The ability to swim laps with someone crashing into me
Love the staff. Love the people who work out there. It's a good place.
Facilities, staff, location
I am very pleased with the new pool area and upstairs workout area. So well done! The women’s locker are there is very well maintained. Instructors are knowlegable for classes I have taken. As parking is a challenge, it would be nice to be able to use the back or west door as fall/winter weather approach…
Easy to work out plenty of equipment
The pool all the lifeguards are sweet I dont however like that there's never any open swim
Friendly staff people, always ready do help. Wide variety of equipment, and exercise machines, clean bathroom and locker room areas
Safe, friendly environment to keep myself physically fit & some what social. I'm an introvert personality type so it works well for me. : )
Very clean, friendly, excellent equipment, new swim area with Sauna/Steam/Jacuzzi!
Enjoying swim lessons with Fay. She’s a wonderful instructor.
Friendly and helpful staff
Pool hours are good
Staff doesn’t harass people unlike the Pearl Street ymca staff . I can’t only hope Market st installs a Sauna. I as a patron enjoy Market street only missing the sauna. Thank you for the relaxed staff .
Very convenient I work in the downtown area so very easy to get there after work. Friendly atmosphere
It’s perfect for me. Quiet and calm. I love kids, I’m a teacher, but after school I need quiet.
Friendly staff and environment
Kind staff, pool
Is consistently open, easy access.
It has free weights and a track and I think it's better than planet fitness or 24 hour fitness for it
Has a lot of different equipment, classes, and activities available.
Close to shopping
Good equipment
The Thursday Muscle up class ; but I think it may need a larger room. It gets a little crowded
Clean facility. Friendly faces, including staff and other the other YMCA members. Group fitness classes, plenty of cardio machins, free weights Olympic lifting platforms, kettle bells, there is something for everyone.
Love Amanda and Jennifer
The atmosphere. The “vibe”.
I like most of everything about Tacoma center! I was one of the first to sign up at the Center as soon as it opened. And I have paid my dues ever since! I attend the Abs class and the Friday morning workout in the gym. And the staff is always helpful.
Its near my home and very effecient.
I like the location (a perfect 4 mile walk each way from home) and the staff are the best - cheerful and helpful. I also very much appreciate the social mission of the Y and to me, that differentiates it from other gyms. People sometimes point out that it is more expensive to belong to the Y, but again, the YMCA doesn't really try to be just like other gyms. I think of the Y as a special place to go and I'm delighted that the Tacoma Center Y continues to exist, despite being smaller.
The culture and diversity. I have always liked that the downtown Y is a comfortable space for everyone.
Friendly front desk, nice yoga teacher.
Friendly community!
