Member Testimonials
The amenities
The Tom Taylor YMCA is a genuine community. I have been delighted to find not only opportunities for exercise but also opportunities to grow artistically and to make new friends. A special shout out to Regina Sadono for her exceptional guidance and advice via the Friday a.m. Creative Writing class. I just completed my first 5 week session and am excited to return for more.
I wish the Y would have a class for sign language- for kids and adults!
The staff is wonderful!
Friendly staff, great instructors and great variety of group exercise classes.

Variety of classes
Lots of great fitness programs for all ages and enough really nice equipment laid out in a really nice way so you don't feel crowded. Staff is very knowledgeable and personable.
So glad I can afford this with the help of my health insurance. A wise investment for them - a win-win.
It is a nice, comfortable place to walk or workout at one’s own pace.
Excellent experience!
Wanted to thank Aimee at the membership/front desk for helping me a couple times with membership issues. She is fast, thorough, super friendly and helpful!
I love the community feel here - that everyone is included.
Craig has filled in this week for other instructors. He went above and beyond to cover the Friday Bootcamp class. He had to rearrange his schedule to ensure that the class was covered. This shows a dedication to the members' experience that should be celebrated and appreciated.
the quality of the instructors, the variety of classes, the resources to do my workouts and get cleaned up afterwards!
I best enjoy the wide variety of programs and exercise options available to members, especially the younger generation. Additionally, the staff is always so friendly and helpful.

Hi. I’m really enjoying Rana’s circuit class and hope to see her teach more Silver Fit classes. She makes her circuit class enjoyable and challenging and also looks out for those who cannot keep up.
Name removed Concern Report
Hello,
I am submitting an Name removed concern regarding a member at the Tom Taylor YMCA in Gig Harbor. I am reporting this in good faith out of concern for member comfort and safety.
On multiple occasions, during the typical afternoon hours of approximately 3:00–5:00 PM, I have observed a male member (name believed to be Gary Jones) engaging in behavior that has made others uncomfortable.
Observed behaviors include:
• Approaching and initiating conversations with female members, including individuals who appear to be significantly younger
• Continuing conversations in a way that has appeared prolonged or one-sided at times
• Repeatedly positioning himself near or around certain individuals while they are working out
• Appearing to observe or follow individuals around different areas of the gym on more than one occasion
While I understand that social interaction is not inappropriate on its own, the pattern and context of these interactions have appeared uncomfortable to multiple people, including myself. I have also personally observed situations where intervention or distancing felt necessary to reduce discomfort.
I am not alleging any criminal activity, but I am reporting this because the behavior has created concern among several members and may be impacting the sense of safety or comfort in the facility.
Please review this matter discreetly.
Thank you.
The climate is welcoming, energetic, helpful. The building is very clean and tidy. The staff and instructors are happy, knowledgeable.
The Gig Harbor (Tom Taylor) YMCA is clean, friendly and has knowledgeable workers. When I check in I am always met with a “good morning Ray” and a big smile.
I use the walking track, free weights and pool for my workouts. I also use the hot tub to relax after my swim. The shower room is always clean.
I would highly recommend the Tom Taylor YMCA to anyone that is looking for a place to workout.
Signing up was easy and the gals behind the desk were very friendly and helpful. Everything is cleaned and so far is great. I have only been there twice.
Sense of community - commitment.
All ages/shapes/sizes.
Parking is always the bugger boo!
The staff are nice and there are lots of options to choose from.
I really like the variety of classes offered and the people teaching them.
