What Our Members Are Saying:

"The David D. Hunting YMCA might be the nicest gym I have ever been to...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. And if the space itself wasn't incredible enough, the staff make it even better...it's truly a highlight of my day to be at the David D. Hunting YMCA."
"Clean and safe! Staff very personable and professional. Especially appreciate the very hard work the maintenance and cleaning staff do every day to make this facility shine! They are the most impactful and important people at the YMCA!"
"It's a great place to have a great workout and stay healthy all year long.. l thank the cost is fair and affordable. It's a great place to meet others and share new ideas and set new goals and accomplish ways to stay fit. Thank you for all you do for us."
"The YMCA is a warm welcoming place. All of the Y employees are WONDERFUL from the Front Desk up to the Fitness Center. They make the place run smoothly and seemingly effortlessly."
"The GROUP FITNESS CLASSES!!!!!!! There is a variety to meet the needs of the fit as well as the less fit! The young and healthy as well as the mature and healthy and those struggling with disabilities due to aging or chronic conditions."
"I love the people that work there and it is a wonderful opportunity to exercise and swim. In addition you meet lots of new & fun people."
"I absolutely love the ladies in the DDH kidzone! They are so sweet with my boys and make it so easy to leave them in trusted hands so I can work out. It means so much to me how much they truly care about my boys & I know they are so well loved and taken care of while I have some time to myself."
"I love the remodel and added equipment. I love the central location. I LOVE all the natural light from the windows and the great views from the 2nd floor."
"I'm a student at GV and love that we have access to the YMCA. I love the power yoga, yoga, and pilates classes. Interacting with other folks in the classes and getting off of campus is so good for me. Working out is a great stress reliever and having a downtown location instead of driving to Allendale is so nice! I consider working out essential to my academic success, and the YMCA has been able to fully support this this semester :)"
"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."
