Member Testimonials
The group fitness classes. The great instructors.
It's a wonderful place...the staff are kind and knowledgeable, it's very clean and there's many exercising opportunities for all. I recently moved but continue to go there.
I always feel welcome
Really enjoying the group classes
There is something for everyone of every age, so many ways to serve and connect with others and reach out into the community. The Y has been a second home to me for the past 22 years. I am healthy and strong through exercise, enjoying new friendships and life long friendships and I am enjoying the opportunities that I have been given to volunteer over the years. Thank you Mel Korum YMCA .
Everyone has been so kind! Clean !! We love it!
I have been going to the Y for 25 yrs. I am also a water aerobics instructor at the Y. I love the comrodery and classes. I am 72 and plan to keep moving. Y is my second home.
The staff are very helpful and friendly. Lots of good programs for youth and adults. Wish there were more 55 plus social and spiritual activities or for any age singles activities.
I like having muscle up classes, step aerobice classes and complete conditioning classes at 9:30am.
The inside track and friendly staff.

Staff, good and clean environment
I go there all the time. The facilities are clean and the equipment is well maintained. The employees are very friendly and easy to talk to. They respond very quickly to any issue that may arise. I have also made many friends. It is like my home away from home.
Mel Korum YMCA is a wonderful facility with a kind and helpful staff.
It has a beautiful inside track (6 laps= a mile) surrounded by windows to the outside!
A wonderful way to get your run when it rains. It also has an indoor pool for laps and a children's pool. (As well as a hot tub, if you need to relax your muscles after that work out)
They also offer exercise classes some with fees (and well worth it) and there is always staff at the desk to help answer questions or assist as needed.
I highly recommend Mel Korum YMCA

Friendly staff and people working out
I appreciate the quality and commitment of our class instructors. It’s a great place to catch up with friends and get a great workout at the same time win/win! Thanke.
Great facility.
Love the chair yoga classes.
Appreciate the NuStep machines that are easier on the knees and still provide a good workout.
Employees are friendly. Other members are upbeat.
Good atmosphere. Welcoming.
Love the water aerobics program and the instructors- folks at the front desk are friendly. I love the senior citizen programs Mallory has put together. What a tremendous opportunity for me to make connections with other folks! Beth McCormick
Pool, hot tub, locker rooms, cleanliness of facility and equipment, variety and quantity of equipment, variety of users, friendliness of staff.
I DON'T LIKE THE LACK OF RULES OR ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE RULES. Specifically the abuse of equipment by dropping and slamming weight down, free weights and machines, runners in the walking lane!
The facility is always clean and the staff is friendly and helpful all the time I’ve been coming here for about a year and a half now I really enjoy the facility. The only thing I would suggest is getting more weights for the pool use as during the water aerobics classes have gotten so much larger not everybody has access to a pair. Also a sidenote Diane and the other instructor I don’t know her name. The blonde woman are amazing at giving classes and keeping everything upbeat.
Flexibility, availability, and friendliness.

I exercise every day at the Korum Y. It has to be the friendliest Y in Washington.
