I would definitely recommend the Tacoma Center YMCA to friends and family. The facility is clean and easy to navigate. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Also, shout out to Amanda for her motivating instruction and genuine kindness. I feel like I am part of a real community when I come to this location, and there’s nothing more I could really ask for.

Friendly and helpful
My friends -- both members and staff -- are here. It's a great place to play and stay young.
I like that this YMCA isn’t too busy and has most of the machines and equipment that I need.
The staff is amazing and super helpful. The vibe at the YMCA is so much better than the vibe at any other gym. There’s a strong sense of community. Also, I have a caregiver because I’ve had some unfortunate health issues that started to arise in 2018, and the fact that my caregiver gets to work out with me is such a huge gift for both of us.
