REALLY LOVE IT , I'M VERY UPSET ABOUT THE POOL SWIMMING SUITE SPIINERS , TACOMA HAS THEM, LAKEWOOD, ON AND ON, ITS A PAIN TO HAVE TO RING MY STUFF OUT, PUT THEM BACK AND RAISE THEM UP 1 OR 2 FEET SO GOOFY KIDS CAN'T BREAK THEM.
I primarily play pickleball and use the exercise machines. However, I also see many of the neat activities that abound for all age groups.
I love this facility. The staff is friendly, it's clean and bright, the variety of classes offered is perfect, and the instructors (Kim McLeod especially) are knowledgable, energetic, and fun to be in class with!
The class schedules online don’t make what’s posted for the multi purpose room.
It's a wonderful place to make new friends and meet new people. The instructors are awesome and very knowledgeable and there are lots of diverse fun classes to choose from! Best decision I ever made!
The variety of classes offered and it is close to home.
The senior group classes that I take are really good. The instructors are perfect and I have met a lot of very nice people.
The facility is well maintained, staff are friendly and helpful, and it's large enough to accommodate a lot of people without feeling crowded most of the time.
Great facility. Always clean. Friendly staff. Large variety and availability of equipment, classes and programming.
Friendly, motivated staff
The friendly staff and all the programs available.
The pool is my absolute favorite so far. I am excited to use the other equipment and classes.
The variety of activities for all ages, the gym equipment is great, (although some stationary bikes in the classrooms need care), and it feels family oriented and it’s a great place to meet people.
They care about the community!
Very clean. Plenty of free weight stations. Variety of group activities.
Fantastic facility!!
Gym is very clean and organized. The building is newer and has lots of light coming through the windows. The gym goers are really good people and the staff is also friendly.
The family dressing rooms for the pool are excellent. My girlfriend is in a wheelchair and the shower and dressing areas are easy to access. Lots of places ARE NOT.

The facility is truly wonderful—everything you could hope for. Additionally, the services that the Gordon YMCA offers to the community, including disadvantaged kids and seniors, are heartwarming. I also appreciate the staff. The Gordon YMCA is one of my favorite places to be!
Everyone is so positive! Gordon YMCA is the place to be!
Patients is needed along with flexibility when choosing equipment that's not in use. Be flexible in your routine and you'll have no problems. The staff is courteous and helpful, you just need to not be afraid to ask. I've had two knee replacements and am back strengthening my leg and knee muscles.
Thank you Gordon YMCA
