Amanda does a good job teaching HIIT class, she is friendly and engaging,
Would like a large fan in the gym for HIIT class
friendly, helpful people
I like the ability to walk upstairs do free weights and machines for my body and steam room is awesome
I love Amandas HIIT class, but please put fans in the gym and get more 12lbs weights
I love Amanda and Jennifer- they work really hard to welcome and encourage everyone, but we really need a fan as it gets to hot in the gym
I love the HIIT class taught by Amanda would love to get more 12lbs weights
Amanda's group ex class has great workout and routines
I enjoy the pool and the Masters Swim Team along with the availability of lap swimming lanes. Most ymcas have a tremendous amount of classes that limit fitness center pool access and availability. I know my kids enjoy their lessons at the Lakewood ymca however it’s nice to have the masters swim along with lap pool availability. Great job keeping a clean environment keep up the good work team!!

The cleanliness of the facility. Friendliness of the front desk staff.
Honestly, it’s the staff. Everyone is so welcoming and positive. Y’all have a great team there! The modern equipment and clean facilities really make a difference. Plus the salt water pool is the main reason I’m there. Keep up the great work!
Great staff and facilities!
I like the loyalty and and the kindness and devoted teachers that they have. I like that atmosphere. And I love water aerobics. And I like the knowledge that the teachers study to find us the best workout plan they can give us
I love how every employee wants to be there. They always are friendly and helpful. They truly care about the experience of the member coming in.
Clean pool, friendly staff, and great vibes! What more could you ask for?
Been a member since the day that it opened. It is my go to place to exercise because of the staff and the exercise classes provided especially the AM abs class and the Friday morning class taught by Barb McMann.
I do have an issue with the change of the 6;30 am exercise class taught in the big gym on Monday and Wednesday. For years and years it was a fast paced aerobic and strength class taught by Y staff. But now it a slow paced station class that are the same exercises every day just a different order of the routine. Sorry to say but, the life has been taken out of that class.

Thanks for reaching out. The truth is that I don’t know how the 5-rating happened. I intended to give a 10 but screwed something up. And then I tried to figure out how to change it, but nothing worked. I have always been very pleased with the Y and I’m happy to have you record me as a 10 on every aspect of the operations at all three of the Ys I’ve used. My apologies for the mixup. If you get a chance give my best to Charlie. Thanks.
Kool place to be.
Hunter's quick and thorough response reflects the core values of the Y. I sense your team's firm commitment to serving the community in a way that uplifts us all.
The young folks have been through a lot as we all have. Kind patience and guidance will go a long way in helping them.
A greeting or a goodbye is a small thing. But small things are impactful, so thank you for taking my criticism seriously. Like you, I want the Y to remain a place of welcome. No worries, it's a 10 for me now! 😄

Main items I use are the pool, weight room and end of day fitness classes. You folks do a wonderful job
Good staff, nice environment
I more often go to Morgan, but the smaller Tacoma center Y has good exercise options.
The steam room is always clean.
The staff is so kind and cool. The facilities are clean. There's so much to do 9classes, equipment, events, amenities.
No kids and classes for seniors.
I have 2/3s of a lung and the pool, sauna and jacuzzi sure help my breathing. Soon, I will try working out some.
Very polite staff. Clean facility. Good equipment. Lots of classes to choose from.

Jenna is so good and thorough explaining the weights
