Ease of using equipment and friendly staff.
My daughter Avalee Last name removed was taught swim by Evan in level 5 1B session at 4:10. He is such an amazing instructor and Avalee has responded so well to his teaching and she is thriving in swim thanks to his amazing teaching skills and kind nature. I can see a huge change in her swimming abilities and she states that he is her favorite teacher! Thank you Evan for doing such an amazing job!
The Tom Taylor YMCA provides me with much needed machine, workouts, and wonderful classes for maintaining good health. I’ve been impressed with the staff facility and the various programs they provide.

Like about experience = I spilled water in the gym. I saw Michelle thru the mesh(?). She took care of.
My daughter Emma has been taking swimming lessons with Sandy and Bev, most recently the 2-week-long intensive. My son Ronin has also been taking lessons, and I think he might have had the same teachers. Their improvement over the last couple months has been nothing short of fantastic. They’re both actually swimming, which they certainly weren’t before. They’ve both over come certain fears in the water.
Very, very happy with their teachers over the last couple months.
Tinkerbell, Waves & Easy-E in Itty Bitty [camp] are so amazing with my child. So helpful. Tell them they are making a good difference.
Like = I completed the "KickStart" program with Scott - very comprehensive & helpful. My experience was excellent - nothing to add/change.
We just started swim lessons at the Tom Taylor YMCA in Gig Harbor and have been blown away by how great the experience has been and how wonderful the instructors are. Our own children's teachers have been outstanding and feom the sidelines, we have seen Sandi running the show and showing the other instructors how to improve. The pool is clean and well maintained the staff is friendly and we are kicking ourselves for not joining sooner. We had done private lessons before at the cost of $50 per lesson ,per kid and can confidently say our experience at rhe Y is better value. Thank you!
could improve = fix the clock in the pilates room plz. 4 min slow.

We love our swim classes. Sandy and Beth have been nothing but amazing to my little girl, helping her with her fear of the water. I am really happy to have them as our instructors
Happy personnel.
Efficient
We like the courtesy and friendliness of staff, who helped us during the initial process, gave a nice tour, and met with us to help with our goals. Also, the classes to date have been excellent.
Almost everything.
I always enjoy visiting and exercising at the Y. The staff is friendly, professional, and courteous. The facility is well taken care of and seems to be improving everyday,
Clean. Well managed and supervised. Staff is very friendly—I like being greeted at the door with a smile, a hello, and thanking me by name. Sometimes when I leave I may even hear a “ thanks for coming” or “take care”! I like the walking track and the equipment. The bathrooms are usually very clean. In other words all the little things that really matter!
Has all the equipment I like.
Helpful workout machines and staff!

Could improve = Ignite class during the evening, 5:30 pm or later.
