I joined the Tacoma CenternYCA in 1983 and belong at the Tom Taylor YMCA in Gig Harbor and I am thankful to be a member for 43 years.Larry Treleven
While I usually go to Pearl Street, the staff and the options at Center are excellent.
I really enjoy how the facility is set up, with several small weight rooms vs one giant room. I really like the people—both the staff and members—everyone seems to take great pride in this place. I feel like it’s a true cross-section of Tacoma. I’ve been a member at other gyms that feel exclusionary or snobbish, but the center Y feels welcoming and friends to all.
I like the spin room, the hot hottub and steam rooms and roomy locker rooms.
You have great and friendly staff that I enjoy interacting with at your Market Street location. Plus Unlike the Pearl Street location which has a bigger pool, it also has more group sessions that cut into lap time for individuals and I don't have to deal with having six people swim in one lane while swim groups are taking up most of the pool at most of the times that I want to be there to swim.
If you could get a spare swimsuit wringer to have when one of your two stops working, so it's ready to install, that would be awesome. You've been down to one for sometime now and I'm worried it's going to quit and then we'll have to take home wet swimsuits
I appreciate the variety of classes and the cleanliness of the facilities. The staff is always friendly and welcoming!
I am currently taking swimming lessons with Fay Harvey who is an incredible instructor! She is so encouraging and an absolutely fabulous instructor!
I also look forward to Di's yoga classes on Sunday! She is also encouraging and welcoming.
I look forward to exploring more of what the Tacoma YMCA has to offer!
love the pool and class offerings
Everything is kept as clean as possible. I like my Thursday morning classes (pilates and muscle up). I also enjoy using the pool and hot tub. Folks are very friendly - both staff and other gym users.
The various facilities, the diverse activities offered, the teachers (especially yoga), and staff. I like its mission and how it’s lived out.
Great classes and the check-in scanner is easy to get to, some of the other locations can bottleneck there.
Location. Hours of operation. Precor equipment.
Great space for kickboxing. I also like the stretch lab upstairs to cool down after a workout.
I love swimming
Its my second home.
The facility is clean and has a good selection of workout equipment. The basketball court is nice and has the ability to play pickleball. The running track is also a good feature on the second floor.
Staff members are kind and approachable.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Lot's of classes to choose from with lots of convenient times to choose from.

Convenient to work, great staff and a wonderful clean space. What's not to like?
Friendly staff and new machines. I like the variety of machines and having 2 areas with free weights.
It is a very convenient location, good amount of weights and machines.
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The depth of cleanliness in the facilities. Then the walk track around the gym. Last but not least great equipment and variety.
Friendly staff. The online sign-up needs work. There are way too many pages to click through to sign-up. Then it accepted my credit card for the current month but not for the recurring payments.
Friendly staff. Carol, Hunter, and everyone are great
