Member Testimonials
A very friendly staff greeting on arrival. Aside from that Nathan ,Kate and Elizabeth are outstanding at leading water exercising classes.
No children, the pool and Yoga with Diane.
The Kickstart appointment was just what I needed to get me oriented. I’m happy with my initial sessions working out on the machines. I’m impressed with the range of offerings that I have yet to try but hope to soon.
Nice staff, complete and clean facility.
We believe the swimming pool is the best in Tacoma and appreciate that it is an adults only pool.
The new paint job really freshened and brightened it up. The life guards are friendly.
My 3X a week regimen includes only a 30 minute work-out on the Pre-Cor machines. The room is always well-maintained. Your youthful staff comes across as both professional and congenial.
My sole gripe rests with other users of the Pre-Cor machines who consider it their god given right to play with their cellphones when others are waiting to use the machine they are perched on. I realize banning cellphone use altogether isn't going to fly in the social media world we now inhabit, but I wish the Y had a posted policy requesting its members not engage their phones when occupying a machine.
I like the friendly staff and the facility. It is important to have someone say hello and greet you on the way in and acknowledgement when you leave. As happens at center Y!
My kids love swimming lessons!
The staff is very friendly and personable. I prefer the lighting in the Tacoma YMCA over all other YMCA’s. I love how the workout areas are set up.
No children and the Active Older Adult classes Peter teaches
I use the weight room, it’s complete, clean, rarely crowded
Overall the Y is a friendly place
I love the Y.
The Y is a welcoming place to gather, exercise, meet up with friends for classes. All ages are treated respectfully. The staff has the best customer support skills and are a key part of the Y success.
A side note: I was just in Denver, and did my swim workout there. Our lifeguards here in Tacoma are paying attention 100% of the time. Denver is a bit more casual with one guard having head buried in phone. This is just one way in which PCYMCA is SUPERB!
The classes and the responsiveness to feedback.
Nathan was a great instructor.
I really enjoy the great staff members, and the nice people I've met...Thanks

Relaxed enviroment.
I live for pickleball, the track, weights, and because I'm pushing 78, the jacuzzi. Great place.
The place is starting to come to life again!
Nick is great!
The masters swimming sessions are the reason I go to the Tacoma Y. Coach Diana creates workouts that help you work toward your goal and adjusts them to your abilities. She also has a very good eye and points out ways to improve your technique.
How patient, calm and reassuring he is.
Nice pool, gym and equipments. Nice group exercise instructors. Nice staff. Close to my workplace.
I've enjoyed Tacoma Center since it opened, but these days I'm occasionally at the U of W. T branch or most often at Morgan.
Friendly competent professional staff at the Tacoma Center YMCA make it a flexible, safe.and comfortable workout facility for all.
