Member Testimonials
I have been a member of the Tacoma Center YMCA for over 40 years and have an appreciation for the cleanliness and maintenance of the facility and equipment. When travelling and attending other gyms around the country the Y stands above them in every facet. The staff in the early morning is welcoming and personable and the sense of belonging to a community is evident. Many friendships have been formed at the Y as well as business contacts and connections. What else could you ask for?
I really like the not so early spin classes at 9:30 AM. The class isn't too early in the morning or too late in the day. I also like that I have privacy in the locker room. Unlike the Pearl Street Y there are no little boys running around watching me undress or climbing under the stalls while I use the restroom.

Staff, facility, and fellow members
Everything likes it
New equipment. Friendly staff.
I have always enjoyed the downtown Tacoma Center Y. It’s always clean, both the pool and hot tub never are enjoyable. I prefer a larger pool but it’s my go to Y when lessons completely occupy pools at Lakewood and Pearl Street. Their weight room is excellent as well!
it's a great daily experience!
Services for community members of all ages in a safe and caring environment!
Thank you!
I go to Pearl Street Y. I used to go to Tacoma center years ago. That's the beauty of where we are. There are three YMCAs in a 3 mile radius... you choose. The Y has been a stable, positive and fun place for me. I am so inspired by the Y community. I do classes with a woman who is around 85 and she shows up consistently and could kick my bum. I love that and I hope to be one of these people. Motion is lotion. Get moving to stay moving!
Variety and availability of equipment
Sense of community
I like the sense of community and the variety of group classes. The indoor track is perfect for running, rain or shine. The young adult discount also allows me to afford the membership, I'm greatly appreciative of the pricing!
Great classes. I attend the 10:30 senior fit class and have really enjoyed it. The instructors are so great and I love that classes are different all of the time so we don't get bored. I've got other friends to join because of this class. Name removed
Pilates and yoga! Cleanliness, friendliness, local use of fundraising, helpfulness getting started, excellent instructors who have mastered cueing - I like to close my eyes to also get a therapy session during gentle yoga. I am really happy I can drop in rather than pay for missing when an unexpected schedule change arises.
Friendly atmosphere...great access to many machines...always a wonderful experience !!
Diverse range of activities, plenty of space, and very clean
Always consistent 👍
Friendly, helpful staff! Clean facilities.
Every thing
Lots of equipment, super clean, people are nice!
Friendly people, nice offering of classes.
I wish there was a dedicated Pickleball class (like a 6 week winter session, included with your membership) where you meet weekly for 1 hour, learn the game and play against other beginners. The open pickleball sessions in the evening are a bit intense for a brand new pickleball player.
Friendly people, nice pool
Lot of exercise opportunities, and good people
This location is near and dear to me. The Y is better than every other gym I've been to. Look forward to my routine every week!
