The staff is nice and seems to be coming up to speed given this facility only opened March 3, 2025, a year behind schedule. However, this is NOT a YMCA - it is primarily an aquatics center with extremely limited Kids Zone hours and some basic gym equipment on the second floor, along with a FULL basketball court that is barely used and a laughably idiotic track that takes an unheard of 13 laps to make a mile - which means your standard 5k would take 41 laps!!! It is managed by the YMCA, which would be nice if it were not for the astronomical monthly rate that is the highest in this region of Michigan ($134/month for a whole family if you want to us all the facilities in tGR, which you will need to do to the poor design and equipment choices of this facility). This is NOT what the taxpayers of Caledonia were promised, and certainly falls incredibly short of the additional tens of millions of dollars in secondary funding that we voted on when the School system asked for an additional bond from the residents to "achieve the intended vision and full functionality" after they realized they grossly underbudgeted the first time. Apparently history repeated itself and the year-long delay and tens of millions in budget overrun still wasn't enough to even get a single, standard stationary bike. Much of the square footage is also lost to wasteful storage spaces, areas and niche equipment no one frequently uses, and locked rooms that only staff can access, including a bafflingly poorly-designed layout that causes the already-restricted track to make cuts and 45 degree turns at random, making it IMPOSSIBLE to gain any sort of meaningful speed. We have been to dozens of YMCAs in the country including over half a dozen in West Michigan and this one is so poorly designed that an investigation should be launched between Rockford Construction and the Cal School Systems to find where those extra millions sent and potentially get some of our tax dollars back. The "10% local discount" on a facility of unparalleled poor design that is already the most expensive in the region is totally unacceptable.

Absolutely beautiful inside! It’s a smaller YMCA, but it’s perfect for the location. Hopefully this is the start to many more investments like this in the community as it’s long overdue. Great to have a Cal only membership option too rather than having to pay for access to all the GR locations.

Pool is nice. Locker room floors are dangerous, NO HANDICAP DOORS going into pools. 35 SECOND SHOWERS, very limited gym equipment, FUNKY design track....and for the sake of all members who would like to enjoy a nice relaxing HOT TUB FIX THOSE JETS!!!! THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE HOT TUB IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A TUB OF HOT WATER. If I wanted that experience I would stay at home and get into my bathtub!

I was excited to see brand new YMCA only 1.2 miles from where I live, so I signed up because I really wanted to use pool and play basketball. The facility is good and the stuff is welcoming, I signed up and started going almost everyday but starting yesterday they closed lap pool from 3.30 pm to 7.00 pm and that’ll give you half hour pool time 7.00pm to 7.30 because the facility closes at 8 pm. They are going to close it everyday for Caledonia girls swimming team practices or whatever they have going on there that other members can’t use the pool. It is frustrating because I have to go to different YMCA now when I only live 1.2 miles away. I am going to see how things in other two YMCA but more than likely I will be canceling my membership. Update I cancelled my membership due to pool never available, I came on 3 occasion and couldn’t use the pool.

Another so-called “community” facility that only serves you if you pay nearly $2,000 a year. Despite being tax-funded, there are no discounted rates for Caledonia residents, which is disappointing. The fact that the school chose to partner with the YMCA instead of building its own Aquatic Center — like many other districts have done — feels like a missed opportunity to truly benefit the local community. This setup does not reflect the values or needs of the residents who helped fund it.
