Member Testimonials
Chef Willow is great
Excellent family oriented facility with modern equipment and friendly and helpful staff.
I like the variety of exercise equipment.
Love all the YMCA’s in Kitsap and I use all of them depending on time of day, what I’m doing and who I’m meeting. Bremerton is small, friendly and has its own unique charm. You’ll find most of the amenities of the bigger YMCA’s in Bremerton too.
Neat, clean, and friendly!
Socialization for me and my toddler. I also enjoy the adult painting class. The teacher is so easygoing and I always learn something new.
Providing the space that offers many things for campers to do, and providing an environment where Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility can be experiened and taught - and safety.
Friendly counselors, secure location, indoor and outdoor fun!
Without the bremerton ymca team my family would not be able to have a feeling of security for care and a place to make roots at.
Nice facility and awesome staff
I've always loved coming to the Bremerton Y. The weight room has improved so much since I was last in! The classes are great, the pool is great, the staff are great.
Chef Willow is a fantastic chef who is infusing great fresh food with tried and true dishes. Adding fruits and vegetables where I never dreamed they would go together or even taste good. Amazing. Fun class with members who keep coming back because we are having so much fun together. I will be taking this class again in the fall when my life slows down again. 5 Stars for Chef Willow.
The staff are always friendly and great. Pool is wonderful. Overall facility and location.
Range of options and fun teachers
James is such an amazing teacher. He is so passionate, kind and patient with all the kids.
Chef Willow's class is a really cool opportunity to learn about food in a safe, supportive environment while getting to enjoy the literal fruits of your labour. As someone who's cooked all my life, I still learned a lot from her class. Her ability to corral the group and share her knowledge in an engaging and hands-on way is truly remarkable. She teaches good values and dispels common myths while being attentive to the needs of each student. Overall, a wonderful opportunity for anyone to learn and have a great time while doing so, and an invaluable community resource.
We LOVE the Bremerton Y!
Friendly staff, group classes
The staff!
I would also like to commend Jan on her professional demeanor. One example is her quick resourcefulness regarding alternative exercises and equipment uses. She's very knowledgeable with equipment usage and program availability.
The environment, the people are so very nice there, and it is not to crowded.

There is a real sense of community at the Bremerton Y.
Friendly and convenient
Great staff, great amenities, fun for me and my family.
The YMCA is a good place to work out and it is fun. Staff are the best!
We love Mr James! He did a great job making preschool ballet fun, playful and informative. We also appreciated how he helped manage the excitement and nerves for our first dance recital experience.
My daughter enjoys it. Essence is wonderful with the kids and both kind and patient!
I loved my instructor. She was encouraging, fun and gave great instruction. I learned so much and my artistic abilities really improved with her guidance. She also fostered an environment in the classroom that was supportive and kind. I’m really excited to take another class from her. I’ve signed up for a summer class. And I can’t wait to learn more and create more!

I love ❤️ how you do weekly themes along with letting them pick an additional specialty thing to do. Which the added specialty is a huge hit with my daughter. The first year she went she was 6 and it was great! Then the following year we made the mistake of going to a right at school summer program which they "said" was a weekly theme, wrong they stayed inside of a gym all summer got to go outside twice a day for 30 min each time, along with being same price as the ymca. This year we are back at the ymca for good! My daughter is 8 and havi g the best summer ever! THANK YOU for providing a fun and safe environment for all of these littles!
