Good exercise programs, clean facility, friendly staff.
The friendly no judgement atmosphere. No one cares that I don't have a cute "gym outfit".
I have been at this Y branch for years now and have enjoyed taking classes and making friends. It’s almost like a second home to me as I go 4 to 5 times a week. However, I hate the new group class schedule that started September 1. I hate body pump heavy because it has effectively replaced muscle up in the gym on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I have tried the body pump class a few times now and I am unable to put enough weight on the bar to maintain good form. At my age, in the early 60s, I am unable to put the bar on my shoulders. Additionally, I am unable to keep good form on my lower back, using the bar for biceps and triceps. I feel that this class is good for people in their 20s to forties. I do take the muscle up class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and love the instructors, but the classroom is too small for the number of people taking the class. I’m also finding that the people that you were targeting for the body pump class is now in the muscle up class (those in their 20s to forties). They must not like body pump either. Tom Taylor y has made a horrible decision in investing in body pump. I’m sorry that I’m using strong language in this feedback, but I do feel very strongly that the schedule needs to change. I do know that many people feel the same way and if no change is made then you are not listening to our feedback.
I really like the classes and the newer treadmills and the abundance of different things to use to work out with! One thing I wish they had was reformer Pilates even if we paid a little bit extra! Also people sitting on the machines while they’re on their phone while you’re trying to wait for them when there’s only one or two of them sucks, I wish some of the numerous employees that work there could walk the floor and remind people of this sometimes, as well as I ask if anyone needs assistance with knowing how to work a machine. I’ve had to go to the front desk and they’ve had to find somebody that might know how to use the machine to meet me there and it takes a while. It would be nice. If maybe a trainer that’s not working at the moment can walk around and just assist people so we don’t feel insecure about trying to do it on our own and looking, embarrassed some of us aren’t that social.
I love the Gig Harbor Y. I love my classes and instructors. I have been a Y member for 13 years. I would recommend it to anyone.
Great location within Gig Harbor. The front desk staff are so friendly. Great atmosphere!
Proximity, the group exercise classes for cardio and muscle, teen programs and late nite
Friendly helpful staff, wide array of classes for everyone!! Clean, safe.
All the different pieces of equipment and classes.
All wonderful people who works there . all the classes are available to us most of all our instructors they are great !
Predictable, reliable website. Helpful staff members.
The people, the environment and the positive energy.
I like that there is a sense of community around the building. I like that it's full of children, teens, adults, and seniors - all at the same time. I like that the classes are mostly free so I can try anything. I like that ChildWatch allows parents to still exercise while having young kids. I like that there is a playground across the parking lot for after a workout to have lunch and run around for the kids.
the whole environment is very inviting and welcoming. I always feel at home.
For the most part, the Y has enough equipment and machines available without too long a wait, so I like that. The front desk is always helpful, professional, and pretty much wonderful. I don't do the classes anymore. They don't suit my fitness goals, and I think that's it. It could be cleaner.
All YMCA's are not the same. Tom Taylor is one of the nicest Y's I've worked out at. As compared to my last Y, the equipment is repaired faster, there's a wider range of equipment and the facility overall is much nicer.
Good swimming experience, great location, excellent service, very friendly staff!
Staff is warm and welcoming. Facilities are well maintained.
Great place to meet others.
the classes. the staff. it’s been a place where my son grew up and I’m so grateful for the ymca camps and kid watch !
Health Coach Ashlynn was a rockstar today! One of my clients brought his daughter who was visiting from out of town today. He asked if there was someone who could spot his daughter during her workout. I asked Ashlynn and she did a great job serving this member's daughter and even stayed late to help her finish her workout. This woman has several health concerns that make it important for her to have a spotter. I’m grateful Ashlynn served her (and my client) so well! Thank you!!
I love the Tom Taylor YMVA. I always find a parking spot. There is a wide variety of weight machines, free-weights, classes, stationary bikes. They are never broken down. The gym is spotless. I never have to wait for the bathrooms. The bathrooms are spotless. Anytime (which is very rare) I have a problem the staff are always eager to help. The hours they are open are convenient for me.
Helpful staff, good selection of equipment, lots of choices for working out.
