Being a member of the YMCA and having access to their multiple facilities has been one of the best gyms I've ever belonged to or visited. Mel Korum is my home gym. I've worked out at all but one of the YMCA's in Pierce County. They are all pretty good. Mel Korum is an Excellent facility! The staff is fantastic! They are great at working with members on every issue, do a great job taking care of the equipment, the pools, and keeping the entire place really clean. Can't say enough about how great they are.
reasonable rates, great programs, knowledgable staff who are friendly.
Friendly, safe, no cost for senior Medicare Advantage insurance.
Staff was so courteous n polite n made me feel completely welcome n part of a big family!
Family is why I like Mel Korum YMCA. I have been going to the gym for over 10 years and my extended family continues to grow. I retired at the end of 2013 and on January 2, 2014 I wanted to get in better shape and enjoy my retirement. I had a hear attack on the pool deck and coded but Bev Eredia hit me with a difibulator and a couple of rounds of CPR. A ambulance ride to the hospital, emergency surgery to place a stent, 12 days of rehab, I was back at the Y ever since.
The Y is clean, easy to access, and the employees and members are wonderful. I've made a lot of friends, I exercise foran hour and half, but often spend another hour enjoying talking to everyone, relaxing in the sauna, steam room, or jacuzzi and often making plans for afterwords.
Great equipment, clean facilities. Friendly staff. Highly recommended by two seniors.
I like the amazing life guards!
