Excellent staff and environment.
It's a great place to workout, staff friendly and place is always clean. Only issue is that some members sit on machines on their phones, while others would like to use them. Not sure how to address this, but it can be a bit frustrating!
Great friendlystaff and great and clean facilities. Centrally located in Gig Harbor.
The friendly staff and patrons
Excellent!
Classes and instructors are great. James's zumba class is FANTASTIC and he's an awesome instructor .
He makes everyone feel welcome and gives good instructions for newbies. Everyone misses him and can't wait til he returns.
Facilities does a great job in keeping lockers, bathrooms and equipment clean and I really appreciate them. I have been to YMCAs across the country and ours is the best!😁
Parking in the mornings are challenging.😬 very crowded so hope Sports Complex doesn't
make parking worse.
Pool is very busy and sometimes getting a lap
lane is challenging. Wish some people were
more courteous when sharing a lane and not
take up my side and hit me. 😒 Also if a child
has a toilet accident and the recreation side
has to close don't close lap lanes and allow the
same kids to play in the lap lanes and take up
space.
Other than that I love the Y and feel very lucky to have such a great well taken care of facility in Gig Harbor. I have been a member since 1980 (started at Morgan Family) when my husband gave me a YMCA membership and enrolled me in a fitness class for my wedding present!🤣 Looking back now it was a lifetime gift where I have met wonderful people and made lifetime friends. Some I still work out with and we're in our 70's.
The staff is always helpful and friendly and the facility is always clean and inviting. The members at this location are really super and friendly also. Only complaint is the men’s steam and sauna are just too small but not much can be done about that and hopefully with the new facility next door parking at peak times will improve with additional spaces that employees can park further out leaving spaces for members.
Lots of classes and activities, clean and modern facilities.
I really enjoyed the kickstart under the guidance of Dean. He did an excellent job, a very personable fellow and a big proponent of y m.C a.... So i've been coming up on my own, but just starting the process....
Friendly reception, quality machines and other resources. The environment feels safe and supportive of health and wellness physically, mentally and spiritually.
Love the Y! Also, love the instructor, Holly Kennedy. She is teaching me how to properly swing Kettlebells and they are so fun! I have a request - can the Y purchase more kettlebells - so that there are enough for those who workout on the green grass on the first floor, as well as for those who utilize the kettlebells on the "tower"?
Water aerobics. The best instructor is Marty. She consistently teaches a great workout that makes me feel healthier.
It's close to my house. It's modern and not too big. Great classes and great instructors.
Variety of activities for all ages
It is a very friendly atmosphere! The facility is clean and the people who work there are friendly and helpful!
Great equipment, friendly staff and good wholesome environment.
Classes offered, instructors.
Friendly & helpful staff. Cleanliness of facility.
The y appears to be working through their issues. When brought to their attention they have responded better. Things that have changed the music isn’t as loud. Guards aren’t on their phones. Water is cleaner
Busy and expensive. But it has a fair amount of potential amenities.
Love the community connection and how friendly the staff and members are. I mainly Use the facility for the gym and barre classes and feel comfortable in both settings. I live That they have classes and equipment for all ages as well.
All the facility has to offer
friendly staff.
good instructors
great variety of exercise opportunities!!

I like the whole experience! It’s a well run gym with great facilities, friendly employees, and an indoor walking track. It’s easy to get to and easy to check-in. There are programs for just about anything you might want to do, from chair yoga to racketball to swimming to a rock climbing wall! There are programs for tots all the way up to seniors. Oh, don’t forget basketball and racket ball. It has everything!
