Member Testimonials
Caring community experience with each visit.
Love the new hydro and cryo chairs. Would also like to see red light therapy - and co-ed sauna like Silverdale.
Would also like to see equipment like Osteostrong in Mercer Island. So many people have osteoporosis - this equipment would be a natural way to improve.
And finally please add more muscle up classes and more weights. We are always searching for more!
11PM swim class instructor did not show up due to family emergency. A classmate named Lindsey did an outstanding job filing in for her. She is a regular attendee, but I thought deserved a pat on the back from YMCA staff too!
Please don't do away with the Friday morning 9:30AM-10:30 AM chair yoga class with Casiana.
I appreciate that although it is a large facility, individually I never feel rushed or crowded. There is plenty of equipment and it is maintained in good repair. The genreral cleanliness is excellent and members are generllly conscious of wiping down the equipment after its use. Locker rooms are ample. I only wish we could go back to the days of Y towels.
Friendly staff, lots of different options of classes and exercise options. The location is relatively close to home as well.
Group exercise classes.
Friendly and helpful staff.
Nice environment
Great facilities and equipment.
What really shines are the people- class instructors and staff
Friendly and clean.
The people who work there are amazing. So helpful and kind.
It's a friendly place. I love seeing so many people, of all ages, engaged in activities to increase their health. I appreciate its cleanliness. I don't have grandchildren in the area, so seeing all the children is heartwarming too. I appreciate the Y's effort to expand offerings, especially to kids, and to offer those programs through scholarships. What I do not appreciate is the continual expansion of membership. It's already too crowded.
The new weight toom
Really appreciate upgrades and programs friendly to families and seniors.
I love everything about the Tom Taylor Family YMCA! The facilities are bright, clean, open, well-maintained, with a wide range of equipment. They have a full schedule of classes for every age group. The staff is friendly, helpful and make me feel welcome. It's the best YMCA I've ever been to. I highly recommend it for anyone in the Gig Harbor/Tacoma area!
My wife, Rose, and I have not been back to the Y in quite a while because of Covid, Family Events, Work, Music, property maintenance and a few other things. But, for the New Year, we decided to return on a regular basis. We were pleasantly surprised at the updating and new equipment in the facility, when we walked in.

I think the YMCA is a great experience for the money. I recommend people all of the time. Adding a few more massage chairs would be good, as I am paying extra, but generally theres a lengthy wait for the 2 that are available.
Friendly staff that greets you warmly when you arrive. They are open to questions on equipment usage. The variety and amount of equipment is great. We need to try out the pool.
My teachers:
Casiana is my favorite Zumba and weights enhance fitness. I love Tai-chi with Angela and Darryl. TRX with Karen.
Please supply a few inversion tables.
Availability of equipment. Many choices of exercises. Friendly and help staff.
Respect and responsibility are expectation while using the facility. It is a safe environment for all. It is mostly always clean. And people are mostly friendly.
The friendly greetings upon arrival.
The always clean facility and equipment.
The friendly greetings when I leave!
The facility is always maintained, but finding parking is sometimes difficult.
Friendly. Clean. Well equipped. Close by.
Love the pool and open lap swim times. Good classes, helpful staff. A special "thank you" to the ladies afternoon locker room staff who cut off a non-working lock so I could get into my clothes. All the instructors have been friendly and helpful. Great front desk staff, also. Nice indoor track.
Generally clean and friendly staff.
I have been very pleased with my experience with the YMCA. I was disappointed when you added the new machines upstairs for "a trial Period", with members paying extra if they wanted to subscribe. This is a move outside what the YMCA has typically done.
In comparison to other Y's the way the machines are organized with all strength equipment on one floor and all cardio on another. The design and analysis done during this process was very well managed.
The staff is very courteous, friendly and helpful and the instructors are excellent.
The Y is usually very clean, however just yesterday I noticed all the bases for signs were very dirty and dusty.
Love the welcoming spirit and the wonderful atmosphere!!!
It has such a great family homey feel. It’s great that u can find little nooks to do a solo-ish workout if u want. Love the sauna
The equipment is clean and well maintained with lots of availability. The staff is friendly and helpful.
