Member Testimonials
Great equipment, friendly staff, yoga classes
Clean, pleasant environment. Welcoming.
I normally attend the 7:30 AM total body fitness class M W F. The substitute, Crystal turned up the volume so loud for the music and when requested to turn it down she cranked up the microphone louder. Another member went to the front desk to request the volume be turned down
To men came in and went to the front and crystal turned it down very slightly. I then left the class and for the day and let the know that it was too loud again. I went home very frustrated and upset. I have been taking this clas on a regular basis for a year. I will not attend if Crystal is teaching the class.

I enjoy the positive and friendly atmosphere experience of the Tom Taylor YMCA. I have observed the staff and members to be welcoming to people of all walks of life and ages.
I think all people can find what they need whether it be a challenging physical workout, a place to exercise and/or learn something new. There is something here for everyone at all ages.
To beat "the blues" that lonely feeling, it is up to the individual to involve yourself. Go see and try the Tom Taylor YMCA and what it has to benefit you.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful!
I enjoy the cleanliness and maintenance of the facility and keeping up with recycling equipment. Love the pools, jacuzzi and sauna. This is my favorite gym of all times and I’m 68 so have seen a lot of gyms!
Wide variety of classes; friendly atmosphere, clean quality facilities, excellent welcoming options for kids
Many classes, great aquatics program, positive atmosphere with lovely people.
The overall atmosphere, and the exemplary attitudes of the staff that are a perfect example of everything The Y stands for!
I love Marty's water aerobics and Tai Chi.
My experience has always been good at the Gym. It has a very positive gym culture and staff. They cater to all ages and types. A culture of kindness. Plus they are very pro veteran. Personal trainers in the gym also ensure people dont hurt themselves as they are training others.
My wife and I have been members of the Tom Taylor “Y” for almost 10 years now and have greatly enjoyed - and benefited from - our time with you. We typically use the facility three times a week where we take advantage of the wide variety of classes in and out of the pool.
Excellent employees with wonderful, helpful attitudes!
Many activities, group or individual, which you can choose to participate.
Lots of parking.
Neat and clean throughout the facility.
A very comfortable place to get in physical and mental shape and maintain it.
A beautiful, clean facility with very friendly staff. It has almost every activity you can imagine. Stretching mats and machines. New weight machines with several of the most used ones, cardio bikes, treadmills, ellipticals and stairs. A punching bag, multiple swimming pools, wall climbing, indoor pickleball, basketball, a variety of classes and an indoor track. We like the lockers where you’re able to set your own code and don’t have to bring a lock. I was able to go for physical therapy before being a member and started going after knee surgery. Anyone can join. My wife and I are on a reduced family plan and my mother in law goes for free with her Kaiser plan. I’m a senior now but they have day care for families and always seem to have fun activities for the kids. I give it my highest recommendation.
I find exercise classes that fit my fitness level even though I'm not very athletic. I like that people of all ages and abilities gather there. I've made friends through my time at the YMCA.
I greatly appreciate the motto "You Belong Here." I love the way they include Hanukkah decorations at Christmas time and include some secular quotes on their reader board rather than exclusively Christian message. I do feel like I belong at the Y.
My only complaint is that the Boot Camp aquatics class allows people to take up space in the pool by just floating and chatting. That wouldn't happen in any other exercise class. The classes are crowded and we need room to move. I wish there was one Boot Camp class offered where you actually were expected to do the activities directed and not have to work around those who don't want to exercise. Or...maybe there needs to be a first-come first-serve system that only permits a certain number of people in the pool for Boot Camp. It's just too crowded.
Lots of class options for my kids
Staff, variety of equipment available
Friendly staff.
Variety of classes etc available. Facility itself.
Susan, at the front desk, was so kind and open with me. I enjoyed my time with her so much as rejoined the Y.
Also, the girl Susan called to take me on a tour could not have been more kind or engaging. She was so fun! (I hate to use this as the trait to remember her, but I want you to know who she is so you can recognize her kindness … She was really cute and had an accent.)
Bravo, Tom Taylor YMCA. The people who work there are much more happy & engaging than my experience several years ago. I’m really happy to be back!
How friendly and helpful all the staff are, even when they are working you out and making it enjoyable.
My partner and I came to Gig Harbor last November to explore whether it's the right town for us after retirement. We visited the Y in Gig Harbor and hoped for a brief tour of the facility. Shelly Morris toured us around the facility and explained all the programs this facility has to offer. Her tour greatly exceeded our expectations. It's no exaggeration to say it was a considerable factor in our final decision to move to Gig Harbor this year. After a few months as members, the facility hasn't disappointed, with its efficient management, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere. The Y is definitely a great asset for the Gig Harbor community! - Oliver
Warm, friendly, accessible
I love the water quality and temperature of the recreation pool. It is such a treat to exercise in such comfort and cleanliness.
The important feedbacks are: Clean equipment, excellent yoga classes, excellent air filtration system, nice seating around the upstairs fireplace, location is close to my home, friendly staff -- including instructors, greeters, etc.
The equipment in the facility could use some repair or replacements -- I use the rowing equipment upstairs. Overall I give it an "A" rating.
How friendly everyone is
The staff and members are friendly, personable, and supportive.
Love the friendly staff at the front desk. Joining was a great experience because of them.
The facility is clean, well laid out and has a ton of equipment.
Plenty of options and respectful members (who make sure to clean up after themselves)
The whole family loves that we joined.
