Want to give a shout out to LINDA - amazing pilates instructor! Full class daily, knows our names, excellent at what she does and how she interacts.
It is a beautiful and well kept facility. The staff is friendly and helpful. I respect and like my two Tai Chi instructors Angela and Daryl. They are very knowledgeable, kind, and provide great support with moves in our class. It also feels like a safe environment.
It's well maintained and diverse in what it offers.
Friendly staff and Clean facilities.
Nothing but no organization is perfect.

From the moment you enter the building you are ALWAYS greeted with a "Hello and how are you doing today?" by the staff at the sign in desk. You are always addressed by your name. The facilities are always clean. The members also seem friendly and welcoming. From the "hello" to the "Goodbye, have a great day!" as you leave the building, your experience at this "Y" is pleasant and satisfying.
The staff, overall programming. and maintenance of facility are incredible.
The YMCA is the best thing to ever happen to Gig Harbor!
Thank you!
I am able to run inside if the weather is too cold, too hot or too wet to run outside. I like being able to use the Expresso stationary bike to vary my workout and to take some of the stress off my joints.
I like knowing that the staff (particularly the lifeguards and aquatics staff) are trained on and practice using the AED and other lifesaving techniques. I had a cardiac arrest in the parking lot and it was only through their quick and competent intervention that I am alive today.
So many options! And I like being around people who are working out. It encourages me to keep going and come back. I also like all the positive values posted on walls, banners, the white board by the front door.
Friendly staff. Bright clean facility. Lots of free weights and machines. Great classes. Plus pool and sauna.
The Gym is beautiful and it has everything I need for a good workout.
I like the helpfulness of the staff and the family friendly environment.
If I could just make a suggestion though—would love more Mommy and Me exercise classes in addition to the swim class.
Love the facility, the pools, and the events for youth activities.
I really enjoy the Aqua Aerobics
Excellent aquatic staff.
Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Lots of things going on!
Facility is convenient. Members and staff are outgoing and friendly. Variety of training categories are supported.
Maggie S., the swim instructor, went above and beyond with my 4 year old. My 4 year old is terrified of getting into the pool, and is currently in the class for babies and toddlers. Maggie used different teaching tools and techniques to help my daughter during the class. She then continued teaching my daughter after class, which was amazing! My daughter had a great amount of progression in just the one class we had with Maggie. I am utterly impressed! Maggie deserves all of the recognition! Thank you Maggie!
It’s a clean facility with all the amenities that our family needs. The staff are helpful and SO lovely.
My son is taking swim lessons currently and in Sandy’s preschool Water Movement 2 class. She is so great with the kids and knows her stuff. My son enjoys the class and feels like he is learning a lot!
We recently joined the Y this summer for swim lessons. I want to give a shout out to my son’s swim instructor, Sandy. We have attended 4 lessons this week and she has been absolutely phenomenal. She has the best energy and celebrates every achievement for every child in the water, no matter where they are at. She also connects with the parents after lessons even for a brief “they did great, and this is what we are working on” etc. I love the feedback. My son has grown tremendously in only a few short lessons, thanks to her. I would request her over and over again. She has been the best part of this entire experience by far. She is friendly and personable with families and kids and clearly loves what she does and understands how important it is. Thank you, Sandy!!!
Having activities for my kiddos. Lots of choices, conveniently in one location. The best so far has been my daughters swim teacher Miss Sandy! I cannot praise her enough! My daughter has taken swim lessons since September at the Y, her first time in a real pool. We signed up for swim lessons for the summer and have had Miss Sandy for 3 lessons now and my daughter has grown in leaps and bounds in every avenue of her swim journey. Her confidence has blossomed and she’s enjoying herself. Miss Sandy pushes the kids just enough to try something that might seem a bit scary, but she’s right there with them the whole way cheering them on. She encourages them and celebrates each one’s victories! She makes them feel proud, accomplished and challenged. All the while making it fun. You truly have a gem in Miss Sandy and hope we can continue to learn with her. Thank you Miss Sandy, you are the best!
Classes are fun with great instructors and people very friendly,
The facilities are top notch. My own use is centered on the lap pool but the entire facility is well kept and has a comprehensive lineup of gear.
Everyone is very friendly and I always have a great experience. With the second entrance / exit closed is is very difficult to get in and out.
Clean facility, friendly and helpful staff, diligent lifeguards
Like experience=Miss Sandy! My daughter has her for school age 2 & she is amazing. Delaney has grown so much in swimming in the last 4 days with Miss Sandy. She's truly remarkable & a fantastic swim teacher.
Thank you Miss Sandy for all that you do for these kiddos. Delaney absolutely loves having swim with you! Her confidence and comfort around the water has improve so much with your guiding & helping her. Than You!
Could Improve = The sign up for classes is frustrating. I now just come in on sign up day and get help from the staff.
