Member Testimonials
Early morning hours for exercise. Not crowded.
Friendly staff for the most part. Clean- janitorial staff do a great job!
The classes are very good, especially the RIPPED and the ZUMBA classes. The RIPPED instructors, especially Heidi and Genean, are excellent. The Zumba instructor, Angela, is absolutely fabulous - she really puts a lot of work into preparing and leading the class, which is greatly appreciated. And, it's so FUN. Her classes are very well-attended. The Y should do everything it can to keep her, she is so good.
I appreciate it when the women's restrooms are clean. Sometimes they are not and the bathroom, specifically in the 2nd floor, smell of urine. I can imagine what the men's bathroom smells like.
What I don't like is, the communication could improve greatly. For example, improve communication of schedules for gym hours, holidays and shortened hours, class schedules and schedule/instructor changes, programming changes and changes affecting class schedules and locations.
Clean, good assistance when needed, appropriate hours of operation, and a clean and nice hot pool!
We’ve just started but so far we like all the pool. Excited to try some group classes and will also learn some of the weight machines. Also looking forward to the track; we like to walk and with winter coming the track will be nice
The 6 lane lap pool
Good location, easy parking, friendly helpful staff, great equipment (something for everyone), knowledgeable trainers and a great walking track!
Great facility and great employees.
It’s clean and the employees are extremely friendly. I have noticed the saddles in the spin class need to be replaced. Out of approximately 30 bikes 15 seats are ripped or torn and that makes for a very uncomfortable ride. Thank you
Facilities are always clean, people are friendly and professional.
This is a wonderful YMCA and I am very grateful it is part of our community. Clean, great pool area, great gym, rock climbing wall, etc.
Great exercising environment. Relaxing lounge areas and a great senior center on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Staff has been very courteous and polite. Any questions or concerns and they are very helpful in their responses.
Ability to choose a solo workout diving in with ear buds to a personal experience or a group class making new friends and struggling or succeeding to finish. And of course anything in between with a personal training session going on next to you or a birthday party for a child. Its a wonderful safe community to grow into your future self.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the non-friendly ones usually don't stick around.
I love the remodel and how clean it is. Your employee Stanley is absolutely phenomenal about keeping it clean with his thoroughness. Keeping the Y clean might seem like nothing but some Y's I've been to (Puyallup) are really dusty in the corners.
The pool is generally open and is great for lap swimming. However, sometimes during swim lesson time there's not enough lap swim lanes.
The weight room is fairly open and inviting. I love all the natural light and windows.
The operating hours are much better than they once were. I especially like that you're open late on Fridays too.
One thing I would like improved is to have more "Cell Phone Use Prohibited" signs posted in the men's locker room. The only sign I see are by the entrance and bathroom stalls, but not in the actual changing areas. I regularly have to dress quickly because somebody is on their phone while I'm trying to change. I have had to tell some people to get off their phone or to go to the changing booths, but I'd definitely prefer staff correct members.
The same goes for parents of young children who insist on using the 15-and-over men's locker room section instead of the boys' or family locker areas.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with my experiences at the Silverdale Y. It's just these couple of things that need fine tuning.
Keep up the great work!
Great facility, classes, experienced, fun instructors. Friendly atmosphere.
Nice facility!
I enjoy getting to know members of my community while working out in classes together. The instructors are knowledgeable, welcoming and a lot of fun. The facility has something for everyone on every level of their fitness journey.
It is clean and everyone working there seems very friendly
Friendly, helpful staff, many options for working out, machines, classes, pool, trainers.
I enjoy coming to this YMCA, because of its evening yoga classes.
This is a clean welcoming place for our community.
They host so many classes its amazing. I just wish I had the time to do them all.
Keep up the good work and know you are appreciated
Everyone is so kind when I come in to work out. The machines are clean and there's tons of information available about classes and community events.

I like the updated equipment and the fitness classes like ringside boxing with Malo and Heidi
Facility is well maintained, and staff is responsive to fix machines that are not working. Staff is friendly and encouraging.
Always clean. Friendly employees. Lots of scheduled activities to choose from all day long. Great pool for lap swimming, water aerobics, and family fun with good size adjoining hot tub, steam room and sauna. Exercise equipment and an indoor track are always available for use.
Please ask Veronica not to wear her political hats in the pool during Theresa’s aerobic exercise class. She alternates with Make America Great Again and Trump.
She talks very loudly at times politics. It’s just not the appropriate place and I have heard others complain. Someone I was encouraging to join with her family visited and asked me about the above situation. I said freedom of speech but I agree there should be places where people can just enjoy activities without politics.
Friendly staff and not crowded early in the morning. I would like the gym cardio classes to be earlier in the morning. I won't wait around for a 10:00 class.
I like the variety of classes that are available for people of all ages however I would like to see more classes geared for seniors. I like the staff they’re very nice and welcoming.
It’s clean quiet and friendly staff
The access to the swimming pool is very easy to get into and out of, whereas the other Y's in my area requires ladders to exit, which I'm unable to do.
