Could you please get a Precor SCL 895 stair climber for the Tacoma Center YMCA? The existing stair climbers at the Tac Center Y require user intervention to switch between speeds on the HIIT option. The Matrix stair climbers at the University and Morgan Family YMCAs can switch without user intervention, and they are popular machines. However, I tried out the Precor SCL 895 at the Independence Health YMCA in Amerst NY and it does HIIT workouts extremely well. I believe that the downtown Seattle YMCA on 4th Ave also has the one of the Precor SCL 895s. Let's bring one to the Tacoma Center Y.
Thank you for fixing the steam room. The temperature in there was barely luke-warm from about mid-March to the end of April. Lately, though, it's back to a healthy, invigorating temperature. Thanks for addressing that!
Please consider returning the weights to the far side of the gym. When the main weight room is crowded which is most of the time the weights in the gym were a nice alternative. Thanks
Amanda and Melinda are great Tuesdays and Thursday nights. Wish there were better mats and more rotation
I love Amanda and Jennifer's classes. wish there could be a fan in the gym
I love the group exercise classes, but it would be nice to have a big fan in the gym and nicer/ newer hand weight's
Tacoma Center has great instructors
Appreciate the adult only environment, the shower stalls are very room and clean.
I love the classes that are offered but wish there were more class times in the evening especially on the weekends
Jenna's bootcamp class she has lots of energy and the building is also clean

More classes, more players at PB, and well organized
Good instructors, and Nice equipment
Most of the classes I've taken are great! Good experience with kids sports too
Music in weight rooms is too loud and now we cannot manually turn it down because of the plastic box over the dial. Almost everyone has their own headphones so I see no reason for the Y’s music to be blasting away. Please allow us to adjust music volume. Thx.
TC have a lot of opportunities for members and staff to build relationships between them. Also, the hospitality is amazing
The noon bootcamp class has great energy
The Tuesday and Thursday bootcamp with Jenna,
Thank you, Jenny, for seeing I was in trouble and needed help. Thank you for talking to me and assessing the situation. I have fibromyalgia and forget to take my medicine, so I got leg cramps, I guess I'm off to fill my prescription
Every area where people change or hang towels can use more hooks!
The staff and facilities are GRAND!!!
I have been going to this Y for many years. It is smaller and quieter.
The YMCA has a great variety of activities and equipment as well as friendly and supportive staff.
I love that the downtown Y is a community hub that provides and important place for neighbors to gather together and exercise, and also that offers things like the shower program and scholarship programs and gift programs.
Yoga class with Di is great and Nakashaw is great too.
Please Please Please bring back Nia! Advertise for a Nia teacher! That class is dearly missed by many.
