get back water exercise class on tues &thurs at 9:30 am
I have been a member since 85. Im 71 now. I've always enjoyed the group exercise classes over the years. I currently take the noon boot camp. The staff and fellow participants help me continue my routine. It believe it's the fountain of youth.
I don’t go to this one anymore I go to the UWT one but I have no issues with the center Y. I like that there are no kids.
First the staff. Always friendly and helpful makes life, interesting, easier, and worth a trip to the Y. Then the state of the building it’s always very tidy and clean and the other members/users are courteous and occasionally friendly.
Everything is clean there’s no bent bars. People are respectful. Wide variety of equipment and weights. It’s the best place.
Adults only, very clean, friendly staff

Tacoma Center is where I joined the YMCA in 1983. I now attend at the Tom Taylor YMCA in Gig Harbor along with my wife Jane Treleven
People. That's what I love about the YMCA. Sure, great classes and equipment are dope, but the people make the place.
I love everything and there people are very friendly
The staff are all so supportive and there are a myriad of healthy activities to participate in.
Group classes and socializing with Y friends.
Everything, every area and every staff are ever in order.
Friendliness with the staff. Very clean facility. Great instructors, like at the Tacoma, WA facility Amanda Halvorson is amazing!!! She is fun and she explains the exercises, knows everyone by name and she has a great spirit to her!!
I also enjoy the aqua fit classes. They have an amazing size pool and the hot tub is also great!
I’m glad I have the opportunity to join such a family oriented club!
Proximity to home
Great lap pool, very nice steam room next to pool with windows so you can watch for open lanes. Staff always friendly. Locker rooms kept clean. Self-locking storage with self-entered codes for wallets, phones, car keys.
I want to give a shoutout to the housekeeping staff. The pool, jacuzzi, and sauna are well maintained and super clean. It doesn't seem to matter which day of the week or which hours of the day I use the facility, the women's shower and dressing rooms are immaculate!
I am a senior citizen (very senior!) who is grateful for access to a facility which is so well cared for by a professional, thoughtful, and pleasant staff...... it makes me feel that I am cared for.
THANK YOU!
Convenient and clean and well equipped
I like the classes for older adults and wish there were more. Peter and Heidi are good teachers. I like that there are no kids running around. There should be a bathroom upstairs.
I "Love the Community Service" to all that you provide! Here's a song for ya, "Whisper" Jason Upton from the album "A Table Full Of Strangers". Enjoy!!!
Friendly, smiling staff greet me every time I walk through the doors.
Friendly staff. Nice swimming pool
Friendly staff, clean spaces, affordable membership, gives back to the community.
Location, facilities, staff
I love that it’s one place for adults. I love playing pickleball, using sauna and steam room. There are enough weights and and such that allow me to get a good workout. It’s just the right size to feel a real sense of community.
The adults only swim pool.
The quality of instructors for group classes
The pool was available for laps and uncrowded at 8 am on Saturday. Staff were helpful and polite.
