YMCA

Well I suppose after that pizza post I better tell you all about where I burn all those calories off. There are plenty of great gyms in the city of Grand Rapids, but the David D Huntington YMCA on the NW side of GR ( right off US 131- Pearl St exit) is probably one of the nicest and my favorite. You can find ALL of the info by clicking on this link YMCA of greater Grand Rapids. But here are some of the amenities:

• 2 Pools: lap pool and pool with slide and lazy river
• Whirlpools, sauna and steam rooms in both men and women's locker rooms, plus another whirlpool next to the lazy river
• 2 workout studios where classes such as, ballet, yoga, zumba, cardio strength ( shout out to the well loved instructor Mary L who will kick your butt in any of her classes), kick boxing, pilates etc
• Spin studio, where multiple classes are held each day...my suggestion would be to hit up one of Jeff B's classes for a killer workout and probably a good laugh
• Large 3rd floor fitness area including a climbing wall, 7 lap/mile track, 4 basketball courts, racquetball courts, and all the machines and free weights you could want
• Child care!! Not that I can use this yet, but I've heard the staff is great! 

This is not only a great gym and place to get that body you want, but it has a culture of community and is a good place to get connected to others.
