlier on Sundays.
Great place to workout, great staff, enjoy my time when I go
It’s a good YMCA as I’ve been going here for several years. Very nice staff, good sized pools and the hours are the best in the Grand Rapids area.
The employees are very friendly, the facility is well kept and their is enough equipment for everyone to use.
I like using the pool with my daughter and YMCA date nights
Classes, particularly Northerns Friday night class. The piano on the first floor that some people play
Best kids zone out of all the YMCA’s staff is friendly and personable!! Also this is the best gym atmosphere very diverse. Good energy all around! Highly recommend this gym if you’re serious about getting a good workout in.

I LOVE DDHunting YMCA!! The weight lifting area has a huge variety of machines and weights. I also love the swimming pools. I appreciate that there are two pools: one pool for playing games and splashing around and another dedicated to lap swimming. This YMCA is both kid friendly and great for serious workouts. The staff are friendly, helpful, and really well trained. I've been present when another member experienced a medical emergency; the staff responded quickly and knew exactly what to do.
Classes, walking track, variety of pick up games in the gym. Pool area.
I miss the music played in gym & track area.
Diversity with so many different religions, beliefs and ethnicities.
All united with one common cause = " wellness."
Very unusual for such a large diverse population to agree on "one topic."
Very encouraging to experience. :)

Great people at the Y. Excellent classes with motivated instructors who help you out. Hope the Y continues to have convenient parking. Some are worried the proposed soccer stadium will displace our parking.
First and foremost, the staff at the David D. Hunting is wonderful and so professional.
The greeter, card checker, Rodney, is the heart of kindness and hospitality!! The questions he posts on the white board behind the desk are fun and he always shares the answers (When asked) with a smile.
The facility is great as are the class offerings (eg. Fit for Life, kids swim classes and so on)
My husband and I love the convenience of the downtown location as we downsized to an urban condo.
The Y is kept in pretty decent condition which makes it feel well maintained.
My husband and I appreciate the diversity and Y mission.
The new sauna and steam room upgrades are great. I love the heat, don’t turn it down
Diversity, friendly and helpful staff, facility and equipment.
Only instructor I've had is Jen J for BP Mon and wed. She's great. I use track on Friday
They have a piano! (getting it tuned would be cool, I can help do that if you’d like :)
They give each student a thorough evaluation and then place them based on their needs. Very professional and friendly toward the children.
10/10 would recommend.
