Member Testimonials
Both my kids are in school age lessons, and WOW what a great experience! Minimal waiting on the side of the pool, great teachers who are very engaged in educating the kids about the strokes. My girls love their swim lessons in “the big pool” !
Helpful staff and great instructors.
Need more lessons available on Saturdays AND Sundays for working families.
It's a great facility; lots of cardio machines; so, I don't have to wait for one; lots of weights, but I do have to wait sometimes to use some of the cyber(I believe that's what they are called) exercise machines at the time I come, which is around 5:30 pm during the week. The staff at the front desk are wonderful-they are friendly, happy, and helpful. They greet you with a friendly smile when you check in and say have a great day when you leave.
Small class size, lots of options. But I wish classes for little kids weren’t offered in the lap pool - too cold.
Great instructor and the pace of the instructions
Friendly/attentive staff, small class size, lots of options with respect to date & time, affordable.
The instructors have been so patient and creative with lessons for my 4 yr old.
Teaching my children valuable lessons on water safety.
The teachers are very patient, and the pool is a nice warm temperature. It's so fun to be able to teach my little one some new fun skills!
I love the variety of lesson times and days available to choose from as I like to coordinate with the gymnastics program and do both programs in one trip. The instructors are kind and my usually slow to warm-up 3yo quickly warms up to them as he has learned they are safe and kind. My 3yo would like to add that he likes "chop, chop, timber!" :)
Incredibly thankful for so many classes available, but mostly for swim classes for my kids! Awesome instructors, attentive and fun!
Thank you
We love the y and the swim instructors are fantastic!
All of the teachers are good but there is one teacher who is amazing. She knows my daughter by name and has built trust with her at every session. To the girl with the black hair teaching swimming 1 for toddlers- thank you so much!
Granddaughter loves the instructors. She is making great progress. The YMCA is one of her favorite places to come.
Friendly teachers, low pressure for the kids, you can can tell that safety is a priority and it’s wonderful that the parents/guardians can watch right next to the pool. Overall a great experience so far!
We live in Bremerton and came down for a winter blast toddler Gym class. After seeing what Lina is doing we had to come back. We are now on our second session with her for gymnastics and she is fantastic. My son is growing so much and has a blast. While there I also started yoga classes with Shayla. Now we have to go to the later session so I don't miss those yoga classes.
Both women are great. They encourage growth and fun while respecting where everyone is coming from each day.
Appreciate the Rock Steady Boxing classes 2x/week.
So thankful the class is available so close to our home.
All the exercise options, the size of the track, all the weights.
Kids watch is an amazing program, very affordable way for parents to work out!
Excellent facility- wonderful place for people of all ages. And the people working there are all extremely pleasant to work with.
VERY FRIENDLY STAFF. DOESNT TREAT OLD PEOPLE LIKE THEY ARE INVISIBLE. VERY NICE ENVIRONMENT
We absolutely love Mrs Lina’s parent child gymnastics program! It’s the number one reason we have a YMCA membership! She goes above and beyond and makes the class so amazing! We have loved being apart of her class so much!
I love the way the Y building is designed since I'm a bright light person. It's clean. Even with the high volume of members (why would T Taylor want to increase it's membership????) we can always find space and equipment. It's a vibrant place....
All the staff is phenomenal. We had a complementary, one on one, hour equipment coaching session with Scott ~ fabulous! We now use the weight equipment 3X a week along with our other routine.
Unfortunately, it's a half hour drive for us ~ I wish the loom you had at MultiCare was still available; I found it very useful for a quick 40 minute use of the cardio equipment.
Excellent facility that offers a variety of activities! Professional and organized staff. Appreciate the extended hours.
Wish staff could help monitor the use of the youth gym, which has several damaged rims from misuse. The height of the baskets also often prevent use by younger members (presumably to prevent dunking by older youth and young adults).
Excellent equipment, pool, track
It’s a clean facility with wonderful staff and amenities. Love all of the classes that are available for adults and kids!
Just a request. Step machine upstairs #10 has a loose top handle and has had for months. Just a simple tightening of the bracket set screws.
Thanks.
The swim lessons are done in such a way that the kids are very much at ease and not scared or in distress. Our son particularly was a little skiddish of the water, but he has come such a long way with the gentle guidance of the Y swim instructors, especially with Ely. Our Calvin seems to be so comfortable with Miss Ely that he's able to concentrate on the actual swimming part, so it's worked out so great for us.
One last piece of feedback is that we found the regular classes might have had too many kids, so it was hard for the kids to get much time learning some of the time just because there were usually so many kids in the class. But the private lessons provide such a different environment for our son that helps him much more.
