Member Testimonials
The employees provide a clean safe environment, despite the high activity level and use.
I love the Aquatic area. I swim twice a week and enjoy the sauna. The staff is awesome. I appreciate the staff. The pool and sauna areas are always so clean. In fact today, March 19th I could not believe how crystal clear the sauna was. I understand it was drained and acid washed earlier. I had no idea the sauna is drained and cleaned so often. One more reason to come to the YMCA. My experience has always been positive at the YMCA. In fact my husband is thinking about joining so he can start swimming too.
I am a 5 am swimmer M-F — I appreciate so much the employees and life guards that get up to let us early morning risers get our exercise over and done . I used to swim before work and now are retired and I kept my same swim schedule.
I appreciate the effort made by the aquatic staff to make sure the pool area is clean and the water is safe . If a guard is sick I really appreciate that the manager comes in or another guard comes in so I don’t miss my swim time . The guards are nice and friendly and I feel very safe . I appreciate the effort the aquatic staff puts in to make my experience a great one !
The opportunities for health improvement are nearly endless and the experiences have been great both with aquatics and yoga. My experience has found Tom Taylor to meet all my health exercise needs.
Pool staff are awesome. Brenda is the best person in charge the Y has ever had
Not sure the top people in charge even realize how great a job they do
Leslie’s aqua aerobic class has been very helpful in improving my overall conditioning. I also sometimes attend Lisa’s aqua class too and her enthusiasm makes class time pass quickly. Currently am attending Enhance Fitness w Marie, Sarah and Teri who are all excellent instructors and very motivating. I have also brought my 2.5 yo granddaughter to gymnastics and swimming lessons and have found all excellent programs for kiddos! Always see staff cleaning and checking in to see if need anything. I feel very fortunate to live close to Tom Taylor and be able to participate in all the programs. Just need to get parents to be more responsible for not letting their kids poop in the pool. Shame they should always make sure have on aqua diapers and covers. I have had grandchildren come to stay specifically so we could go to pool on two occasions about 3 months apart only to find pool has been contaminated and closed down again! Accidents can happen, but are parents not double checking to be sure they have secure protection on those little bottoms!!!
This facility has exceptional customer service and client engagement. I absolutely love coming to this location in comparison to South Hill or Sumner facilities. Very glad we moved here.
We primarily participate in the swim team program and group exercise programming. Have been members since 2015, and love it.
We love the pool
We absolutely love our swim teacher! Sadly she has a broken arm right now but I will be requesting her for my kids once she’s better. My daughter just loves her and trusts her which has made her improve so much!
We love coach Lina and gymnastics. Amelia’s learned so much and her growth this year has already doubled what she has learned elsewhere. A larger gymnastics space to continue her and her fellow gymnasts growth would be amazing!
I very much enjoy your aquatics programs and attend regularly three mornings a week. I appreciate the instructors and the fine workout. It is well attended on the days I attend.
We loved TomTaylor! Both of our kids are on the swim team and have had a wonderful experience. Coach James has done so much revitalize the swim team here at Tom Taylor!! It is a completely different experience than last year.
I love Tom Taylor Y. I have used all of the Y’s in Kitsap and Pierce counties and Tom Taylor is the best. Facility is well laid out and well maintained. I especially appreciate the Aquatics area. I take Leslie’s 10 am Aqua Aerobics classes MWF. She is by far the best AA Instructor I have encountered. Haselwood Y is closer to me, but I don’t mind driving the extra miles for such a great class. I also have taken classes with Lisa on Tues and Thurs and she is great.
Both my kids are loving gymnastics! We would love for them to be able to continue to improve and expand on equipment and space. We also love swimming and climbing as well as all the sports we get to do.
Gymnastics program is phenomenal. The coaches are so great woth the kids.
I love the aquatics/aerobics program!! I come three days each week and it is the best way for me to work out. I need the pool as I cannot work out on dry land. This is the very best program!
Easy to get to. Very friendly staff. Wonderful aquatic classes and equipment. Use of sauna steam room hot tub and pool is essential. Would love to see the hot tub redone it’s getting old. Really appreciate the FREE aquatic classes. Thank you
We appreciate the Adaptive Swim program! Our daughter's swim and water safety knowledge has succeeded way beyond our expectations. Her swim instructor Hannah is the best and we look forward to continue working with her. :)
It’s clean, friendly and offers something for everyone. I especially love the deep water aerobics on M-W-F with Leslie!
The classes are all great. I enjoy all the teachers.
I like the quality of the aquatic programs. I participate in water aerobics 2-3 times a week. I like the silver and fit aerobics classes. I participate 2-3 times a week.
I'm only involved with the deep-water aerobics & have been very satisfied with the classes & instructors. My only complaint has been the lack of communication on the app. The biggest was when the T/TH class time changed & it was never updated to participants. For a few weeks after I saw guests come in 45 min after the class had started. Aside from that, I have nothing but good things to say. The locker room is aways clean & the friendly staff at the front desk is a great way to start your workout day! Thank you for listening & please update your social media sites.
TTFY is the most accepting and welcoming organization I have ever worked with. The aquatics department in particular is more like my extended family than a group of people I exercise with.
The Y is great for those with special needs, great for thousands of kids, and great for oldtimers who have time to hang out. The Y provides great social opportunity; very important! I have lots of friends at the Y.
The swim instructors are amazing! My kids have had Ms. Jo as a teacher since they started lessons at 6 months old. She has always been fantastic and helped my children gain confidence in the pool.
We’ve also been lucky enough to have teacher Sandy. She’s helped my oldest child make huge progress in the last few sessions. We’re excited to have her again in the future and couldn’t be happier.
All of the staff at the Y are amazing. But I wanted to make special mention of those two instructors.
We've been members for just under a year and my children absolutely love it. They take swim classes and look forward to going every time.
My children take swim classes and this session the pool has been closed unexpected more than usual. However, the staff still try to get classes done and accommodate though very inconvenient and frustrating.
The staff is kind, welcoming and the facility is very clean. My children especially enjoy the pool.
The choice of exercises and the people...staff and clients everyone seems to enjoy being kind to each other and helpful. the teachers are inviting and encouraging.
