Member Testimonials
The YMCA has changed my life. Since becoming a member one year ago, I have changed both mentally and physically, for the better! I look forward to working out every single day- it has become an essential part of my routine. Great variety of classes, and the instructors are pros, (and so fun and kind!). I've made new friends and learned new skills. In the best shape of my life at middle age :).
Fitness classes, cleanliness and wonderful friendly staff
I like the variety - weight machines, cardio equipment or the track & most of all, the Les Mills classes. I would love it if DDH was able to add a combat class to the morning schedule (before work).
Also I saw there is now drop-in pickleball. Any possibility of adding a class to learn how to play?
I like the group exercise classes. Especially the Total Body Strength during the week.
Christian, family atmosphere!!
A nice big walking track with windows. The parking spaces are too narrow!
Has a huge variety of workout possibilities for all types of athletes. Pools, treadmills , indoor track, weights (free & machines), a large choice of classes as well as nice sized locker rooms.
Love the swimming pool area and staff very helpful.
This place is sweet
It’s a great gym with the high ceilings, love it. The staff is very friendly as well. Some machines could be replaced, but I’ve heard that’s happening.
Walkable from home, the open and airy feel. The large windows that provide natural light inside. Easy parking included with membership for days that are not walkable. The group class instructors are amazing. I've been to other YMCAs, outside of GR, and they are dark, small space facilities that are not an encouraging place to work out. Our downtown Y is an amazing, modern facility that makes you want to keep coming back!
All of the equipment and childcare. It’s always clean and the staff are warm and welcoming
I love the ymca
Has every kind of equipment we need
Great place to work out
Clean, kind and courteous staff and very comfortable to work out at.
Ms. Melissa! Most of the teachers are great, but when she is close by or hands on with the kids, it is amazing to watch. We do the Saturday once a week sessions, and it is a good amount of time to learn and the right amount of hard work for our son!
Clean. A lot of activities. Great pool!

For the amount of folks going through those doors, the DDH Y staff do a superb job of handling it all and making it work day after day. I admire that...\ that's passion and dedication!!

STAFF, SAFF, STAFF, Coach's.
Racquet Ball, Outreach to community,
Great equipment, very friendly and attentive staff and clean locker rooms 🙂
The new aquatics lead literally is the only reason we are still members at the Y. Melissa genuinely cares about the program she is running and is one of the more responsive people to my concerns/questions.
Sports sampler class has been wonderful so far! Landon has been loving trying the different sports and the coaches / teachers are great with all the kiddos. I definitely will be letting others know about this class and am thankful for the Y for providing these types of classes.
Christine is an AMAZING teacher! We’ve taken swimming lessons at the Y before and some of the teachers we’ve had we’re not very experienced with kids.
Christine helped Ollie feel safe and because he felt safe, he really excelled and pushed himself and learned so much! She is so enthusiastic and is great with kids!
We signed up for two spring sessions with her :)

Friendly Staff, Nice Facilities, Good Culture. I enjoy it!
