Welcoming, friendly and has has good classes
Its fantastic. Mens Locker Room, Sauna, Steam, Work out machines all very clean!
It is just the righ size, I like no kids policy especially in the locker rooms. I mostly usse the ™, bikes, and precor knee extension.
I applaud the Y for its shower program for the unhooused.
TCY is unlike any other. A deep sense of community is apparent and touches everyone that comes through the door. I have been coming to TCY for over 10 years and I come back for the community I find there, but more importantly, the community I am inspired to build and be a part of while I am there and that includes welcoming each person and ensuring that everyone who comes to the TCY is granted a smile, a welcome, we are glad you came, we are cheering you on and I can’t wait to see you next time!
I have been a member of the Tacoma Center YMCA since the day it opened 40 years ago. What keeps me going is a list of many things starting with the welcome I receive from the staff when I walk through the door. The Y gives me a variety of options to exercise and work out so I can maintain a healthy lifestyle. It has given me the opportunity to make lifelong friendships with a variety of people who make up the city of Tacoma.
Love the Masters swim sessions. Good workout
love the pool!
Noon exercise class and staff
The classes and availability of pool and workout equipment
pool area is warm, clean, locker rooms clean,
Nothing against kids, but soooo nice to work out and get changed without
staff is amazing and friendly!
As follow up to me taking an in-depth YMCA Survey, I reiterated there that the YMCA is more than just a fitness center, it is the community's center. Mind, Body and Spirit has always been at the core of the Y values - and never has it been more important to society to embolden those values.
It has all the equipment I need. It’s fairly close to home. And it’s not very crowded during the day.
Proximity to downtown offices. Center is designed for working adults.
Friendly and not too busy. Quiet. Close parking. No parents yelling at their kids. Open swim lanes in the pool.
Staff first are friendly and helpful, then large airy workout space, the track and as I walk the track I enjoy watching basketball practice. The pool table can be fun. .
Overall very satisfied .
Aquatics. Friendly staff.
Convenient, has the equipment I need, and the people there are friendly. The only thing I have an issue with is the lack of parking at times.

I like the adults only locker on the 2nd floor. That way there aren't children running around crowding the are.
I love the variety of weight machines. There are two of each making them available most of the time depending on time of day.
I love having a pool to use for laps and classes.
I've been a member at the Tacoma Center Y for the better part of 20-25 years. I maintain my membership even though I now live outside of Tacoma and the state for a majority of the year.
I like the small size, the staff, the range of equipment and most of all the pool and spa tub.
I also like this facility limits the number and times children can use the facility.
I also respect the services being offered to the unhoused and disadvantaged in the community.
The facilities are clean, staff are friendly and its just fun to work out at the Y
Yoga classes taught by Diane and the wonderful kindness of Aquatics Manager Nathan
How many different classes you have that are included in the membership and how everyone is so helpful and friendly, at least at my YMCA at market street. I love it there!
People are great
I am disappointed to have the Pilates equipment removed. The explanation that it was in dangerous condition is hard to believe. Compared to what and by whom?
Basketball courts, boxing equipment, pool, steam room, state of the art equipment, no kids, yoga classes
Good classes, good equipment, good people!
That it's an adults only facility, that it's close-by, that it's well maintained and clean.
My sole gripe rests with patrons absorbed with heir cell phones who park themselves on the Pre-Cor machines. I wish the Y had a policy regarding courteous (restrictive?) cell phone use.
The staff is amazing and very supportive and very involved. They set the tone for the energy and the environment for however long my visits going to be. They give you a sense that they want to succeed regardless if it's your first day or you've been coming for years.
Hi,
Can you please add back the 5:30 am bootcamp classes? Or just more 5:30 am classes in general. Thanks!
