Member Testimonials
It's a great place to be with like minded active people
The upbeat staff. The feeling of community
I love the Y community that brings all ages and abilities together for a common purpose. Connection and health is vitally important to all humans to care for themselves and each other. Many staff know us 5am lap swimmers by name and greet us every morning with a smile opening up at 5am. I am grateful the Y provided a resource for my son growing up in programs and continues with those stepping stones now in high school as a student swim and water polo athlete. We can't wait for the next gen at the new Y opening to give even more opportunities!
Inviting, friendly, clean and inclusive.
Need more TRX straps in the upstairs Multipurpose Room 2. There are never enough for the Tues Thursday class
The staff are kind and friendly! Always liking a friendly smile when I come through door They make my day!
I've been a member at many YMCAs over the years and the Pearl Street Family YMCA is one of my favorites. I love the location, that there is a pool, the variety of equipment, and the friendly staff that work there. I would recommend the facility to anyone looking for a welcoming and comforting gym to work out in.
The community, the care and dedication of the staff.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The facility is always clean. Can hardly wait for the new building to open!
The friendly people (staff and patrons) I primarily use the pool so knowledgable teachers, various levels of classes> These have helped me through several health issues (senior member) including recovery after hip replacement and building strength and balance from another problem.

I am using only pool to lap swim. I wish the pools will be not as busy as they are.

Lisa Snyder (wife) has taught and or participated in Y classes at Pearl St since 1984. Our 2 kids grew up as Y Brats. As a PT, Lisa has watched her “students” from Univ Place Schools assist in front desk and cleaning with joy. We now bring our granddaughter to toddler gym and swim. We support the inclusive and wide programming the Y offers. Yay!
