Member Testimonials
Wonderful
The staff and members promote a sense of family. There is a large variety of classes to appeal to many levels of participation and ability. A sense of belonging and community exists that serves to enhance a feeling of being on a journey to your best self accompanied by fellow travelers.
I like the variety of programs, and equipment. The instructots are great.
It’s close, great equipment, helpful staff.
Sense of community and array of classes
So many things! The variety of classes, the excellent equipment, friendly and helpful staff, safe, clean, and supportive environment, extracurricular classes offered, the informative 360 app, and the shear variety of ways the Tom Taylor facility can keep anyone, with all abilities, healthy!
Friendly staff clean. Classes are good for kids to adults.
Safe. It anchors the community.
The front staff are welcoming and friendly. I have only taken the tai chi classes and I appreciate Angela and Daryl's teaching style. I have learned so much.
Staff is really friendly. Place is always immaculately clean. equipment is well-maintained. I dont remember ever seeing a piece of equipment that did not work. The recent re-organization of weights equipment and machines really made it easier to do my circuit.
I am happy with the hours, the facility, and the wonderful staff!
The classes for seniors, and the great swim pools would get highest marks from me. Chair yoga classes are invaluable to seniors. I wish there were at least 3 a week, evenly spaced. Thursday to Tuesday is too long for me to not have yoga class. I’d love to see it offered daily. Big wish I know, but get one on Saturday, please.
The pools are a great resource for lessons, water aerobics, water walking, and disabled. I am so glad the pools are available. Wish the hot tub was bigger and had stronger jets. The pool in Tacoma on Pearl, now those jets are fantastic.
Keep up the good work, get more parking. That is a testament to the popularity of Tom Taylor YMCA!
One of the best "Y" experiences anywhere. I have visited YMCA's all over the country and Tom Taylor is hands down the best!!!
The facility is spectacular and the staff is very responsive. doesn't get any better.
Great facility, friendly staff and nice community of people.
All the exercise instructors are very good!
Congestion is a problem .Parking is difficult and finding lockers is a problem .
The variety of opportunities available to us and the convenient hours
Friendly staff and good equipement
The Y is like our family. We see the same members and staff nearly every time we go. The staff is awesome! I spend a lot of time in the pool and it is being well run. The lifeguards are responsive to all members. I watched one guard leap into action when a small child slid off a kick board. He moved super fast before the child had time to be afraid. The aquatics directors work hard to make sure everyone has time and space in the pool. That is a tough job.
I like the YMCA because I feel accepted. Every time I clock in out it’s says accepted it’s a little thing. But I believe a lot of little things make a BIG thing. I work at the DROP in ZONE for a long time. I love seeing all smiling faces. I say my job is fun fun fun fun then it’s not a job then you want to be there I love my job playing mine craft and games with the kids . What I tell the kids I am the teacher of Fun and there is no normal I have autism low on the scale I had trouble speaking when I was little taking speech lessons when I was little. I constantly got told I mumbled. I love the YMCA It gave me confidence in my abilities I love helping people specially with Autism please come in to say Hi I work Monday—Thursday 4—8 I work at the day care 3:00 my name is Blasco I tell the kids I am Tabasco or Costco to make it fun I got stickers from.

Fantastic, thoughtful & positive instructors
Facilities, staff members, and clean environment
We just became members, but Kaitlyn was so amazing with my 4 y.o. He has some extra needs, and she made him feel so special and excited during our "tour". He is typically very nervous in new environments, she raced him on the track (more than once) and was just so sweet. He can't stop talking about coming to the Y. Rene was also generous and kind. She quickly helped process my financial aid and connected personally with my son and I. She also sent me home with stickers to help hype my son up even more. So excited to be here!
Great!
Love Ignite on m/w/f 9:30 AM. We were informed today that no more mat on the floor exercises (abs) due to safety concerns. We must have mat exercises on the ground. My personal experience is BAD knees, so it takes me awhile to get down and up, but I still need to do the AB work.
the silver and fit class with Sarah is quite good, but moving it to 8:00 AM is an inconvenience for me. The time is being changed for Sarah's convenience. One hour is perfect for my age and stamina. She just needs to keep it within the limits by shortening one or two repetitions.
The silver and fit class with Sarah is a really good class.
I like the salt water pool. It's always easy to get a lane. The facilities are small and provide everything I need. Also, it is close to my home.
Staff are very helpful and kind.
