We love Sandi! She’s so attentive and helpful. She trained Giovanni so well and my daughter loves swimming because of them
Excellent swim teachers and learned a lot
All the fun activities and programs available to kids!
I very much support and appreciate the mission and purpose the YMCA serves in building communities around central concepts of family, health, and togetherness.
However, the swimming program at the Tom Taylor facility is severely lacking, especially when compared to the program at Silverdale Haselwood.
My son has attended level 1 preschool water acclimation at both locations and I am sad to report that we are very disappointed with the skill of the swimming instructors and the apparent lack of coordination amongst teachers at the TT location.
In one class, my son, along with all the other students sat on the edge of the pool and got into the water a total of three times in the entire class time.
In Silverdale, he is in the water the entire time and is challenged by engaged and enthusiastic instructors. The students are encouraged to try new things and stay in the water the entire time. His is improving exponentially in these classes and he enjoys them very much.
Today, at TT, his class was combined with another class, and three teachers shuffled in and out during the course of 25 minutes. Most of the time, the three instructors chatted with each other while the children sat on the edge of the pool shivering. One teacher would then take one student out at a time while the other children and instructors watched. The students looked bored and cold. One boy even got into the water and held onto the wall three times and the instructor took him out of the pool three times. This doesn’t seem to encourage a love for or a confidence in water activity.
All in all, I would not recommended parents waste their time or energy taking kids to the swim classes at TT. Especially when such better instructors who are engaged and supportive are waiting in Silverdale.
Hope Teresa returns soon. Ignite is not the same as Surge Fit.
We like that there are lots of options at the Y.
We miss Jo in the pool! Our kiddo wasn't showing any improvement until Jo spent some time with her. She was fantastic.
Many Swiss (exercise) & Bosu balls are under inflated.
Terri 9:30 Fri, excellent class (Completr conditioning on 6/7/24)
Great facilities, clean locker rooms, machines in great shape.
I am a motorcyclist and even at age 69 ride to the Y everyday, rain or shine. I can not count how many times I've come to work out and found cars parked in the MC Only area. Today was a downer in that the young man in the Body Spec Commercial Van had set up in our area blocking it from use and knocking back the MC Only sign. We riders know you don't want us parking on the sidewalk next to the building and between the parked cars. To prevent self entitles drivers from taking the MC space all you need to do is install two posts at the front of the area which will allow MC and trikes in or out but prevent cars from parking there. (Diagram drawn with one post shown in the middle of the entrance of each spot.)
Michelle is hard working and a good employee.
D-Day, June 6, 80 yrs ago, was a major event for freedom, nationally & personally. Acknowledging & commemorating it would fit YMCA Values & goals.
Incredibly responsive and caring staff!
I love the steam sauna
It is one of the nicest ymca’s I’ve ever seen. The people are amazing. I love playing pickleball with everyone. It is just a wonderful place for families and it is safe.
Very excellent water aerobics instructors. Friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Front desk greeters are always friendly. The pilates and yoga classes are also great. The classes I enjoy are at peak times and the parking lot is not large enough.
Very friendly staff and variety of activities.
The fitness classes for adults are excellent, the classes on campus and youth sports teams for my son are all very good quality, and I love connecting with the local community within the YMCA community.
The only disappointment with classes for my son is that he had no coach for the recent Spring youth soccer league. Having a consistent coach would have been helpful to encourage his participation and skills. However, Kyle eventually became a regular instructor and he was great with the kids. Kudos to Kyle!
Tom Taylor Family Y is a wonderful place to meet friends and have a positive experience for whatever your goals may be. Perhaps your goals are to improve health, become less lonely, care and share time and energies with Y members and get to feel the acceptance of individuals. I always feel happy, energized, mentally better when I am involved with the staff and members. A place to care and be cared about.
Friendly Staff
The facility is great! I'm so happy I joined.
Great facility
Walking track
Lap swim availability. Staff. Programs suitable for a wide range of ages and interests. Mission is upheld without forcing it on people.
Super friendly staff. Equipment always available. Very clean. Love the track upstairs. Plenty of lockers. Family friendly. Love it!
I love working out on various machines and walking around the track. Then, my daughter and do water walking in the pool (which I happily found out is kept at 87 degrees). After water walking, we relax in the hot tub for about 15 minutes, then the dry sauna for another 15 minutes.
Everyone that I have met that works there are friendly and helpful, the employees are always available to help if I have any questions. The facility is clean and well maintained and the atmosphere is very laid back and relaxed. I’m very happy with my family membership Tom Taylor YMCA
Everyone is so helpful and nice, I like all the instructors
And always clean
I just wanted to drop a quick note to say how nice it has been to come to the YMCA the past few months. The YMCA has been well kept and kept well. I have noticed in particular that the windows and floors are looking very good. Thanks for keeping the facility so clean and taking such good care of your members.
I just wanted to send a little shout out to Lisa who works at the front desk. I called in to chat about my membership and needed to put it on hold for a few months. She was super kind and very understanding. Helped me out in a timely manner and wished me a great summer. An absolute rockstar employee you have up there! Thank you Lisa!
Overall atmosphere--friendly, accepting of anyone regardless of level of fitness, well-maintained facility, helpful and welcoming instructors. It is a family-like community for all who want to pursue getting more active and healthy.
It’s a friendly and fun, community place to get physical! Thank you for making it safe! The experience it fabulous!
