The Grand Traverse Bay YMCA (West) is a very large and well-maintained facility with a great atmosphere. It offers everything for exercise, including a nice 8-lane pool, a pretty big hot tub, and a strength training area with all the equipment needed. There are tons of classes and programs, which are always very interesting, including swimming, deep water exercise, and a great tennis program especially for kids. The community life is astounding. The facility is clean and includes locker rooms with saunas and a convenient kids daycare. The staff is always extremely friendly, amazing, and helpful. Some notes mention a wish for later evening and weekend hours, and that the locker room floors could be cleaner.
This is a very nice facility with excellent workout equipment, locker rooms and sauna. It has a lap pool, basketball courts, and indoor tennis courts. It exceeds all my needs. The staff are always friendly and helpful.
